2016 m8000.
Set screw on secondary broke on me last season. Apparently it is not surprising to the dealer. Cut the tool that opens the clutch with pliers to get back running. So may not be a bad idea to throw a spare set screw and jam nut in your tool kit.

They do that during wear in, its ulgy at first but do seem to last. The first oil change is critical. I have changed mine out as i regeared but have seen hi milers that look no worst than they did at 200 miles. The chain will wear right into the gear.

I read somewhere when you put a can on, bolt her in. Yup bolt it down, wish I did. Can jumped out of hole, melted plastic belly pan, and through the oil injection line. Caught it right away, ended my day though piss me off, was blue skies at Quartz
