Have a gear down kit for my Pro (that the son never uses), so thinking of swapping them out, and using the Pro gears in my Axys.
Pretty curious to see how this will work… :face-icon-small-hap

Got them installed, so far really like the better low end grunt, they went right on with the belt/ziptie trick, ezpz for 100.00 on ebay its pretty much a no brainer if you want to gear down a bit for boondocking :face-icon-small-coo:face-icon-small-hap:face-icon-small-coo

This is one way to fix your speedo, without having to have the dealer re-flash the conversion (if that is even doable).

As of yet we have not had a good powder day to go ride in so I could give a good opinion as to track speed ect, as soon as we get a good day of riding i'll report back.

I put the pro drive on my 17 163 with a Boondocker sidekick. Rode Cooke City right after the big dump. I was very impressive in the trees. Very responsive off the bottom, did over-rev once climbing a real steep pull in probably 40 inches of powder. Put some 10-70 weights in but haven't ridden it since. So far pretty happy.

My buddy is trying the pro gears on his axys today at lower elevation 2000-5000' , going to leave the stock helix, springs and the 10-70 weights in it for a far comparison.

Well for sure the pro gears give a snappy bottom end, and help with belt life. The sled we put the pro rmk gears in always pulls cords in deep snow. Today was chest deep with wet heavy snow, and no belt issues. Can't tell a rpm difference because we all were down a couple hour. So far nothing bad about this gear down.

So the dealership can reflash the sled to make the speedo read accurately?

Thinking about doing this eventually to my sled. I got Electric start. is it possible to do the swap without pulling the battery out? Haven't really messed around in that area much but it does look a bit tight.

If you cant clearly get at the lower drive and pull it out, than yes its goyta come out, plus u might wanna get a second set of hands to help put both gears on at the same time.
