Solution to the Clutch Heat problem?

[Ace Freely]

Just gear down...heat gone, belts last.

All BRP mountain sleds are insanely low geared from factory, and I even think that might be a piece of the problem!!! Slippage in the secondary close to full shift is probably massive.

Lower gearing will lessen the forces on the clutch system but it is a band aid at best. There shouldn't be any need to go much below 2.0 ratio. (and bottoming the secondary out will result in instant belt detonation)

Slap a 19 tooth top gear in the g4 and all your problems will disappear. Cheapest bestest $60 fix in all of sled history.

Water pitted your alum taper?
Is that even possible?
Seems like if this was the case that your belt would have been slipping?


Has anyone simply geared these down at all?

Yes. It is the fix of all fixes. Cheap too!
