'06 RS venture track ratcheting

100 miles on sled blew my bogey wheels and track was ratcheting. Replaced bogey wheels and still track is ratcheting. Any ideas what would cause this?

Check track tension? Drive cogs o.k? Track cogs o.k?

You sure the track is ratcheting??

My RS Venture track did the same thing when it was new, it really stretches alot the first few hundred miles. I think the 144 inch track adds to the stretching process. Just keep tightening it as you put miles on it and it will finally find it's groove at least mine did.

I question whether the track is ratcheting as well.

Usually a track will ratchet under heavy acceleration or heavy braking and not at a certain speed.

Sounds to me that something is rubbing under there.

Did tightening the track help any?

the ratcheting feeling is on acceleration when first taking off found one stud that ripped thruw the track and that was hanging but was not hitting anything will take it for a test run tommorow

You better check your nuts!

I mean check the torque on the big nuts for your studs. Did you install them yourself? My understanding is that you need blue loctite for this application.

Also, tighten up your track.

i had the dealer install the studs and check them last night 150 out 171 needed to be tightend no locktite as of right know but from what i heard you can use green loctite with out even loosen the big nut's
