And yes it is the lower one so "drive shaft" sounds like the proper name

Thanks. I was hoping to avoid removing the skid..............oh well

So my wife's 2013 600 RMK blew the lower bearing in the chain case. I believe it's called the jack shaft bearing? Anyway I have removed the outer cover all the gears, chain etc and removed any visible screws and nuts that would hold the whole chain case assembly in place. I can't get the back...

We go to watch the wee girl smile and laugh and demand a new "kitty kat" every year. She is still too scared to ride the "scoot", but a "kitty kat"? Oh yeah she would ride it every day! The missus needs new gloves, I've got a bent scratcher and beer is always good!

You are in a tough spot. Having a General Contractor build your new home typically, will not get you the Alberta Home Warranty, National or Blanket Home Warranty protection. You need to ask the question in advance to see if the GC is registered and has paid their fees. I am not saying that a...

I live on a lake about 60 Kms from Edmonton. It is WAY too busy, hardly any room for boating. It is constantly besieged by green algae and everyone has swimmers itch all summer. I am pretty certain that people pump raw sewage directly into the water. The fishing is horrible and if you did...

I hope you get yours working too Ryan. Mine is definitely an "on throttle" bog. It shifts fine and has no issues between hard pack and powder. I feel like it is close to being right, it sounds way better after the power valve cable replacement, it has some of the "pop" back in the exhaust...

2011 Crossfire with a mid range bog. Here is what I have done; Removed MBRP can and reinstalled OEM suitcase no improvement Removed and cleaned both power valves no improvement Replaced spark plugs no improvement Removed power valve cables and found fraying on mag side. Replaced cable...

2011 do require the upgrade. They still have the single row bearing. Imploded mine a month ago, about 1500 miles, so not bad wear on it. Every unit is slightly different, I did not have to machine mine it fit perfectly.

Thanks Paul, I pried it apart as suggested. I was a little gentle before because everything else just disassembled once the snap rings were removed. Thanks again!

Thanks for this post! I have taken my diamond drive out of the machine and am trying to separate the planetary gears from the housing where the problem bearing is located. I cannot get these apart. What am I missing? I have a 2011, I have removed two snap rings thus far and it is driving me...

Wifey now has 45 miles on hers. It's a 144 RMK, so no issues with drive shaft. All geared up she is under the factory suspension set up weight. The feedback so far has been "awesome, I love it!","look I can pick it up myself", "so light", "goes where I want" and "the hand warmers are SO hot"...

Santa is bringing the Mrs. a 600 RMK. She was a real good girl;). But shhhhhhhhhhhhh! For a couple more days lol

I have a 2011 Crossfire and yesterday on a ride, the secondary clutch was stuck open with the belt lodged right at the bottom. Nothing would engage, and it was almost like the brake was on. We took it apart removed the belt and the clutch came back together. I managed to limp it home, it...

After 25 years of smoking, I tried Champix. It worked very well for me and saved the wife and kids from the majority of the moodiness. I stopped using the Champix less than 3 weeks after the quit date, and will power has kept me off them since then. Still get cravings once in a while, got...
