Buy Avid. You can NOT switch pitch number or drive tooth. You MUST run 8 tooth 3.0 pitch or it will not synchronize with the track correctly or the 2.5" lug will not clear the front heat exchanger.

Seal behind water pump, the seal is letting oil from the gear drive area into the coolant system.

I don't have a dealership, but I've been told current interest rates are 12-13% on floor plans. Just picked up a brand new left over 2024 Polaris from a dealer in Pine Island, MN. They had the option of paying interest on units or paying them off, they chose to pay them off and try to sell...

A 998 in a Matryx chassis may work well? I'm told it's out there and Yamaha is willing to deal.

You better hope the snow season comes back or it won't matter for Arctic Cat. Another bad snow season will = them being out of the sled business as well. There is enough 998 engines in Thief River Falls to go through the 2027 season, so it will be several years before you see anything I'd guess.

The chassis layout & steering post locations won't allow the Nytro kit to fit.

You can drain the turbo oil back to behind the primary clutch as well. I have done it on a few units.

Just don't get too greedy with your trail tune. I've been researching and working with these as well. Hope to have our own shop sled by fall time to get some setups ready!

Without being to able to measure the bores with a bore gauge, I can't answer that question and I have not used the ARP case studs before, so I have no prior experience with them.

Your bearing problems could be the ARP case studs, any change in torque application compared to the OEM bolt & torque sequence could be distorting the bearing bores. It doesn't take much to cause issues. IMO the stock bolts work just fine to 400+ horsepower.

The poster was put out by Hypersports, I'm sure the studied the data a little closer in the last few days!

Your number of 2-2-2-1 should equate to 5 - 2 + 2 = 5 which should be Yellow in color for the first three main bearings. The magneto side would be 5 -1 + 2 = 6 would be Pink in color.

Your single "5" stamp there I believe means that all the case numbers are 5.

That was in 1320' (1/4 mile), this was in 202 mph was done in 1000' run. I think they said the recorded speed at 1100' in this run was 211, but nothing official on that!
