any issues with the new 2024 G5s that should be addressed?

[Rick E]

My son and step-son each bought new 2024 non-tubo 850s with 154" tracks.
My son-in-law just bought a new 2024 turbo 850 154".

I have seen a few postings regarding lower drive shaft chain case side bearing issues.
I've also seen a few posting about the upper tunnel wheels support bushings failing and a kit that eliminates the issue.

What are some of the things that should be looked into?
Have these issues been taken care of on the 2024s?

thanks in advance.

As far as the chain case, we will see how this season goes.

Yes the upper rear suspension mount is still an issue. I will be upgrading mine to aluminum when I get mine.

They will snap if they are side loaded too much.

so there’s aluminum bushings to alleviate the issue?

Yes there are options available from the aftermarket.

The venting is a terrible design gets broken easy and the ice build up in the tunnel is crazy compared to other brands which also causes an annoying vibration had me stopping and checking my skid a few times last year only to find ice build up and no real issue. Also the rails are tin cans. Pretty minor overall but all annoying
