Just a quick question, did any one else have a problem last season with your track literally pealing lugs off. 
Pro track.
- Thread starter skidoo2012
- Start date
Serious question:
Do you cross a lot of roads? The kind where you wait for traffic to pass, goose the gas and spin the track on the icy shoulder before it grabs the pavement.
Either that or a lot of WFO climbing on thin snow over rocky ground.
It's been my experience that 99.99% of track damage is rider induced--you get it spinning then hit something harder/stronger than the paddle rubber. You might have gotten a bad track that slipped through quality control but odds are your torn lugs are a result of a heavy thumb. That's not really surprising since most of us are happier at high RPM.
Not bagging on you, just saying.

well i only have 194 miles on it and only been rode in the deep snow. and ive never had a problem like this with any other of my sleds.
I had that problem... but it was from heat delamination from only a short time on hard pack at high speed.
I've been watching this forum for years and have not seen this as "problematic" for this track.

In the the first pic, you can see a gnaw mark on the next window bar below the missing lug. You ran over something and it modified the track. Only takes one "D-D-Ddddddt" in early season (bottomless) or skinny snow pack to remove lugs. I modded my track this way last year. It's a 163 so I have extra lugs to make up for the ones I removed.

is any of this covered under warranty?
