LIFE MEMBER ONLY ONCE!!!
Now that I have my 7.5 rear wheels installed and the over sized idler wheels installed I really wonder what tension my track should be set up at.The FRA is set at the softest mode. The limiter strap threads are set up at approx 1/2" past the threaded plate that they go through.My middle shock is set up at minimum pressure.I read that what Yamaha says about track tension,their specs are actually to tight. I read that possibly at 16 lbs pull on the track,I should have nearly 1 1/4" space. With no pull the space is about 1 inch.That still feels tight to me.If I set the track at 1 1/4" sag by it self,it should be ok. But put the 16 lb pull to it and I get abould 1 3/4" gap.A friend of the family who races sleds told me to loosen the track a fair amount and then drive it hard to see if it ratchets,if so tighten a bit and go again and so forth until the ratcheting stops.Well do I set the track up very loose first,like maybe a 1 1/2" sag and go from there.There must be a rule of thumb on this one. Does somebody know. What have you guys done for track tension,I am curious. Thanks.
