Tough and expensive day today. Virgin run since the rebuild. Had the wife on it about a mile south of the lodge. Buddy shows up, I take it out for a rip in a meadow and ,thud. Whole sled launches out of the snow and I hang on. Running weird, I hear the belt slipping. I lean to go back and it’s almost Like hitting the brakes and wants to dip hard left. I try give it the guts and then I notice the left ski spun around backwards. I then hear the clutch making noise and glance behind me an see a black part rolling in the snow. I immediately shut it down.
Asses the damage, new tie rod and both radius rods on the left side are screwed. Trailing arm ok. Not sure about the rest of the steering. Bulk head ok. Look at the clutching and the clutch is loose and bolt has worked it’s way out to push out the access plug on the belly pan. We goto tighten the clutch bolt and initial seemed to be going. Yank the ski back around facing front. Lay it down upwright, open the hood and hood the clutch. Some shiny metal shavings and the clutch spins. Great key is probably smooth or messed up. Can’t specifically recall if I torqued them. Hold the clutch and spin the bolt and notice crank is turning with the bolt. We couldn’t get it to restart despite changing plugs. We yanked the ski to face forward again
While me and a buddy and also my dealer turns her goose on the dealerships 850 Turbo. Couple hours later and I can tell she’s loving it. Guess I’m Buying her a new 155 khaos 850 With elec start. Expensive day not counting the damage.
