I just picked up a 24' Sidewinder SRX and after reading about a bunch of mods the earlier Sidewinders have needed, I am wondering if any of the previous upgrades have since been resolved by Yammie/Cat, or are these concerns still requiring immediate fixes or upgrades?

Driveshaft Bearing? Is this still an issue where an inner sleeve or outer bearing upgrade is required?

Chain Case Tensioner? Is the bolt still an issue where the Barn o Parts (BOP) bolt upgrade is the current fix?

Rollover Valve? I saw BOP had a modified cap and vented line to eliminate pressure build-up in the oil tank.

Of course, I have read there to be a host of other upgrades one can make, but on this new sled, I am wondering which ones are critical and should be performed from the start, or maybe right after the break-in is complete. I hate tearing apart a new sled...lol

Any advice on the 24's is appreciated/

That's one of my Boys that had entered and nearly won it. He's an enthuiast for sure, and has been doing Sled Wraps and custom graphics for a lot of mountain guys.

He's riding one of my old 2 smokes but has his eyes on the new stuff now.
