Just make sure to cut enough around the clutch cover and blowhole to make sure it's not touching and possibly grounding the DESS key
Anyone got their MTNTK Blow Hole yet?

If it is grounding and causing a DESS error. Take the hood off and look down to see how much and what part of the cone is touching. Then grind it down so there is a gap. I went with about 1/8" then added a 1/16" thick rubber to where it was touching.
Just my experience with it and how I fixed it.

Thanks for the idea. Had a ktm fan Laying around so I whipped this up ....
The foot hole is usually packed with snow so we’ll see how good this will work. But cost nothing to build anyway so why not.

Where did you hook the wires?

Can almost read the part number..looks good
The temperature of the air coming out of the blow hole wouldn't allow snow to build up. You'll probably be just fine. Might make for a wet left foot though...
So what happens if you shatter a belt and all the chucks go into the fan?

There’s an accessory 12v plug under the hood. Tied it into there. It’s already fused too. Easy peasy.

Hole really is pretty small to be honest. Also, the fan is right down on top of the belt cover. It's in between the belt guard and the side panel and at an angle.
Could it happen....maybe. Will it? Probably not. I just know that after seeing the carnage of belts getting too hot last hear I am going to keep mine cool. Maybe it won't shatter if it's kept cool.
The fan is very heavy duty. It's definitely not some small cheesy light fin fan. Like I stated above I have yet to blow a belt since I installed them on my sleds though.
I rode a '17 RMK the other day. They are both so fun to ride. Different, for sure. . . but a blast either way.

Installed today. Pretty easy, cutting the clutch cover was a pain but everything came together fine.

Man, you have your springs dialed up! Is there guidance on spring settings vs weight?
Are they still working good for you guys?

I haven't blown a belt since I put it on my two 17 850's.
Turbo'd 18' and I have had 0 belt issues. Turbo and Blowhole were installed when the sled was new. Clutches are warm but I have been able to adjust pivot bolt weights almost immediately after stopping. I have been checking deflection before each ride and cleaning clutches and belt every 3rd.

I absolutely exploded a belt Saturday with one on.

Been running one on my 14 freeride. Might need to get one coming for the 18.
