It would have been great if you would have shown the free play on the clutch side once the chain was adjusted!

Great vid. Probably more important than ever since for some reason the '23 turbo R's didn't come with a stronger chain like the previous years' turbos. check the part numbers on your sprockets with the parts fiche and you'll see that the fiche shows different part numbers which is the proper HYVO equipment. the chain that these sleds came with is also not HYVO. supply issues, cost cutting, who knows why...

It’s a misnomer, but chains actually don’t stretch. The tensile strength is far too high. On a motorcycle where it’s subjected to the elements, dirt and grime each link will microscopically wear down causing slop, making the chain longer which gives it an appearance of a stretch. However, a chain enclosed in clean oil isn’t likely to wear nearly as much as a motorcycle chain. I suspect either the plastic chain tensioner wears down loosening the chain or more likely the tension adjustment screw slightly backs out due to vibration since it’s not locked in place. Either way you’re correct. Very important to check the tension since these things are wildly and unnecessarily constantly blipped

disagree I owned a bike shop for years and laying a new chain next to a used chain the used one will be much longer.

Exactly, not stretch, the wear results in slop between links.

On the adjuster what’s the deal with the cotter pin some people say you just leave it in and don’t touch it other people say you have to remove the cotter pin? What’s the proper technique and what’s the purpose of that pin
@toppstuganare645 Жыл бұрын
How about a # for the right torque needed instead of "feel" would be so easy to just adjust the chain by correct torque
@SteveMartin12 Жыл бұрын
I thought about that too, but I didn’t think everyone had access to the correct torque wrench.
@keithrauch132 Жыл бұрын
So how much play should be on the secondary when you check?
@SteveMartin12 Жыл бұрын
I honestly don’t check with the secondary, I run the adjuster until it’s snug. I’ll check that for you though

Hey Steve, why can't ski doo just tap the chain case bolts instead of using that self tapping bolt ? I've never had in issue until my 21. My 20 and 14 are still perfect. I've taken the time to tap on the 21 and install a nicer bolt. And you can really feel that set up tighten up.
@jaco177 Жыл бұрын
probably cost. cheaper to use self tappers-gotta be careful when tightening those bolts and use a torque wrench. the case is magnesium and it's easy to strip the bolt holes.
@backcountryshitok Жыл бұрын
All the money they waste they could tap those holes. And yes I torque 89 in/lbs
@jaco177 Жыл бұрын
@@backcountryshitok yeah, would like to know why they don't. a thing I do is run a tap thru the chain case bolt holes to remove the metal chips left behind when the self tapping bolts are first installed at the factory.

That’s a good idea, I’m not sure the reason behind that. You have to be careful for sure with the magnesium case and cover
