Chain tensioner

[mxz sledhead]

Just broke the tensioner in my chain case took out the top gear and chain and yea same old song and dance warranty end in end of Dec and they want $600 dollars for parts and labour .My qustion is did anyone else have the same problem or its just my bad luck

on my 08 xp mine went at 5500kms, its cheaper to do yourself, but a bit of labour there...

 

[maxwell]

thats like 150$ in parts and anyone with a few wrenches can do the job.

if youd like i can send you a digital shop manual

 

[jimxp]

oh thought he said chaincase, easy fix.

Consider yourself lucky thats all it did and not blown out the chain case. I'd say your looking more around $200 +- for parts. Average 90 to 150 for the chain 50 for the top gear and whatever for the tensioner. Few tools and do it yourself.
I just blew my whole case up and quoted 970 for parts, I think i'm going to C3syncrodrive now at $30 more.

just saw an '11 freeride at the dealership that ejected the tensioner out of the bottom of the case. nasty

go on snowest there was one with an extra belt and carbon cover for 600,you might wanna different gear ratio but thats easy and cheap.I run this system and it kicks as@ ,super slick you can see if there is any issue just by opening your panel,no more oil..i would suggest gettin the sleave for the top sprocket also..

I inspect my stuff through the little windows that automatically appear between inspections.....

 

[POWDERSLUT]

[treeboy]

Some of us do inspect every ride and still crap happens. Close to 10 000kms on it and very few issues.

 

[POWDERSLUT]

chains should be replaced every 5000 kms ,cheap insurance...

 

[treeboy]

I guess i'm doing good at replacing them around every 3500 or every season. This last chain lasted maybe 1200km and I checked the tension the night before, but it was a low priced chain they brought in. Seemed really cheap too me.
