2004 skidoo summit himark x 159 track options

[moser08]

so i have a 2004 skidoo summit 800 himark x. i am wanting to get a new track and am wondering what kind of clearance i will have for lug size? (would like 2.5") it has a 159" , 2" inch lug track in rough shape on it . i was thinking maybe trying to get a 162" track to fit by either moving the suspension mounting back or a big wheel kit ????will this work???


thanks

I used a 162x16x2.5 Extreme with 7T drivers on 159 rails and big wheel kit. Awesome setup!!!

With seven tooth drivers what gearing did you run ??

My buddy runs that same set up with 19-47 gears. It vibrates and makes alot of noise but it works awesome!

I Just did this this year. Put a 162 2.5 3" pitcher on my 159. Fork out the money and buy avid 7t drivers, they don't vibrate and require no breakin time. I already had a 8" big wheeler on, but I had to make new extentions an inch and a half further back as I didn't want to move my skid. I also made 1.5" drop brackets for the rear mounting point because the track was just barely touching the top of the tunnel where the heat exchanger ends. It works great and I am running 19-43 gears. Havent come across another 800 yet that I can't destroy(the 827 + extras help as well)
Well worth it.

The best deal is to buy a new "take-off" 162x16x2.25 Maverick from someone who is going turbo on their new Yamaha. These tracks are good powder tracks on sleds less than 175hp. They don't hold up on 350hp turbo sleds hence, the bad press. My friend and I have run these for 3yrs now without problems. We ride 90% powder through the same terrain as everyone else with all lugs intact. You will need to change to 8 tooth 3.0 extrovert drivers which provide a bonus 5% lower final drive ratio and maintain stock clearance in the tunnel. You will need an 8" big-wheel kit to make a perfect fit on 159 rails. This 162 track is a few pounds lighter than your 159 so your clutching does not change. Total cost of conversion is less than $500.
