For those like me who's dealer isn't close by or you'd just rather do it yourself, if you don't have access to new ski-doo bolts you can replace the torx helix bolts with hex head bolts. This has the advantage that you can check and make sure the bolts are still tight without removing the secondary. The bolt size is M8 x 1.25 x 25mm. I use grade 10.9, which is stronger than the stock bolt. Tighten to 24 ft/lb and use plenty of blue locktite.
Just so you know it is not the strength of the bolt, so going stronger is not always better, a stronger bolt can be more brittle, the best way to do this is to add the nut at the back, it then is torqued, not off the material it is in but against the part with a nut, this is the best way to do this and ensure longevity.
