08 154 rear in a rev, need to regear or reclutch?

[conter4x4]

So I'm fixing to throw a 154 xp skid in my 07 and I was curious if anyone has had to regear or reset the clutch. I know I'll need the 440 8th drivers just wondering about gearing.

Also has anyone had any good luck/bad luck with the wrp seats?

I put an 08 154 skid and track in my 04. Not sure what your stock drivers are, but I went from 10 tooth to 8 tooth and didn't have to regear/reclutch.

Alright cool. Can't wait to get this swapped. If on the snow would come sooner!!!

i put the 154"XP track on my 04summit 151" rails with offset axle/big wheels. i used avid 8tooth drivers.

IMO with how light that track was i could have geared up from 19/45 to 19/43.

It will depend on what size track you had before doing the swap. If your tracks are not comparable in size though it'll will be off. The weight of track will be a factor as well.

Yes....

Variables...

Current clutching and gear?

Rider weight and elevation?

Other mods?

Call if you want a solid baseline set up...BJ

Once you drop your old skid you'll see a bracket for the front mount points. There's two holes, the front ones are already drilled out and are the stock location. I drilled out the back holes and used them. For the rear I drilled out the front holes and used them.

I went from a 144 to a 154 and it was well worth it. Taller paddles, longer track loved that sled.

Well, ended up getting the skid put in. Tried leaving the stock front holes alone put the skid in and the rear didn't even come close. Even with smitty's style drop bracket. Pulled the skid back out ended up drilling out the welds on the spacer plates in the front bracket. Moved it an inch down and an inch back. Nice thing is the two holes in the spacer are an inch apart. Rivited the spacer in the new location and tmounted the skid up. Bam only a small bit of cussing and got the back mounted. Now just waiting on snow.
