97 sx 1" lug track won't fit any ideas?

[jmp2204]

.Ibought a 97 sx 2 years ago from a dealer near where i live and he threw in a 1" kimpex sno x track with the deal.being very busy the last couple years (little ones) i've only rode about 500 miles .this year in anticipation of getting back to doing some serious riding again i decided to install the track.well all was good til i went to rotate to tighten the set screws(bearing collar) the track would not move (heat exch protectors) got them off scrubs on the tunnel and the heat exchanger. this a 1" lug what now.i would also like to stud again sell track ,buy yamaha? 8 tooth what gearing ,sell sled buy apex ( j/k wife would have my head for being gone all the time)

I ran a 1.1 with studs on a 97 700 sx, w/ no rubs at all. Measure the track to be sure it is a 1 inch. Maxdlx

the track lug measures 1" total thickness of track belt and lug 1 1/4" i can take some pics tommorrow night

whats the model # of the track.you probally just have to trim the area by the protectors.

well gentle, i f ed up ! the heat exchanger protecters had to come off(paddle goes accross the track holes at 1" however while rotating back and forth i did not notice a bit of a kink in the track (from being rolled up) i rotated to another area of the track and it clears.For some reason this dawned on me this morning before i went to work ,so i went and looked and tada clearance(not alot though) .thanks for all your help! now i need to put the suspension in

I put a 1.25 snowcross kimpex on my 98 srx...no troubles, besides being a pain in the butt to install.
It's close, but not touching.

jmp hows that track ride man? im thinking of gettin a 1.5 on mine... keep gettin stuck in powder with the stock track haha

 

[jmp2204]

i havn't had it out yet ,i'll let you know when i do .i think i would much rather have the original track on this ith studs as i ride mainly hard pack trails.

1.25" ripsaw track is the way to go...have it on my sxr and love it...great on the hard packed, and very decent in the loose stuff...you'll notice a huge diff from stock track
