'17 RMK Pro 800 155" roughly 500 miles, Silber turbo @ 5psi, and running IS turbo clutch set up.
Last week, was riding the trail up to the play areas, just as I got to the play area, I felt my sled hesitate (almost like as if I hit neutral while riding a dirt bike). WTF, so I open up the exhaust side panel to ensure the QD belt is okay, which it is.
Open up the clutch side panel, notice the jam nut is MIA, and the belt deflection screw is backed almost all the way out.
WTF, how does this sheer off like this? I could understand if I over torqued it while tightening and it snapped, but this happened while I was riding!
Either way, no big deal, there was only like 4+ feet of fresh pow, and I had to limp back to the truck (which was also very interesting)
Stopped by the dealer on the way back home and picked up a new screw/jam nut. Install and adjust the belt deflection to spec... Fast forward to yesterday...deep day again, pull a couple climbs, and hear the belt squealing when stopped. Check the clutches, and the screw/nut backed out. Snug it up, and 15 mins later, I pop a belt...the clutches are on fire and the ****ing screw/nut have worked their way out again. I torqued that bitch down and no matter what, it would work its way out again! WTF! happened 5-6 times in a few hours. Decided to call it a day.
So, should I just apply some blue loctite on the screw? It seems no matter how tight I get the jam nut, it backs out.
