Interesting picture for sure. It is important to have those cover bolts not be oily when setting torque.

It is important to torque them as well as that keeps towers from being hammered (spread) due to not being constrained.
bolts were dry, I went to use my little 3/8 impact to remove the bolts but a few didn't even get a single impact action, just spun them up and out. I had 70km on that clutch. Torque is important for sure its all about clamping force. And I always use blue loctite, I call it liquid insurance lol.

put 140 miles on my adapt this weekend. its on a 18 mtn cat with ssi pipe y pipe and a can im running the 61 gram weights (i think there 62 grams with bushings) and i was running 7750 at around 10,000ft. it acted exactly like my team so i'm happy about that. I didnt put the weight ring on it so should be around 2lbs lighter than the team with the ring. Hard to say if it was snappier or not but i dont have anything bad to say about it. I'll throw some 60 gram weights in it to get the rpm up and go from there.

which spring is in yours? if its the 85/225 try switching up to the 85/255 before doing weights as it would be a cheaper option.

I am running 58 grams stock cat weights in my adapt with the 85/255 and spinning spot on @ 8350 with my Bikeman single and Y which is the RPM it's called for to spin at.
I tried the 60's and was to low 82000.. I run at 10,000'

Trying to figure out the snypr weights from Bikeman at this high elevation with not to much success so far above 9,000'

Not looking much better for the adapt. She goes at about the 3:30 mark in the video.
I expected it.
There were some exploding on the test sleds, just like Polaris' new P22.

I think the only reason we haven't seen the P22 carnage is because they are still shipping them to the customer. Wait till next January. Doo will probably have the only reliable primary.

It sucks.

Just lovely- Makes the rest of us say WTF???
I doubt those that went to the adapt from the team before blowing the team apart will have any kind a warranty on the Adapt.

Yeah, I’ve seen some reports of p22s having issues. Even seen a few of the ol tried and true p85 on the na sleds snapping in half this year. I wonder if these roller bearing side x side clutches just can’t handle the load a sled puts on the drive train.

A buddy had his adapt break at 70mi. Metal just snapped off right at the clutch weight bushing pin. Looks like weak metal
