Clutch Exploded 2024 850T 800kms

[The Kickass One]

Anyone else experience this on 850T with 800kms. Any ideas on the potential cause?

Did the belt grenade first? Stock clutching?

 

[The Kickass One]

Was not my sled. Got photos from my son. He said it all happened at once. Belt was not hot

Stock

 

[LUCKY 7]

Warranty I assume?

Holy crap!

Humm, it almost looks like the sled took a rock to the belly pan.

 

[The Kickass One]

Warranty I assume?

I would totally assume.

It may have been faulty to begin with. Maybe an assembly guy dropped it on the floor and cracked it and didn’t tell anyone to cover up his boo boo. Hard to say

I had a similar failure years ago. Clutch had 4000km on it I think. If I remember correctly, the belt didn't fail though. Took out the pan and guard. Was repaired under warranty.
Looking at your pics, It appears something solid got in there. The bolt is flattened and gouges in the aluminum. Could have been a result of the cords snagging an arm I suppose as well.

did they switch to the p-22?

This photo suggests the clutch was hitting something, right by the pin for the ramp. The end of the pivot bolt was hammering something as well. More to this story than just driving along

The casting area around the roller looks nice & a clean break, no flaws.

I'm going with impact.

Those dings in it are suspect, but there would have been a lot of chit flying around when it let go. Would be pretty easy to tell if there was any impact under the belly pan. The damage on the outside should be obvious.

Maybe a pic if the belly pan would help us diagnose lol

Sons away at work in the bush. I’ll ask him when he gets back if he has any photos or if he hit anything. I was just seeing if it had happened to anyone else on here.

Green thumb did.

Apparently a pin or roller in primary blew according to dealer.

 

[MP Kid]

There’s no way that could’ve happened…
Complete conspiracy…

All S&M SD wanna be ambassadors are busy poking fun n the AC threads…
(Except Ken, made a brief statement here and threw the Frenchman under the bus).

Maxwell has yet to comment, so the official statement has yet to be determined.

ch!t happens, but i dont know too many skidoo guys that ride around with a spare bolt,clutch or torque wrench in thier back pack

 

[The Kickass One]

I’m not sure what happened as I was not there. I’m guessing the dealer was guessing as well

 

[lilduke]

At least its under warranty, so thats good
