Got alot of negative feed back?
Maybe the chain doesn't double over, but rather the chain jumps the gear teeth. I'm still positive this is what happened on my sled. I changed the delaminated rear wheels, the track was still ratcheting and was tight. I had minimal deflection. The track would still ratchet under super heavy load. I installed the anti-stab kit and I rechecked my gears and chain, they were good... again! Then the ratcheting started again under heavy load. I changed the chain and gears and installed the OSP manual tensioner. Samething. This year I bought a Camo Extreme and Avid drivers. Not running the track nearly as tight and I've had no probs. I still believe that if I left the auto tensioner in there, the ratcheting drivers would slack the chain off enough that the auto tensioner, before it could take up the slack, would explode! When I went to change the chain and gears, I removed the cover, just touched the tensioner with my index finger and it fell out? I've done a sh!t ton of work and spent way more than I was anticipating on my 2012 M1100... but I still love my sled! It rips. This is just my experience, I just want to let people know, maybe they can save some money and a few painfull steps in enjoying their ride that much more. Peace guys, Ben.
