Do,s and Don'ts a 2001 rmk from 144" to 156"

[Cumminsnorth]

I know a couple of you have done this already. Here is how I am thinking of doing it.
Wildchild rail extension from 144" to 151"
Move the skid back 3"
Raise the back mount about a inch
add extravert's
Cut the skid back to make room for the extravert's
And find a tunnel extension from a 151

Anything else or anything you would do different?

Thanks

That pretty much describes what has been done to my '99 - 700 rmk whe it went from 136 to 144". Next week she's going from 144 to 156" using exactly the same process.

Done one and everything sounds right. Just a little time.

 

[Cumminsnorth]

Sounds great that I am on the right track. Now I am off to the garage to start working on it.

 

[ski-doo]

looking for a 144" track in good shape. Are you willing to sell a track?

 

[Cumminsnorth]

Yes I would sell it cheap it has 4500miles on it and about 8 or 10 missing lugs.
Let me know.

 

[Cumminsnorth]

The track is out of the machine it would of been a lot quicker if I didn't have that mechanical reverse but I do have 4500miles on that reverse and it still looks very good!
Tomorrow the engine comes out so I can sent out the jugs to get recoated.
Going to try mongoose in BC anyone else use them?

I am now thinking of going with a 155 series 5 track with a 2.4" lug.

Well a 2.4" lug fit if I go to 8 tooth drivers?

 

[Cumminsnorth]

Well I found out that the 155 won't work because it has a pitch of 2.82 and no one makes a driver to work with my axle.

Looking at a 153" with a 3.0" pitch now.
