Went in here middle of August. Cleared some more logs out of the mudslide and took the Samurais to the tailings ponds. There has been a few huge slides come down the big avy paths and the access for summer is getting tough. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I ran the Composit M770 in my Sidewinder all last season. Was pretty happy with it overall. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lol, it’s already in the dump. Got almost 8000km on it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep. Brake side driveshaft bearing was also seized up but surprisingly didn’t eat into the shaft at all. I guess it’s a good thing all this is coming apart now! Lol, although I should have started 2 months earlier. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, I have that alignment tool and went through all the stub shaft BS also. Clutch setup works good, just having a brain fart on whether belt is too tight or too loose. The 8DN is longer than the JP, but yes now I have it in the shop I need to loosen like 06yamahaapex said. I’d like to try...

Ok. Battled my sidewinder since new and the only way I could keep belts in the thing was going to an old nytro primary and secondary. Put 2000km on last season with zero breakage and zero clutch rollers or weight bushing issues. I do however, have wear on the inside of the belt. I do use the 8DN...

Ok Yamaha gurus. Doing a track install on the sidewinder and have some wear on the nubs of the drivers. It doesn’t look like too much but would you suggest changing to some new ones? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you still have a kit? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I swapped in a 2.6 powerclaw in a 2011 M8 back in the day. Mind you it was a 162, but sled was all stock with some Bikeman clutching, and it worked really good. Best sled I have ever had actually. Didnt have to change drivers, but IIRC, a 3" wouldnt fit.

Always felt it was too soft. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got 7000km out of my OEM 162 Powerclaw on my 18 Sidewinder. What track have guys used that hold up well? Am going to stay with 162. Also need to replace the drivers so a pitch change is possible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sidewinder primary has the weights and rollers further away from crank. I have to run 6g more in my Daltons when I switch to the older clutch. The sheaves are also cut to allow higher belt speeds than engine speed, which is hard on belts. Castings are also different(looks weaker) around the...

Do you know what Center to Center spec is? I have a service manual and I don’t think it says in there. Parallelism was something I’m going to check here as well, but I also looked and don’t really see a way to adjust that if needed.

I put 700km on an apex primary last year with no roller failure then the clutch spider glide pieces failed and I destroyed the whole clutch. I’m not sure why it failed, I suspect heat. The exhaust idea stems from some harmonics/vibration issues I’ve had in past hot rods, but yes prob unlikely. I...

Ok. I’m going to build a straight pipe in the next couple nights and try it out. My sled kills primary roller bushings in under 200km. The apex primary and button secondary together will be a new combo for me next ride, but I’m at the point that maybe my clutch issues is a resonance thing. Lol...

Hurricane 270

I’m have the epi purple set at 0-1. I also bought the Hurricane tool couple years ago and have my offset sitting good with either clutch combo I’m on. Lol. I also run Dalton 70’s in the apex primary and find they are good for me.

Mines still 162, I cut my tunnel last year. With the elevate rails you drill out the front skid mount lower and use the lowest rear hole. Not sure how just using spindles would work, but if your going 174 with Iceage rails, they may have a solution. Are you using the CR resonator as well?

The Elevate kit also worked good. It did trench a bit more but I also had the shocks setup for max ski lift.

Looks good. I should have used my Nytro primary clutch last ride but I wanted to try the OEM primary with this setup. Are you pulling 8800 with your setup? I’m concerned the 47* helix is too steep for mine, but I had new stm weights in and may have just been too heavy. My Nytro primary is dialed...
