Beware of Team industries clutch!

I had a very unfortunate experience with Team industries last week. I want to share my experience with everyone in hopes it can save some one from the same outcome. I had over 12k invested in an awesome Can am Maverick setup. Unfortunatly a team clutch was part of my upgrades and after only 100 miles. (Stock clutch lasted 500 miles and was perfect when I did the supposid uprade) The Team industries cluth absolutly exploded and shot a ramp ( with the nut and bolt) through the plastics and stuck in the back of the drivers seat. If it would have been 3" higher this would have gone through the hole in the seat and stabbed me in the neck. Team industries states they only recommend their clutch for stock applications. (interesting as aerocharger includes them with their kit) Team also states that they offer no warrant on their products and it is on the consumer as this is a performance product. I even spoke with Mark the plant manager and he went as far as stating that they dont even have a warranty department. I asked him were the vm for prompt #2 went as it states warranty department on their greeting, he did not have an answer for me. After hours of debating with team industries so called warranty department they will not stand behind their product or do anything for me. When the clutch exploded it took out the motor and several other parts. I am now forced to sell my maverick in pieces due to my trust in team industries. Do your self a favor and spend the extra $ on the STM primary as it could cost you everything if you dont.

Redoing brush gaurd mount

I was working on the brush gaurd on my fourtrax 300 the other day and when putting it back together, one of the bolts sheared off. So I took the other bolt back out to inspect it, then proceeded to put the second bolt back in and it sheared off. what I want to know is how I can get these two out. I have been told to put a nut on the little bit that is sticking out and weld it on with a wire welder just to get it out. Will this work? What are your ideas? If I can’t get them out then I’m going to weld some flat stock on and move th mount forward about an inch.

Lesson Learned!

Hey guys…Just thought I’d share a lesson learned NEVER EVER USE ANYTHING OTHER THAN OEM OR DID CAM CHAINS!!!!!!!

Back when I Rebuilt the "Rhino" I purchased a DID chain to install…..At that time I also purchased an El cheapo ebay cam chain…It was to be an emergency chain…In the coarse of the rebuild I accidentally used the ebay chain!

Just today realized my mistake…..Chain is stretched WAY beyond spec…It also jumped a tooth! So I’m rippin it back apart to make sure everything is OK.

Again…OEM OR DID ONLY!!!

Hey Guys. My name is Matt. I am one of the owners of B&M Fabrications. We make aftermarket Snowmobile parts and are now diving into some Sportsman Protection as well. I was unable to find a "rules" section. I was looking to find out what the guidelines are for a company posting on here. Most of our forum posts are just to get feedback on our parts as well as show sneak peeks of new items going into production.

Thanks a ton!

transmission??? g1 outty

Got a 07 outty max. Was riding about 35-40 mph yesterday on the road and my back tires just locked up. And i slide to a stop. the bike never died. But when it finally came to a stop, I hit the gas and it wouldn’t go anywhere. I put it in reverse and it did just fine, back to high and it did just fine but it was making a noise like something was loose internal when it was rolling. So I parked it and we went and got the truck. When we got back to the bike I cranked it and it pulled on the trailer and when I got to the house off the trailer just fine. Help please! Keeping my finger crossed it’s an easy fix!
