I wonder how much of this was due to bad harmonics from the motor compared to a poorly designed clutch?

This might be key. ^^^

Isn't this how the Doo TRA was done for years?

Wow, that is high. I would sell my 19 AXYS 850 for around $8000 with a full year bumper to bumper warranty remaining.

Doug, you have just invited 95% of the members of Snow and Mud because most of us are over 50.

They might have to add a cushion to the end of the clutch like Doo did on the TRA. Not for harmonics but as a bumper under the bolt head to take the pounding of the clutch, everytime it snaps open.

Like you need more time on your hands?

Yes we are pretty hard on the sled manufacturers but their suppliers can make them look bad. In the end it is the manufacturers responsibility for quality control. But to your point earlier, about the chains and gears, what should a manufacturer do if the product arrives late and is off spec...

I kinda agree with you although I also heard that each larger part has been individually balanced so mixing and matching parts will work. Not sure who to believe. The spider might be low enough in mass and that mass may be close enough to the center of rotation so it may not need balancing (in...

Damn, I thought I was going to see your cool new orange sled wrap. This turned out to be a let down.

Who knows? Even re-using the cover, cover bolts or weights might fall into the category of "repair" as apposed to "replace". Or they are just looking at specifically replacing the failed component.

Anyone who was left stranded on the mountain would be pissed, either a Polaris rider with a clutch in the belly pan or a Doo guy with and exploded chain case. The exploding chain cases sounds like it is an easy fix. The clutch might be too but I expect takes more time as re-engineering...

They all say that they are at work and can't talk right now so would prefer to text.

Just listed my 2018 Ram 3500 Laramie Megacab on Kijiji. Wow I have heard that you need to be watchful of scams but it has been rediculous. From the minute I listed it I started getting texts from all kinds of area codes. They all wanted me to go to their preferred website and get a history...

Found this on Snowest forum. Looks like there is some good news coming about the Polaris clutches.

He did my Walker Evans too. Great job, price and turn-a-round.

I use Forscan to recalibrate my Ford. It is a very powerful tool and the trial is free and $10 a year thereafter. It also lets you turn on and off many features. I turn off the annoying TPM warning as my winter wheels don't have them. Use a good qaulity OBD2 device to up load and download...

It could have hurt BRP's reputation too.

You have a point. It was only a bad decision if they did it to cut costs only. They did not seem to communicate very well why they switched out the parts.

No, they cut corners this year. Likely because there was a supply chain problem. Or maybe to cut costs. It was a bad decision.
