I find on here if you give your opinion you need to give scientific facts with an engendered stamp of approval unless your an ambassador then what ever you say is the gospel.. I’ve done hyvo conversions on lots of boosted cats and yamahas and have very good luck with them .
G4 or G5 turbo with HYVO? Just curious, I feel there is a common Denominator here on the G5.[emoji6]
If a explanation is needed, Here is my ramblings from a internet nobody.
Unfortunately from what I’m seeing of the design, the top sprocket is machined down to accommodate the narrower chain, look at the pic the OP showed. I have seen that machined sprocket when I popped the cap on a shredder chaincase.
I personally cannot see how a 11W chain will be stronger than a 13W Hyvo setup. IMO Stronger than the 23 Rexnord silent chain yes.
The true 100% fact is, the one piece driveshaft and HYVO have been around for decades.

They don’t give two squirts of cold piss if one of us get hurt they have our money in the bank . Funny in 08 my summit got a recall for the track drive shaft for the reason they were scared it would brake and lock up the track . Now I paid 2/3 more for my 23 and repairs are on me ?
I think that is RA on the right that came in the lynx sleds, not the standard Rexnord that game in the g5 summits
You are correct, that Is a RA chain and the top sprocket is on the table behind it.
With the RA chain and sprockets coming(so they say) in all the 24' turbos, has me wondering how many failures have they have had on the lynx turbo sleds? The strap thickness does look thicker on the center 9 straps and the outer straps look way to thin for my liking.
Yes you are correct ?

If I were you I would put an MVM belt drive on it and never have to worry about it again
We have nothing but problems with the mvm belt drives. I do not suggest them on a skidoo if you are any kind of an aggressive rider.
[emoji1787] I love how we have evolved into two groups aggressive riders and just riders. I think a more accurate description would be guys who know how to look after there sleds and guys who don’t do anything but mash the flipper to the bars and go to the bar after. While the non aggressive rider looks after his sled. But I suppose that wouldn’t boost the ego of the “aggressive” rider…

They were weren't jumping, the guy barely left the ground in 2-3 feet of powder. Anyway, that pic of the aurora vs hypo looks interesting. Even though the hypo has 2 more links, the links in the aurora look much beefier. IDK, if it was me buying a chain, Id go with what has worked and not failed the last two years, the Hyvo.

Then you must not be installing it correctly or having the correct tension. I’m 250 pounds with all my gear and ride super aggressive and have never had one issue with my MVM belt on a 2022 Skidoo Freeride 154” Turbski! 1100 miles on the same belt.

Let me guess…. you are an aggressive rider because you do 70 miles an hour up the trail!!! I would like to know your definition of aggressive rider???
“Aggressive” means tailgating other sleds and constantly laying on the horn.
I’m not worried about anything, I did a fix to my sled, thats not something that interests me.
