They use all those sizes to save weight. It's just good engineering.

Sometimes you can take a thin knife pull the seals out of those bearings and pack them with low temp synthetic

If you don't lift sled the rear bolts and shaft have tension in them and they don't spin the shaft as easy, making it way easier❄🗻❄

They must use some shit bearings on them sleds.. 600 miles or not they shouldn't be shot.. I had sleds with 5000-10000 miles on them with high speed RR grade miles on them and never replaced one idler wheel bearing!

Hey @powermodz do you have the part numbers to those bearings? Just pulled my skid out of my 17 axys rmk and found this video to be super helpful. Both sets of bearings are smoked!

I know you are hard on your sleds, but this is one of the reasons I would never buy a Polaris. I had less corrosion and better bearings on a skid I got for free that sat outside for 3+ years out of a 1999 Arctic Cat zr500.

It's sad to see all of those bearings being out on an expensive machine with only 600 miles. Did you replace them with factory bearings or try to find better ones? Great video tho, thank you

I'm presently replacing the driveshaft bearings of a 2013 Indy 600 SP and that pully drive side bearing is the crappiest piece of junk I've ever encountered in a 40 year General Machinist career specializing in high speed production machinery repair/maintenance.

Louie I was sledding in West Yellowstone I heard a loud bang/pop and I couldn't move. So I looked underneath and my driveshaft had broken at the clutch and dropped down on that side. Basically, how screwed am I? Do I part out the sled? Do I try to repair it? Or do I put a match to it and go buy an alpha one or a summit?

You need to change bearings quite often but 90% of all snowmobile owners are idiots and don't change it until nothing is left, 10% are taking care of the machine and replace it. Small cost anyway...
