Do I need a new track?

[bobback]

Not all middle windows look like this, but a handful do. I believe whatever caused this is gone. Sled is a 2024 with 500 miles.

Another member recommended e6000. Guess will try that and see what happens.

Or should I just get new track for peace of mind? Not sure if these happened to get worse in the back 40 that my track could come off?

Track ratchet much?

As far as I know - no. What happens if it ratchets?

Sled is a 2024 with only 500 miles.

I'm assuming when the track ratchets and a center extrovert driver is allowed the only contact with the center window of the track it would cause similar damage to what you are showing.
Maybe I'm missing something, but in that picture it appears that there is a bit of sage between the track and the bottom of the hyfax. If so, the track may be loose at idle. Thus, leading to track ratchet and possible center window damage.

I don't think any 24 sleds use a center driver. Polaris ditched that after the 21 2.75 disaster. I'm guessing ice built on on the top of the rear track shock and that.

I’m guessing that is what happened. Should warranty cover this? If not, am I supposed to check for ice here every 30 minutes? Every hour? Or how often?

I don't think you'll be able to get it warrantied , but I also don't think it's anything other than a fluke. I wouldn't be afraid to run that track that way.

You don’t need a new track, but need to know what’s causing it and fix it. Says this is on a 24’? What drivers are in the driveshaft? Usually that’s from the center drive ratcheting, but a 24’ shouldn’t have center drive.

I wouldn't be scared of that track had the happen to my 2013 front track shock bolt fell out but look the same never bothered

Yes on a 24' and correct, no center drive. Have no idea what caused it as nothing really touches those center holes. Top of front shock is a good half inch from the track. Same with top of rear shock.

Random foreign object likely got into skid and did a burnout below a shock or cross shaft would be my guess.

Run it. Definately fine.
