apex gets its 1st tow

[slowride06er]

I was on a ride todaythe sled was running excellent I then made a corner the sled now does not move the belt is good however the secondary clutch spins all the way around I think I broke the chain does this sound right any ideas the sled made a funny sound like a high pitch whine noise.

Driveshaft maybe?

Ouch!!

 

[slowride06er]

It towed fine I'm not sure

 

[Grimm]

Maybe your chain tensioner loosened too much and slipped off?

How hard is it to pull case

 

[karlburns]

Assuming your on an 06 not hard at all. Haven't pulled one on a newer apex to speak about those

 

[CaptCaper]

Lot's of info here on pulling the chain case. Not hard. You'll need some tips and lot's of info. You didn't post your miles. This always plays into what could be the issue on these machines. Drive shafts are common in a way on 9000 plus... bearing could of went as well.
Good luck...

Sled has 8100miles and it is a 06 er

Prolly the chain. If you buy one find a team chain, they are borg-warner just like stock for about half the price.

 

[Stubbs]

If the drive shaft broke up close to the chain case like they usually do, the secondary will spin freely. As you turn it you are spinning the chain, gears, etc. If you have a spare set of eyes to look under the sled, you will see the broken stub spinning where it exits the chain case.
