Do you have a kinky tunnel?

No but the last 2 (2011/2012- sure had them- done with that and for $150.00 bones - willing to give them a bounce or 2, maybe 3

Preventative is way cheaper then it is to repair the tunnel

We have seen it from impact, jumping and riding on a very rough road

The 2011's did not have the chaincase bonded to the bulkhead... I recommend HIGHLY doing this in Addition to these braces.

The 2012+ PRO RMK's and RMK's have the chaincase or QuickDrive™ bonded to the bulkhead from the factory. It adds a fair amount of wrinkle resistance!

OK - I am totally new to sleds....how do I do this "bonding"? I have a 2011 800 Pro RMK.

Bonding is gluing. On the newer sleds, industrial adhesive is being used to "bond" parts. Some parts are glued on your 11, but in 13 they really started gluing/bonding parts.

12' the chaincase was glued to the tunnel/bulkhead. 13 they went to the belt drive.

I just installed both FTX kits, the front and rear. As always, good products and good service.

Got the bonding is gluing part but, do I remove the chain case and reinstall? Type of glue recommended? Those types of questions.....
