Abstract: A braking system for a snowmobile includes a track driveshaft and a splined spacer. The track driveshaft has an outer spline and is formed from a first material. The splined spacer has an inner spline and an outer spline. The inner spline of the splined spacer forms a splined connection with the outer spline of the track driveshaft such that the splined spacer is coaxially positioned about the track driveshaft. The outer spline of the splined spacer is configured to form a splined connection with an inner spline of a brake rotor. The splined spacer is formed from a second material that is different from the first material.

Abstract: A bearing hub is positioned within a drivetrain assembly of a snowmobile. The bearing hub includes a body and a bearing sleeve that is coupled to the body. The body has an upper connection rigidly coupled to the chassis of the snowmobile, an aft connection rigidly coupled to the chassis of the snowmobile, a lower connection rigidly coupled to a heat exchanger and an engine mount connection resiliently coupled to an engine mount to reduce vibration transfer from the engine to the bearing hub. The bearing sleeve has a bearing aperture that is configured to receive a bearing assembly therein. The the upper connection, the aft connection and the lower connection form a triangular support arrangement for the driven shaft. The driven shaft is rotatably coupled to the bearing sleeve by the bearing assembly.

Abstract: A powertrain for a snowmobile includes an engine, a gearbox input shaft receiving rotational energy from the engine and a reversible belt drive assembly coupled to the gearbox input shaft. The reversible belt drive assembly is switchable between a forward mode and a reverse mode and includes a pulley, a planetary gear system coaxial with the pulley and a selector collar assembly interposed between the pulley and the planetary gear system translatable between a first position to form a forward geartrain bypassing the planetary gear system in the forward mode and a second position to form a reverse geartrain including the planetary gear system in the reverse mode.

Abstract: A belt housing assembly includes a first shaft with a first bearing that is mounted in a fixed bearing retainer and a second shaft with a second bearing mounted in a rotatable eccentric bearing retainer. A center of the second bearing is offset from a center of the eccentric bearing retainer. A distance between the first shaft and the second shaft is adjustable by rotating the eccentric bearing retainer. A method of adjusting a distance between a first sprocket attached to a first shaft of a drivetrain operatively interconnecting an engine to a ground engagement member of an all-terrain vehicle via a drive belt interconnected with a second sprocket attached to a second shaft of the drivetrain is also provided.
