I went up this morning and almost immediately it felt like something was binding the track or like the track was ratcheting. I couldn't figure out what was wrong so I loaded it back up. I got home and decided to pull the secondary and found that all but two of the bolts holding the helix on had sheared off. Has anyone had this happen before? It looks like I can replace the bolts and be good, but I'm wondering if something else is going on to cause this.

My buddies did the same thing last weekend after riding double all day.
He just ordered a new helix and bolts. Make sure they are torqed right
and use the correct locktite.

cat uses very cheap screws to hold the helixs to the secondary, best thing is to throw them away and run to the hardware store and buy some decent allen head screws or something like that and install them.

Check for bolt head clearance to the diamond drive at full shift if you change hardware
