First Ride Thoughts

[Caper11]

I could be wrong, but after having the primary off my G5, I could not see anyway for something to get into the clutches if something is underneath the engine with the new upper and lower plastic shrouds.
The clutches seem to be segregated from the engine now. Its pretty much a closed design,
The upper plastic piece needs to be removed to get at the helix.

loved the first 150km on mine this weekend. I will go over it with a fine toothed comb later this week.

Awesome man these new sleds are awesome. Just need more snow to really dig those skis in and push that turbo

the open stator design really loves extra nuts and bolts and the new enclosed clutch cover will make sure whatever bolt gets in there will never leave LOL

Did they open it even more?
Didn't they read our thread about this last year.

Gotta zip tie another magnet in there.

I can’t believe BRP didn’t come back to read these threads after they were run off last time?

Lol I must have missed that refresh me

They just need to put me on the payroll I’m already hated and preach skidoo that took years of dedication

I thought I asked already somewhere... Is there spring spacers for the G5 yet?

I put on the bushpusher same as g4 - bugger to get on but work

Like any new chassis they're more sensitive and have to get used to... I was over riding mine and need to input less.

I set the springs to 3/5 and the rear shock to almost full stiff, then the skis would stay down on climbs with the limiter tight. but with the limiter loose... it's a rodeo!

I left mine on 1/5 and rear shock about half and she was an absolute rodeo

lol yeah I hear you loud and clear... I had my right foot too far back on a climb, put too much weight on it... the sled cut into the hill and I was pointed downhill before I could say holy fawk! the old uphill buttonhook was interesting!
