Pro RMK Gearing and Helix?
- Thread starter IceCap
- Start date
May be one tooth Diff.. On the 163" on the Top Gear..
Gears/Chain can be changed very easy..
May be they are the SAME..
Next year will know..

From what I have heard the parts fishe should be updated to show the 2011 models in June
On 155" 20/42 gearing
room for improvement for deep pow guys.

We wont know until they hit the showroom floor next fall.
The parts fiche early-releases are often incorrect.
The current IQ/Edge HYVO gears will switch over... the chain is a different length though.
The clutching/Gearing needs for this chassis will be similar if not identical to the past IQ models in the same track length.
Anyone who says that they will come with "X" Helix and "Y" weights and "Z" springs is guessing until the first units are delivered to the dealers.

Yep, pretty much what mountainhorse said. I looked at this thread more than once before replying. Even though I had ask a "factory rep". All speculation 'til someone tears into one this fall. What I tried to convey was the Polaris guy didn't really know 100% either.
not a betting man but i am thinking its a 68 link..

Yep, the chaincase is shorter... probably a weight reduction thing... The jackshaft now is almost touching the bulkhead... cutting weight where they can is thier new motto.
NO change in tunnel/track clearance from the previous model though.
70 pitch for the PRO RMK 72 for the Rush (it runs a 23 tooth top...wow)

Any idea why they didn't go with the Team Tied secondary? I assume they are still using the 7 year old TSS '04 ??
Paul,
The Team Tied did not have enough use "under its belt" yet... Not enough for an OEM to make thousands of sleds with them... One variable at a time.
People are still trying to wrap thier head around translations and making them work as well as possible.
I have a Team tied... It has its Plus' and Minus'
Why didn't doo go with a divorced secondary and run the Tied vs the problematic QRS?

gearing for the pro ride 155-163 is 20t-42t with a 72p chain... the sec. is running a 56/42/.36 helix with a black spring... and how i know this is it's on polaris parts online it's been there for a week now... nothing on the assault yet...

imo, all you guys who swear by droping a tooth or two are just makeing up for poor clutching.

This is true to a point the 56-42-36 helix just is a dog for a helix. This pro should have 62-40-46 or a 64-40-46 and a gear ratio of about 2.15 with a 155, 2.20 or about for the 163.

i am not close to understanding clutching ot the point of which i would feal able to clutch some one else's sled efficiently....BUT i had it explained to me that the lower gearing can make your clutches have ot shift to much and it causes excessive heat and loss of proper performance.... Idk?
I geared my 900 way down and it was awsome...till i raced a stock 700 that smoked me...
