changing out the gear and chain?  I would...

No. Seems only the mountain sleds were having issues. BRP cheaped out on some sleds gears and chains. I've never seen any trail sleds yet.

I'm just adding the tki retainer for peace of mind, and possibly, to prevent future issues.

I'm going to keep this sled for a while.

didn't he say in the video certain years/vin's could get them for free?  if so and it applied to mine, I'd change it over to the solid gear without thinking twice.

not really, mine get maintenance and a jackshaft bearing on occasion.  the not stock one has had its foibles, but that's just part of the modifying game.

Just some mountain sleds with the junk gear/ chain.

Retainer is in. Need to wait for loctite to cure.

If I'm in that deep and planning to keep it, I'm putting in the best quality parts I can.  At least you did the TKI 'fix' in advance.  :thumbsup:

That sure looks like the junk gear that breaks and leaves you stranded....

The TKI piece should take the movement (wobble) out of the equation, but I'd throw that gear in the trash rather than even give it an opportunity to fail. 

But, is that a Hyvo or Rexnard chain and gear? 

Edit... must be a Rexnard.

Oh look, I learned something new today I don't care about. :roflcrying:

good eye..

This entire thing is hilarious after the doo guys bashing AC for the procross chain case.  Pretty much every sled AC has built for the last 8 years including the blast has a much stronger hyvo chain and gears than what doo is putting in their turbos.

Just to repeat my self, the blast comes with a stronger hyvo chain and gear setup than doo uses on their turbo sleds

2010 quality parts just swapped for other quality parts... sitting on my desk.

how long is the tunnel going to stay that white??

Only reason I can imagine to make a change like that is if the time saved on the assy line by stuffing in an assembled chain case vastly outweighed the added cost of parts and warranty of the 2 piece shaft.
