Condition The Track During Off-Season StorageĪpplying silicone spray to the inner and outer surfaces of the track before storage keeps the rubber from drying out over time. ![]() Slider inserts are inexpensive, so keep an eye on them and replace when they have worn down to the tolerance as suggested by the sled manufacturer. When the plastic wear strips become worn down beyond the proper tolerances, damage can start to occur on the clips, slide rails and the track itself. Replaceable slide rail surfaces provide a buffer between the track and the suspension slide rails. While sliders technically aren’t part of the track, if they are worn down, the track will eventually bear the brunt of the damage. Consult your owners’ manual for the correct track tension. A track that is too loose or too tight can lead to expensive damage. It is also a great idea to periodically check tension during the season. Tie a note to your handlebars as a reminder to restore the correct tension before venturing off on your first ride of the next season. The logic behind this is that relieving some track tension can prevent tiny splits in the rubber. Remove Tension During StorageĪnother good off-season practice is to back-off some tension on the track. Check the condition of these clips on a frequent basis and have any loose or damaged clips repaired immediately. Without these metal clips, the drive cogs can tear the rubber track and do irreparable damage. Track clips are the steel inserts on a snowmobile track that mate with the drive sprockets. There are numerous aftermarket snowmobile lifts that are very easy on your back. During long-term, off-season storage, the track should be elevated to keep moisture from forming under track which can promote degradation and rotting over time. The reason for this is to keep the track from freezing to the ground. Most all seasoned snowmobilers prop their track off of the ground after every ride. ![]() ![]() Auto Cleaning Products, Degreaser and Carb Cleaner.Shock Therapy Suspension Fluid #5 Light (STL), #10 Medium (STM).Synthetic Multi-Vehicle Power Steering Fluid (PSF). ![]()
