Things have gone from ok to troublesome for me. Bouncing between Revy and mount baker with some lighter snow and some Cascade concrete. About to hit 800 miles and 5 belts down. I always catch them pulling cord and switch out before they detonate. These are broken in belts that I run up the trail and take off and then run down the trail a few days before their execution date. Clutches are always clean, all foam removed...pre filter vent kit installed.
Going from bottomless blower light snow where the track can free spin to wet heavy snow my first observation was that the rpm stayed the same and track speed dropped ~7mph = slippage.
Currently in Revy everyone is all about drilling out the clutch cover. Like stated above there is so little room between the side panel when it's closed and the clutch cover I don't see any major improvement in air flow. And the foam holds water and creates steam but removing it is not going to drastically increase airflow.
Meanwhile in southern OR we have buddies that have found seized rollers in the primary.
Regarding alignment has anyone else looked through the service manual? I only had brief minute but did not even see an alignment bar listed under the service tools and all the specs for offset and pully distance are "not adjustable" so you always have to wonder how there can be such a variance between sleds.
Other than emotional trauma from checking my belt a dozen times daily this sled is beyond amazing. It does things down in the trees where it's stupid deep that I still don't understand.
