2013 pro rmk track hitting tunnel

[logan1080]

I have a 2013 pro rmk 155". It now has 285 miles on it, this is my first sled. Today i noticed that when going through soft fresh snow and digging down and hitting hard snow there is a loud clunking noise and the sled vibrates for a second, it also happens when getting airborn and landing with the throttle still on. My buddies 2013 assault and 2011 arctic cat hcr were apparently were doing this too. Is this the track hitting the tunnel? Is it because the track tension is out? It sounds hard on things, don't want to wreck a qd belt or anything else because of it. Never heard the noise until today.

I would guess you are ratcheting the track. You probably need to tighten it up a little. I have to run mine stupid tight to keep it from ratcheting.

Tighten your track its ratcheting on your drivers because its too loose.

with such few miles you should be checking track tention nearly every ride out untill it stops stretching, they stretch like crazy at first then eventually settle out.

Then tend to rachet more so when sidehilling FWIW.
