G5 turbo Gears and chain

[Caper11]

Hey Just a heads up, I was looking into the G5 chain adjustment warnings. I looked in my sled, and there are no HYVO gears and chain for 2023 in mine. I cannot say for sure that this is the case for everyone, but if your going to make a gear change on your G5 turbo, Verify what chain and gears are in your sled first.

I thought all the new Doo turboes came with Hyvo gears??

That’s what I believe everyone assumed, and the dealership.
The lack of the HYVO whine in vids and no warning decal on the chaincase, it had me curious, so I verified the part numbers the other day.
I was avoiding posting this info, but on another forum a guy already messed with his gearing and mismatched parts.

Well that sucks , chain and gears are about 400 bucks if I recall

That was for my XM , probably double that for a g5 lol

Hyvo is about $370 for everything actually.

Definitely no hyvo, I will have hyvos in my sled by the time its broke in and do my gear change and team tied conversion, pricey but no comparison in quality.

So when did BRP Change things, wasn't the hyvo gears on the 21&22. Reviewing the part numbers on both sleds 21 and 23 the part numbers for both the chains and gears is the same.

It’s in the fine print “production models may vary from pre production at time of delivery” lol

Part numbers match in the fische, but parts on the sled are 100% not hyvo. Have seen with my own eyes

21/22 models have Hyvo, just changed my top gear to a 20.

Yes it’s got a distinctive whine as well

why the change? cost cutting or not needed or…

Could be a number of reasons, from parts availability at the time of the sled being built, or someone thinking hyvo was not needed. Don’t know, but the parts fiche showing hyvo is curious.
Looks like the Lynx has something else that’s different in the chaincase as well.

Blown chains, that takes out the case.

I have seen pics of a destroyed bottom gear, so maybe the double spline driveshaft is a issue as well causing the chain failures.
But you know how the internet is, a few people have a failure and post it, it turns into a 3000 sled pandemic.
