Ski Doo 850 Primary Clutch Warranty

[thiels2]

Was riding on Sunday, towards the end of the day my primary clutch let go. Turns out the spanner wrench came out of the belt cover, from there it got sucked into the primary clutch while WOT and did a substantial amount of damage. It broke ramps, rollers, clickers and a few cast pieces on both front and back of primary, got the secondary and broke several pieces of plastic. Definitely learned my lesson and will not be storing clutch tools there anymore.

My sled still has 1 year of warranty left so I am wondering if anyone else has had this happen or knows of anyone that had this happen to? If so was it covered under warranty or not?

My buddy had one let go with a MPI turbo on there - not sure about warranty - he's putting the polaris primary on now - first thing I did when I bought my xm was take the tools outta there and put in a nice tool carrier in the back of the seat

Cant see why that would be warranty. Your mistake.

Like know kidding, how is this the fault of the clutch ...........Jez sum peeps ! Good luck with warranty.......

I can see the argument that it felt out of the stock placement, on the clutch cover. But they'll probably say its your fault.

Man thats a lot of damage, belt blown also , looks like more to story?

 

[NoBrakes!]

belt probably blew after half the clutch came apart... that's a terrible spot Doo added to store tools. my '19 came from the dealer with the tools in a little bag in the glovebox, as this is a known issue back to the XP days.

The woops on some the trails are brutal - tools be a flying under there - my last trip to Renshaw my wastegate cap unthreaded itself and my vacuum line to wastegate broke off and a v-band clamp came off - I blame it all on the woops like every other sledder on the planet would not the 9lbs boost

First thing I do with the tools is put them in the rear bag thanks to S/M advice. The moral of the story is always read the great info you find here it will save you time and money. There are some very smart people on this site.

How do you know the clutch didnt explode and knock the tool out? know what I mean? Like you couldnt possibly see the exact chain of events just shrapnel aftermath

Way more documented cases where the tools fell out and damaged the clutches than the other way around. Lol

That looks like something quit turning and came to a dead stop like something jammed in there? Never seen a secondary cam do that on any sled in 40 years.
