Front Grill Kit

Motorbreath_ · Jan 25, 2019

Hey guys. I'm just wondering who you think makes the best front grill kit. I've noticed snow all in around my clutch side panel and I think its causing belt slippage. Also, do anyone make some sort of gaurd to keep snow out from around the toe holds??
Thanks!

Just pictures for reference.

Was the front clip on your hood seated properly when you was in the powder?

For the toe hold, the aftermarket screens for the pro rmk doesn’t fit to bad, in that area.

Yes, most definitely. The huge gaping hole in the front does a good job of sucking in snow. The picture attached is of the Xtreme Air Vents filter I'm looking at buying. Just curious if there is a better set up.

Just buy the factory skidoo vents. They have them in the parts and accessory catalogue. Kit for the front installs in seconds pretty much and you cant even tell that they’re there once installed. Cleanest looking vents you’ll find. Plus the kit comes with a vent cover for the intake hole on the inside of the air box for when it has to draw air from the engine bay

I'd rather spend my money on a decent aftermarket company that's trying to make a buck. That's just me. Thanks for the suggestion though.

If you buy oem I heard the screens on the mxz rs were better than the summit version.

Are we talking about the front vent, behind the bumper? Or a different one...?

Yup that's the one.

Do you know how I could find that? In the accessory book it only lists one part number. It says "Rev Gen 4 (narrow)"

There is a frog skin type material behind screen material. Basically keeps the fine dust out. I seen it on facebook but can’t post a picture on here it’s only on the 2018mxzx rs sno cross sled. You can look up the part numbers and see there different than the consumer models.

$38.00 for the both of them is the price I see in US dollars

The ‘19s came with one stock. It fits really well.

Yep the 19 ones work and fit great! And I found out it is cheaper to purchase separately than to get the kit!

Damed if you do damed if you don't

I found that belt heat is higher with them in so I run the bottom ones in and the top out for airflow.

I noticed a lot of slippage without them. I plan to install them, and make some vents for the side panel for added cooling.

The summits from 17 up should have came with them in my opinion. In deep snow the cab fills with snow, all the way out to the clutches. I know there are a lot of other issues going on there with the belt trouble, but this is just a terrible thing to add to the equation.

I'll also be blocking off the footwells too. I found a lot of snow got kicked into the clutch area from there.

so then the 2019 or the 2018mxzx rs will have the better front sceen vents ?

Snow, water or heavy steam is almost instant death for a belt. Heat is slow and painful but should be manageable with setup/alignment.

Keep her on the pipe with the front end in the air snow can not fill up the engine compartment:face-icon-small-hap

I'm trying to determine what the difference is between the summit the Mxz and the Mxz rs race front grill vents .

I know my Summit only have that fine mesh and the twigs easily punch through it . I'm thinking the Mxz just have that like fly screen mesh ?

My real question is , do the 600 Mxz rs race sled front vents come with the fly screen and the fine mesh Sandwiched together ?

Has anyone tried them on their Summits ?

the part numbers are as follows

502 007 977 upper vent screen Summit
502 007 978 Belly pan screen Summit

508 000 957 upper hood screen Mxz
508 000 813 belly pan screen Mxz

508 000 959 upper hood screen 600 Mxz rs race
508 000 958 Belly pan screen 600 Mxz rs race

thanks
