2009 850 timing chain replacement

I've got a 2009 850 sportsman that jumped time recently, the crank gear did not spin... chain is just stretched and the tensioner was maxed out.
I have the head out at the machine shop replacing the valves, pistons are fine. Is there a way to replace timing chain without splitting the case?

Extra Fuel

Any suggestions on carrying extra fuel? I'm hearing I can't expect more than 80 miles per tank on my 2018 Outlander 850XT Max. Looking at going 122 miles between gas stations on the MacGruder Corridor between Idaho and Montana.

Cargo rack for hitch weight considerations

Just bought my first Can Am! 2018 Outlander 850XT Max. I'm planning close to a 300 mile run trip this summer over the MacGruder Corridor and back. I have a cargo rack that slides into a 2" receiver hitch. If I strap it to the rest grab bar, how much can it hold? I'd like to carry 10 gallons of gas. I saw a video that said 100 lbs. on a truck or 50 lbs on an atv. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Secondary Clutch Spinning

2004 Ranger 500, should secondary clutch spin in neutral? Mine does, i've read mixed opinions on this. Idle is turned all the way down. I've been getting some intermittent grinding shifting into High gear that led me to pull clutch cover and observe this. I can actually stop secondary clutch spin by hand.

2018 Renegade 1000 10hr Break In Service

Who has done their first 10hr break in service on their Renegade? I called the dealer today and they wanted $350.00. I know that's stupid expensive. They will change oil, filter, front and rear diff fluids and gearbox fluid. Not sure what else. I figured I could do all that and use Amsoil fluid instead since their fluids are typically better than OEM fluid and most other synthetics. Anyhow what were you quoted and what did the dealer do aside from change fluids? I asked if they reflashed the ECU and they said no.

Also rode with a buddy this weekend that has a 2016 1000 XXC and he said his bike woke up after 10hours all of sudden. Mine has 5.5hrs right now. It's got plenty of power, but right now doesn't feel 27hp more powerful than my 08 Renegade 800 which was 62hp stock. He said he felt the same way until he passed 10hrs and it was like riding a different machine.
