Well now that my Expert is done with breaking in, and after putting over 400 miles on it I figured I would report back on the iBackshift clutch kit.
I have been fortunate to ride in some really good snow this year at Seeley Lake, and Cooke City. I’m more than happy with the new Ski Doo Expert, and could not ask for anything more out of the clutching I got from Dynamo Joe at iBackshift.com.
From hearing how strong of a backshift his clutch kits had, and the name iBackshift I was concerned it would be to much for my liking. What I found was just what I was looking for! When coming down a steep slope one throttle blurb, and the clutch engaged so I was able to let the motor do the braking which gave great control descending the hills.
Climbing was also spot on. We were able to play in some pretty deep snow, but I purposely cleared the dash to watch the rpms on a number of climbs. Some straight up full throttle all the way and some on and off the throttle to see how fast the recovery was. I couldn’t ask for better results! When approaching the hill and giving it full throttle the tac jumped right to 7,800 rpm, and as speed picked up the rpms settled in right at 8,000. I had basically the same results when doing the on and off throttle test. Nothing gives more confidence when maneuvering around obstacles at part throttle than knowing when you nail it that the sled will plain jump up and go!
Going from Seeley Lake 6,500 ft. to Cooke City 9,500 I needed to change the weights in the clutch. Joe’s instructions were spot on for weight needed, and it was the easiest weight change of any clutch kit I have used. It literally only takes 5 minutes and you don’t have to remove your belt!
Watching Joe’s video on how to install his clutch kit was not only educational, but kinda comical too, it gave me the confidence and knowledge not only to do it, but a heads up on what tools I needed to make or acquire before starting the project.
In my opinion a clutch kit is the best bang for your buck of any of the options you can buy for your sled. The performance gains, and lack of belt dust tells me it’s doing a good job.
Manufactures try to make one size fits all, but we are not all the same size. Joe gets all the information required to customize a clutch kit just for you, such as what sled and year, what track and length, you’re riding weight, and what rpm engagement you would like.
So if you want to tap into the underutilized performance of your sled give Dynamo Joe a call at iBackshift.com. I know I’m glad I did!
