Chain case blew apart. should I change gearing?

My chaincase self destructed in my 2012 pro rmk 800 155. Should I change the gearing or is stock as good as it gets?

If you don't mind me asking, how does a chain case self destruct?

The bottom gear exploded into about 50 pieces and destroyed the case.

i've seen a few 11's that didn't have more than just a couple of ounces of fluid from the factory, supposed to have 9 ounces...

Personally I think the stock gearing is as good as it gets for my riding style. Unless you do a lot of lake racing or something I cant imagine wanting to change much or at all.

I'm going 19 up top...

Running a 19T up top, Happy with it in the NW

19 on top here also, works great

If you run a 19 top I like going to a 43 bottom to take some dogleg out of the chain, really does not change ratio much with 1 extra tooth on bottom. Its a good combo

Just to throw it out there remember to check chain tension, was out only 2 weekends on my new Pro and it was out almost 2 full turns.
