clutch cover guard

[jordon]

wondering if anyone with a 16 rmk is having the same issue as me, so my clutch cover guard keeps bending in the same place every time and it ends up hitting my clutches. I've only had the sled 1 winter and I've replaced the guard now will be the third time. wondering if its the oil tank weight sitting on it? and is there a stronger one i could put on to resolve this problem? thanks

Never heard of that before.

Never heard of that before.

Me either. Check for breaks in the frame such as over structure.

Here's some pictures to show you what it's doing it's only got 500 miles on it and I've brought it in 2 times to the dealer I bought it from and they have no idea why it would do this

There has to be some over structure issues as we have tipped over and rolled over our machines more times than I care to count and never had an issue. Is it possible there has been a steering shaft or roll over accident that may have cracked the top of the structure where the steering post connects? Pull the plastics off and look around and take pictures and post them here>

Didn't see any cracks or bends or anything like that is this what you wanted me to take pictures of?

A definite kink in the middle outside.

Since the clutch cover has no problems that I've ever heard of??
Has to be something making it bend at that point?
How about the two attach points of cover? Is the front of attach cover point bent back ( just over a arms) forcing it?
