Installing Ice Scratchers on a GEN 5 Ski-Doo Platform | Step-by-Step Guide

[@sunsettrailrider]

These are the best scratchers on the market IMO. I’ve tried them all, and these are by far the best ones! 🤙🏼

[@Outdoor_Hobby_Guy]

I agree! Thanks for watching and commenting 😊

[@sunsettrailrider]

@@Outdoor_Hobby_Guy no problem, great channel!

Great vid! I just installed a set of these and had some extra info if its helpful. 1. The package comes with a spacer that you should install on the right scratcher between the bolt head and the bushing and sleeve that carries the spring. The end of that bolt protrudes too much without it and may hit idler wheel when skid is in motion. 2. The left side mounts very differently because of the bracket for Smart Shocks on that side. There is a hole for the scratcher bolt and spring tang to the left of the skid suspension bolt. 3. Dont rely on locktight. Torque the bolts in you can.

Thanks for watching! Also thank you for taking the time to share with the community! Much appreciated. I didn’t have those spacers gonna contact brp dealer. Thanks for adding about the smart shocks!

@@Outdoor_Hobby_Guy You've got the spacers. They're like thick washers. They're in the same bag as the carbide tips. BRP instructions are horrible. Lol. Thanks for the content again!

[@Outdoor_Hobby_Guy]

Oh! I’ll have another look

The 2024 grand touring has an additional support bracket inside the tunnel and the hanger dosnt sit flush. No mention of how to handle this on skidoos instructions

[@Outdoor_Hobby_Guy]

Hey Troy… thanks for watching. There should be an extension in the box. If not please send me an in email with photo. I’ll find the answer for you.

Great Job ! Thanks

[@Outdoor_Hobby_Guy]

Thanks for watching 😊. I forgot to mention and show it’s the same procedure to install the other side. GL on your install.

[@troylongtin5417]

Is there suppose to be some play on the bushing where the bolt attached the scratcher. Mine moves freely on the bushing

[@Outdoor_Hobby_Guy]

Yes there is a leave there. It should move as per the video

If a Machine Had Proper Cooling from the factory.... You Wouldn't need ice Scratchers. That's My opinion and Why I haven't switched to ski Doo yet.

[@Outdoor_Hobby_Guy]

I some what agree! Thanks for watching 😊. What do you ride?

[@sunsettrailrider]

Every sled will overheat or run hot on hard pack and in icy conditions. Studs help a bit, but these scratchers kick up a lot of snow/ice which does infact bring your operating temps down in to normal or just above normal range.
