Although I agree, this is really no different that the plague of bent 08 FX Nytro subframes, 05-07 973 engines with bad timing chain tensioners.
Every stealer claimed they never heard of the issue before. (Rolling eyes)

The bearing is better protected than the all-Yamaha models were. It has that extra seal towards the inside to help keep snow, ice and water away.I always needle greased the speedo side axle and Jackshaft bearings on the rx1's, vectors, apex, and friends nytros, etc., as it's super easy. Continuing the tradition is a little more work on the sw, so I grease and prick punch the shaft a little more each time. No spinning yet, and bearing looks like new and brake comes off the spline easily. The Yamaha bearings always get some water in, but the sw bearing is always clean.

I know I have seen Loctite Green mentioned before. But what about Loctite 609 bearing mount. Heard about it today from a Mine mechanic. I was installing a machine on the Iron Range today. He noticed my Yamaha hat we started talking Yamaha sleds. He has a VK with a 1000 cc four stroke. I told him I wanted to buy a Yamacat. But I started explaining the Cat related issue with the driveshaft. He immediately brought up this product and said it would set the bearing up to 10 thousands of an inch of clearance?

That’s been tried by a couple guys. Still spun eventually. Chassis flex plays into this issue also.I know I have seen Loctite Green mentioned before. But what about Loctite 609 bearing mount.

Caterpillar has a bearing mount product also, worked pretty good on heavy machinery when I worked at Ziegler’s. I was going to use some when swapped my track but the bearing fit pretty tight to the axle and I seen no signs of spinning with 3,500 miles on mine so I left it alone.That’s been tried by a couple guys.

That’s great yours is good. I certainly believe some shafts and bearings are fine. The shaft size/diameter where bearing sits is ever so slightly different from one shaft to another.Caterpillar has a bearing mount product also, worked pretty good on heavy machinery when I worked at Ziegler’s.
