Blew my chaincase already

CO 2.0 · Nov 29, 2017

Yeah I'm worried about the track shaft. The aluminum scratched pretty easy on the spline ends when I was putting it back in. It is really light compared to the steel shaft though.

I didn't see the rock but I was only going 6500rpm through the pow when I hit it, so it's not like my skis were in the air or anything. I think it was just a fluke type hit in early season pow with no real base.

I have a cat skid plate installed on my 18' mc, easy to install and create a great protection. But a found a mistake for rear attachement on both side of tunnel, where brake and chaincase are. we need to drill a rivet and redrill bigger to put a bolt but it's between twin wall tunnel, so we cannot put a nut, i put a bigger rivet.

I noticed the same problem, the directions suck, i wont drill out that rivet, im just gonna drill a different hole outside of the twin wall void....instructions are outdated, useless and not applicable to 2018 Mseries 8000

Not surprised their instructions are outdated, falls right in line with
their website, marketing, etc.....

It may be possible, they are larger than the stock plastic covers. I will get a plastic skid plate on the way and check.

Have u been able to fit cat skid over Jason's guard yet to see if it will work?

I just messaged him today about it. He is test fitting a skid plate next week with the metal guard

Red star said December on the mountain pickle. I like the idea of remove and replace, not cover up myself. the skid looks good though. should mount it up and get a clearance measurement to the ground, as well as the racinstation one. clearance is key imo.
cats have always been low slung in this area.

I have a skid plate coming - I don't suppose it will fit over the mountain pickle??? Double protection would be nice.

Here is a pic from the Yamaha site. Its what I put on my 18 sidewinder. Once I started digging more into issues, I have found this thread and have been following and found the pickle and a couple other "fixes". Hopefully the pickle will fit over the guard.

Heard a rumor that Yamaha has a set of replacement metal chain and break protectors, has anyone been able to find the part #?

My Yammie guy won't be open until after new years. Will ask and post if anyone is interested.

We had a small hiccup and there are a couple spots on the guards that need to be milled to fit correctly. I am finishing those up this week and I have a Cat plastic skid plate to test fit once we get that done.
