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...

Great video. To the point and detailed enough, Great close up views. Super helpful man.

Hell yea thanks Steve!!! Lots of questions out there right now about th me gen 5 chains!!

Great vid man. Finally a good up close visual of how it’s done properly. 🤙🤙🤙🤙

Great vid Buddy!!

Thank you for showing how it works!

Thanks for that video bud 👌🏼

Very informative keep them coming

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

thanks

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

How about a # for the right torque needed instead of "feel" would be so easy to just adjust the chain by correct torque

So how much play should be on the secondary when you check?

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.

That chain looks way too tight.

Yea it’s to tight
