New track, break in?

[norwegian]

I installed a new track last summer. Do I have to break it in before attempting WOT runs?
thanks.

If there is 1/2 the snow (in Norway) that we have here he has more than enough to ride

I got stuck on the lake this weekend (3 ft deep powder over ice)... after that I stuck to riding in tracks made my machines with longer tracks

Well, it's not too late, this is taken on sunday, screenshot from my helmet cam. Playing with the MM.

I've never done anything special after installing a new track other than watching tension/alignment and making adjustments. If you're replacing slides too birnishing/ heat cycling them seems to help extend thier life.

Seems to me riding it like you normally would, or even harder (i.e. multiple WOTs) should help strech it more thus requiring only one, maybe two adjustments.

I've swapped 5 tracks on my sleds over the years (all studded) as well as a few others and never gave it much thought.

Perhaps the track mfg. has some recommendations?

Good thinking with the track manufacturer. It's a camoplast.

I'll just have to tighten it when I have a new shaft.

Thanks
