Anybody know where to get track clips for a stock 600sx track? Can't seem to find them except from a dealer at about $2.75 a piece. I need about 50 of them.
 
I just ordered the camoplast stock clips from denniskirk I think they were $11 for a package of 10.
 
I'm not sure if I need guided or flat. It looks like there are both on my track but not in any particular sequence. Maybe the guides are broken off on some? Do the stock tracks usually have bith types or are they all one or the other?
 
This is what I learned about changing track clips. Either do them all or replace the track. I was mising about 15 clips when I noticed this damge to the rail. Replaced the missing and broken ones. 300 miles later I had more missing and a tore up track. I even had a clip embedded in the exchanger protector.
A little welding and grinding and the rail was good to go

Some of the aftermarket cheaper clips are "soft" and do not last as long as the original equipment type. You can tell when you put them on, they bend much easier.

The problem was that the slides wore to nothing and then the clips were running against the rails which wore the clips and the track out.
I have replaced many track clips on a lot of sleds over the years and have never replaced a full set. With no problems.

New slides put on in the begining of the year . This happened after a 300 mile ride in fresh snow on the trails. Every time I went out more clips would break and fall off. I was replacing all mising,broken or cracked clips. Was getting to the point that a new track would be cheaper than replaceing all the clips.
 
If all those clips came off that quickly and it wore out a new set of slides and it wrecked the track, something was definately wrong. Track too tight?

I hear ya. Ive recliped 2 tracks now and they never looked like that. Too tight maybe? Or what daman said!!! :dunno:
 
I'm with stein on this one. I bought the tool, clips, and wasted an afternoon checking and replacing clips. Theres no way to keep track of which ones have or havnt been changed. Every ride resulted in a few more lost clips. At 7k my track shredded into pieces all over the trail=end of problem. I replaced it with a ripsaw.
