Another well proven on the snow design change before production.

Quit rushing stuff TRF. Send some of us new parts and things to test, I'll sign the NDA and provide engineering feedback.

I checked the caps on my '13 M800 Ltd after reading the bulletin over on HCS, guess what?? One tip was missing and the track was starting to chew on the end of the rail, luckily it didn't stab. I picked-up a BDX anti-stab kit and put it on. PROBLEM SOLVED.....I hope.

One case in Norway on a M800 2013. The suspension went through the track.
Only 100 kilometers on the sled and the guy was running on the flats after a tractor road.
Sent my dealer a message with the service bulletin attached and he will look at it when hes back from holiday.
But a BDX antistab will be ordered for me asap...

13 m800 limited stabbing?

How do you know if the track stabs? And any pics would be great! I just blew through my first belt today at 335 miles. Only a month of riding and have had several issues I'm not liking. My belt, one of my steering bushing is super lose, and now this. I guess buying a new sled has its downs after all. Dang!
