sledjunk Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 You poo guys have your own language? WTF is VES and GGB??? Also, I can see the crank bearing taking out the engine, but what happened with the jackshaft bearing? Did the engine seize at speed and the belt took out the jackshaft?

VES is Polaris Oil and GGB was me having a mid life crisis lol.. i have no idea what caused the failures other than I was told it was both bearings.

It's really bad when the young guys telling you to put the GGB away. Did you blow a belt before this all took place? I figure you sucked some cord in behind the seal on the primary.

Techdenis007 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 The can had likely zero effect on the engine, might let it run a bit cooler if your oem muffler had a lot of back pressure. The tuned pipe is critical, the muffler much less so. I can't say I noticed that it was very loud, I only heard it when they headed out of Opaz Gas, and I honestly was too busy tieing down my 2 sleds on the trailer to pay attention. The next time I saw the sled it was coming down the trail on the rope ...... I don't know why the jackshaft bearing would fail with so little miles on a 1 year old sled, not something that's commonly seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amendola2001 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Yeah nunz who were you racing/flying through the trials with............ no comment....... lmao I think Lola the pink e tec scared the pro x. That's what happens when one of the group forgets something like a backpack at breakfast and 2 have to fly back and catch up after retrieving it. Which was already a long ride. Can't wait to she it back on the trials, I'm missing chasing that tail flap ha ha ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
