I tore down the Polaris engine, it was the PTO rod bearing that went. :4STroke:

Thanks! but ....No I wouldn't! If I could go back now I would have bought a narrow front end for the mountains and kept it for a couple more seasons. That sled should have been one that was retired to the back of the garage and kept as a spare/wife/kids sled. But who knows the guy that bought...

.....with an old girlfriend. It never takes long before you remember why you dumped her. I had a 2009 Nytro that I had sunk a lot of money into and It was an awesome sled. It was extended to 144 with iceage rails and did really well on our annual mountain trip. But I decided I needed...

Thanks Bounty, I am sure I won't be gone long. I'm already thinking about an MTX!

Well after planning to keep my Nytro for this past winter, I made an impulse purchase and bought a 2010 Ski-doo MXZ-X 600 RS. (Factory Race Sled). Loved my Nytro but needed to make a change. So the performance parts were removed and sold and the sled was sold. So this concludes this build...

Yup same thing happened to my pipes. Mag side one is the worst.

Mine had 4 screws however there are two on the outer cover then two underneath holding the switch in place. Here is what I discovered for anyone else who runs into this; In order to slide the switch/harness out the end of the housing the kill switch need to be in the UP position. This is a...

I broke the little red button off and have a new one, but I can't seem to get this thing apart. Anyone replaced the kill switch? What is the trick?? I 've taken the inner covers off but can't seem to pull the switch assembly apart, not sure what it is caught on.

I really don't think you'll need heat. On every Nytro I've taken apart once the set screws are loose the bearing slides off the shaft. If it does not I would suggest dropping the shaft. Two bolts under the chain guard and the entire thing drops out. It is very easy to remove the driveshaft...

The bearing is just sandwiched in the mount bracket on the PTO side. There are two bolts under the belt guard if you are taking the driveshaft all the way out. If you are just sliding the bearing out after you have the outer side of the bracket off, then it is held on the driveshaft with set...

Yeah I agree. Make a template out of cardboard then transfer it onto some sheet metal and cut it out. THen just rivet it in. That's all I did.

Is the jackshaft bearing not pressed on?? I thought it was or maybe I am thinking of one of my other sleds. Driveshaft bearing is very easy to replace.

Yes you can simply tighten the spring to increase the preload. However for riding out west I would not worry about that. That is more for guys that run without a sway bar on the trails. if you are going to run the trails without it then yeah tighten the preload. I run without one trails and...

I have taken my Nytro to the mountains 4 times now and we have also had a XTX with us. On my 121 converted to 144 I am running a 2" challenger with no issues (9t whal bros extros). The tunnel protectors have been removed and I am running 19/39 gearing (so down 2 teeth). I am also running a...

I run a 19. The thing you have to consider is that you are not loosing any top end by gearing lower. That top end is already lost by the added mass of the track you are turning. You are simply matching your gearing to the track you are turning. In terms of choosing between a 20 and a 19...
