MAXIMIZING DRIVE TRACK LIFE

Off-trail riding

Avoid off-trail riding until there is sufficient snow

coverage. It generally takes several feet of snow to

provide a good overall base to properly cover

debris, such as rocks, logs, etc. If snow coverage is

not sufficient, stay on trails to avoid impact damage

to the drive track.

Studded track

In general, track life will be shortened when studs

are installed. Drilling stud holes into the drive track

will cut the internal fibers, which weakens the track.

Avoid spinning the drive track. Studs may catch on

an object and pull out of the track, leaving tears and

damage around the already weakened area. To

minimize possible damage, consult your stud man-

ufacturer for installation and stud pattern recom-

Yamaha does not recommend track studding.
