I used bearing mount Locktite. You are going to need to get it apart sometime to change out the bearing so you still need to make it serviceable.

It's just a flat plate with holes drilled to match the three bearing/brake caliper bolt holes. Tighten them and it pushes on axle. I also plan to heat axle to release Locktite.

Sorry I mean bearing not gearing.

I did use bearing mount Locktite so I built a puller to get it apart when it comes time to change gearing.

Originally I thought my problem was .0005-.0006 clearance between axle and bearing. Bought a axle from Black Diamond thinking it might be an after market build. When I got it it was a Cat axle also and I ate that one up. Also added TD tune so I think added horsepower puts more strain on drive...

After 4 drive axles I believe I have cured mine. I turned axle down where it rides in bearing, welded axle up with hard rod, turned it down to spec, now have hard against hard instead of soft axle against hard bearing. 2500 miles so far and looking good.

I turned down the drive shaft where it rides in the bearing, welded it back up with some hard rod, then turned that down to .0001 undersize of bearing. Install with a bit of bearing mount lock tight. Now I have a hard surface against a hard bearing instead of a sorter shaft against a hard...

Hey Tom, Kevin and I met and talked to you last Friday in the 1/2 Pint. Just wanted to let you know how we appreciate the time and effort you put in to make Totallyamaha work. A lot of good info is shared and I'm sure between the website and the rides you organize you keep pretty busy. I plan...

One hundred and sixty some pages of speculation to find out they didn't do anything. On the bright side they didn't close up shop. Someone needs to start a new page on what's coming in 2021.

If it isn't broke, keep adding #*$&@ till it is!

Sorry about the other pictures not sure how they got in there.

I installed BOP radiator kit, very nice install even if it is a little tight. Not much room to get it in there. Did make a difference in idle time, but will still gets warm in low snow conditions. Any time you can add more coolant it is a plus. I was nervous about fuse panel right out in the...

10,700 miles and I am replacing axle shaft for the 3rd time. Brand new shaft had 5-6 thousands clearance. This time putting in an aftermarket shaft from Black Diamond which has only 1 thousands clearance. Will see how it holds up.

Fast Trac backers work really well, no breaking or splitting. Have been running them for years and will hold up for the life of a track.

10,700 miles on 17 sidewinder with last 5,000 miles with TD tune. Motor is awesome, some chassis issues. Nothing I haven't had to deal with in the past to make big mileage.

I have a 2017 Sidewinder SE 137, with 10,700 miles to date with the last 5,000 miles with the TD 250 hp tune with the quite muffler also from TD. Runs flawless, only thing that comes close is another turbo Yamaha with a bigger tune. Most fun sled to date. Had some issues with durability of Cat...

Very good sled, enjoyed it for 2 seasons, last 6,200 miles on TD tune. I did have to address some chassis issues to run the miles I do but I've had to do this on all my sleds, just part of the game. Good looking, fast and very dependable engine. I would never even think of changing brands.

The best way is to remove the 3 bolts from the back side which hold the brake and bearing carrier assembly to tunnel. With that out on the bench remove snap ring which holds bearing in housing to remove and replace bearing. If axle shaft spun inside bearing you may need to replace axle shaft. I...

Instead of a slot I installed 2 snaps per side, just unsnap to fuel or remove.
