Try replacing your drive belt.
Sound like a freight train when cruising about 10mph. When lying next to the sled and the track moving slowly it sounds like it is in the drive cogs.
Really sounds like a clip catching the fronts of the hifax but don't see anything.

I'd bet everything on a loose heat exchanger protector. Track keeps slapping at it as it goes around. I was a victim once.
i had a clicking sound coming from my sled last year. I let it go because i couldn't figure it out. But when i was riding one day, i blew a wheel off the back. The wheel seperated from the bearing and the wheel flew off. After raplacing the wheel, the clicking sound went away. It was from the back wheel rubbing on the bearing.
Now I only have been riding sleds for about 3 years but I would have thought for sure that changing the drive belt was not the fix. The sound was coming from under the sled. I looked at the belt and it looks like somebody held the gas wide open with the brake on. There were severly worns spots on the belt in the same spot on both sides.
I changed the belt and sure enough problem is fixed.
Thanks alot for all your help.

I watched a buddy ruin a belt trying to pull out his girl friend's sled she had stuffed into a ditch.

The girlfriend did the exact same thing on her new z570, Probley the same day she hit the only rock in Alberta, and beat up the bottom belly and bumper with only 200kms on the sled. LOL
