If you have this sled do yourself a huge favour and get those clutch tower bolts replaced. Don’t retorque them. Replace them. If they break you’ll likely loose a belt and the bolt is a pain to get out.

Same info I was told. remove them if they will back out. Don’t bother trying to tighten them

Some of them break as soon as the wrench is on them them. I didn't want to go to the dealer for a couple simple grade 8 bolts. So I just removed and replaced them. They will break and riding isn't recommended until they are changed. If your lucky yours will just come out easy. If not they will need to be drilled out.

I was hesitant on bringing the sled back to dealer but it least this way takes the argument away,if they do break afterwards. Pain in the ass, yes. Could be worse I guess for recalls, or better yet seen a delivered 850 with front shocks mounted upside down. Gold star!!

i was told same thing, just ensure they are proper torque to 24ftlbs and should be good.

Really makes a guy ponder the $400 PDI... Buddy of mine went to pick up his G4 and noticed the track was on backwards.... He got a $400 in store credit for his PDI charges.

Terrible, why I must ask did you not flip it when you removed your spindle for powdercoating?

thats a factory issue and not something typically checked hahaha but good for him getting the credit back

100% a factory issue, but something a tech should catch upon track tension and alignment which is apart of the PDI.

Season hasn’t hardly started and already all these issues. Makes me want to race out and waste my money on a Scummit!!
Just talked to my dealer and he said that it was just some of the sleds that were produced (middle production). Mine was produced early and he said I shouldn't have any issues hopefully! This dealer has always treated me excellent.
An awesome contribution for your yearly post. Keep up the good work.
