2011 m8 650 miles.
Inspected the rollers they are fine. Just a flawed helix? Anyone else have this problem?

How common is this?

Saw this on the 2010 and 2011 models several times.

It's happend to me twice now!
First time was stock helix, broke it coming off a big cornice under power, it just snapped just like yours. Second time was RK-tek helix, screws started to come loose causing a nasty vibration. Got home...had to ezout the broken bolts and replace with new ones but the next ride it broke the helix, must have flexed.

as if the primarys arent a big enough worry! Hopefully it was just bad luck

Wow never seen that, Bad Luck?
It is from shock to the helix from uphill landings etc. I see it more on hillclimb racer sleds than the average guy sleds. Usually the rollers will flatten or crack before the helix gives.

happened to my helix last year - it was a bdx helix.
insult to injury - had to get towed out by a doo on top of it.

Mine just did that 2010 m8, pins rollers, all of it,helix,
My 2011 M8 Sno Pro just did it on Friday, almost the exact same spot as yours. I had 1100 miles on it at the time, rollers look fine, was not jumping, just going down a road with a foot of fresh on it. Felt a vibration, then grenaded. Had to be towed out by 09 RMK. I was able to get a loaner secondary for Saturday, sled at dealer now. I'm still under the first year of warranty, by three weeks, hopefully it will be honored.
