Mine does the same with 3" track and 7 tooth drivers. Its not to worry about. you may want to run the track a little tighter.
As I said and sledhead did too this is "normal" for this track. I don't tighten my track and it hasn't gotten worse or ratcheted at all. Don't tighten beyond specs, the noise won't go away it is just the sound of millions of snowflakes crying out in agony.![]()

I also have experienced this clicking sound on my '13 XM 163 track. I read the manuel and adjusted both the track tension and alignment to the correct specs and found that this resolved the clicking sound and got rid of any and all vibrations from track. With only a little over 100 miles on sled, good for now but will continue to monitor both my track and this thread to see how you all are making out on this issue.
ROKRIG; Yes the SLP Tension tool. Its a handy unit for all tensioning needs. It took me two rides to get it diale in/to spec, becuase at first i just adjusted track tension took a ride and then performed alignment adjust. IMO the alignment is the key to the clicking.
I had the same clicking issue
Took her in for the 10 hour service .. they adjusted my track, clicking is gone but now I have a nasty vibration, I can totally feel it in my running boards
guess i'll make a call tomorrow![]()
Split front arm with one limiter strap.(not sure if they come with just one)(allowing the one rail to hit hard on the clips when not under load) Rear arm that pivots 2 degrees.(can allow the track to rub on the rear tunnel) A track that bends on the outside, and the paddles are not angled in.(possibly rubbing the tunnel or rivets)
I thought there was minimal room in the tunnel for the system they had, I am not surprised that something is rubbing or clicking. My XP did and it was a fixed suspension. What is it going to do when the suspension is getting worn out a little.
I am not bashing the system, hope it works and I will buy one next year. Just some thoughts that crossed my mind on a first year design.
Maybe the tension was adjusted but maybe the alignment is off.
how do you check / set alignment ?
