I run it. Sounds awesome to me. I wouldn't change it. Much quieter than the 3" Heartbreaker. I wouldn't change it, personally. Hurricane 270R and CAI. It's not stock but stock sucks.

No Studs, Backcountry 1.75. Clutching from Ron Ward. His own Helix Design. All Dalton stuff Black/Orange in Secondary. I forget specifically weight and Spring in Primary. I have it written down. Also running float on Secondary and Turbo Dynamics rollers in Secondary.

It's an excellent corner to corner setup. Top end is not the best but acceleration is incredible especially with the 1.75" Backcountry track.

I currently have 2000 miles or so on a Timken XS 825. It's still good. Hurricane 270 with 3"Sandale. I have clutching from Ron Ward. Its Dalton based but he designs his own Secondary Helix. My clutches stay pretty cool. My alignment is within spec.

I ran this belt last year, Hurricane 270. About 2000 miles and still looks good.

I picked up a Drive Saver as well. My dealer had ordered in a couple. I wonder if there is a connection between this bearing problem and the upper gear bushing problem? I have had gear changed three times under warranty.

Dealer decided to check my Driveshaft for wear. Good thing they did as seen from photo's. Almost worn through the hollow shaft. Ruined brake rotor from movement. End of drive shaft was rubbing also. They had ordered a couple of the driveshaft savers. I bought one from them and I am going...

Here are a few pics of my last gear with 1500 miles on it. Bushing is just about totally gone. What isn't easily seen is that bushing actually spun inside gear. Oiling holes no longer align. Service manager told me that last year they replaced 7 gears, this year 84! Yamaha, we have a problem.

Some are failing and some are not. :dunno: I wish I knew why. Dealer also wishes they knew why. All winter I was worried about getting towed home again. That's no fun.

First gear was on stock tune, second was on tuned sled. Mechanic sets tension. Its still on warranty.
