Anyone ever have a track come apart on the inside??
- Thread starter mfatty
- Start date
Sometimes an idler bearing will lock up and drag on the track, the rubber get's hot and peel's off the belting
If the area is related to an idler area, might be the problem

Has it got billet wheels?
Maybe he's not running enough air pressure in the track

I had one of mine do that. Like big blisters all over the inside. Had a couple of freinds that also did the same. Late 90's doo tracks and a cat track. Water/snow would get between the layers of track and freeze and cause them to blister up. Wasn't anything we could do with them other than ride them til we didn't dare and replace them. I haven't seen this though on anything newer than 2000.
Bad idler wheel bearings are your cause. Seen it a bunch of times. Wears thin and then water does get in and freeze as well. Usually happens when the sliders are really worn and then idler wheel bearings go bad it just compounds the issue. I had a track like this, I put about 2000kms on it then changed it the following off season. Depends how bad the damage is.
I had a 98 summit that did that. I just carried a sharp knife and cut the blisters off. Looked like crap but ran fine.
