2017 Axys

Has anyone else had a primary clutch bolt break? I had one break with 70 miles and the clutch fell off too.

I've never had a primary bolt break, but have had the clutch sheaves crack and break. Your situation sounds like the bolt was never tightened to spec and broke because it was loose. Buy a new one and get going. Things like this are not even worth taking to the dealer. The only exception to what I just commented on is potential crank damage. But at 70 miles it seems unlikely.

I have stock clutch bolts if you want to go that route. PM me

Must have been a mess. Gotta believe the pan, panel, and clutch guard are not like new, either. Sounded like both the primary and secondary are trashed, and both should get replaced by the dealer, either poo's warranty or theirs, for poor PDI. Hopefully the stub on the crank is ok, and the broken bolt came out easily, and the leader is taking care of you. Where did the bolt break off, at the stub end?

Likely a non-torqued bolt, or maybe not re-torqued after spinning/stopping the track. Unless it's a defect. Have seen the fixed half break, but don't recall hearing of any bolts breaking in the last decade.

They dealer was great. Took care of everything. The broken bolt came out nicely. I figure if I keep a spare in my sled it won't break again.

This happened on my ‘17 axys. The bolts threads were extracted and warranty paid for repairs. But then the motors blew later out of warranty and the crank was out of specs.
Now it just happened again on my ‘19 850!
