If anyone read the articles in snowest where they updated a 2015 '8000 to the new 2016 rear skid, they mentioned that you need a new rear idler arm. This is not true, I am doing this update using the Yamaha parts as they are a bit cheaper and I ordered the pull rod and idler arm. When I received them the idler arm was exactly the same length as the old one, the only difference was that it has two mounting holes for the shock, guessing that is because the 141 track option uses the old geometry? In any case, save money and just get the pull rod.
Also as a note, the 2015 Viper MTX had this updated skid rails and other parts, so I guess AC got the idea from Yamaha.
