S Modual repair

[bonesy]

I need to change out my S modual on my ‘15 800 174. I’m wondering about replacing with a BRP or if there are options available? Any tips to do a better job, time savings, etc? I plan on doing driver bearings since I’ll be elbows deep anyway.

Thanks

cover your motor well and hit the huck rivets with a chisel and hammer easiest way to remove them
Use bolts to replace the huck rivets

I changed mine a few years ago. Pretty sure I bought a little die grinder for rivets and the used bolts. We were in Vale at the time so it was what I could find.

Doesnt hurt to put on a S- mod brace while you're at it

Check with @catmando on here for used ones, sure he has many in stock.

Don't buy the bigger brp rivits. Super expensive, just use bolts

I tell everyone, don’t put on those aftermarket brace kits, the damage just goes farther back and more serious . It also makes changing an arms a complete pain in the ass.i unfortunatly don’t have any,(Engine Support Brackets) they are not called (S Modules) s module is the main part of the tub. Everyone calls the bracket the s mod. I got a few s modules, no brackets!

S module. Suspension module.
Easy change .
E module. Engine module .
Sucks balls .

There is a few different brace kits you can get. Having replace tons of those s-mods, or s-brakets what ever you want to call them i always put them on any xm or xp.

I like the grip and rip kit best

If you are worried about tranfering damage to other places, skidoo has a brace kit that isnt as heavy duty.

It helps brace it for jumps or whoops but doesnt really offer any protection for head on collisions though. Try to avoid those though. Haha

2nd the grip and rip had it in all my xms and happy i did

I got so sick of changing s-mods in my XM's, brace or not. Shitty design.

If replacing with new get the mxzr s mod. it has a couple extra braces built into it from the factory.

good call and that jogged my memory. That or the Freeride S-mod was actually cheaper than the summit S-mod as well.
