I also need two of these. Got to be a better option than stock.
Doc performance in Edmonton Alberta makes one from UHMW that works good. http://www.docperformance.ca/custom-accessories-for-tmh2.html

We hope to have a different option this summer, but as for now we do have the stock idlers on hand. They are getting low and Timbersled is backordered on them so if you need one let me know.
Get your spec's on the part and call CMX or Yeti. See if their stuff will work. Quit paying for future upgrades. Both companies do their own R&D. They don't let the costumer do the R&D then have them pay for the upgrade next summer.
I have 3 years on my CMX and have spent $0.00 on parts that didn't work. I did bend a cross shaft on a stump that I had to buy.

Would any of these work? https://www.mcmaster.com/#roller-chain-sprockets/=15yzd0y
How about these:

13, 15 and 17 tooth.
Get the size you need and shim it to fit. Your problem is the same problem RACIN STATION is having with the belt drive. If TS eats a sprocket just think what it does to a belt.

Search function is a wonderful thing, I've been making them for years. I don't currently have any but I can see about doing a run when I get home. It would be a couple of weeks before I could get them done as I'm riding for a week right now.

I've never bought one because they are the same cheap crap gear as TS uses but yes I think the Mcmaster part number is the 8255k12 or the 8255k32 which look the same to me. I probably cant get a metal run done before the end of the first week of Feb, I wont be back to the shop until the end of January so if you are in a pinch the above gears should work. You will need to do your own research. I have found the TS brand of gear online before, search by the name printed on the gear, they are designed for conveyor belt systems, no joke.

I guess youd have to go to a longer chain to run the 17t steel gear? 6663k52. Seems like a pretty easy fix if someone had to put on a new chain anyways

A 17 would be pretty close to the track I'm thinking if anything I'd go smaller 13 or 14 as it might be a cure for the odd half link chain combos.

I made mine from a XR650R Counter Sprocket.
Last year I was pretty discouraged with the stock 15 tooth idler.
I made mine from a XR650R Primary Drive Counter Sprockets from Rocky Mountain MC. And SK 6203-2RS1 Bearing
The XR650R sprocket has an extra boss on it than you chuck up on and bore out the other side. The extra thickness helps support the bearing.
I left a lip in the sprocket for the 6203-2RS1 bearing to be pressed too and maintain the proper offset. Staked it in with a laser welder.
I made 13, 14, 15 tooth idlers to be ready for any setup.:face-icon-small-coo

Been riding ts for 6 years. Maintain tension and lube chain every ride or two and you shouldn't have a problem. I do carry a spare and never needed for myself, but have "loaned" to others who are to lazy to maintain.

I may have a steel one left here. I sold/gave away all things TS but I think I might have one sprocket left here somewhere.

ohhhhh
When i bought my first TS kit, I had read all about the cheeesey chain tensioner, but after thoroughly wearing out two TS kits, I have never had or seen a broken or wore out Plastic idler ? I made a steel one as a backup, never used it ?
Maybe some bad chains, bad alignment, crushing gravel, not letting snow process through the chain case ? I know if you let the chain heat you will not be a happy camper, is that the issue here.
