07 attack eating hyrax- help needed

[lady owned]

I have an 07 Attak that I just did some upgrading on and have developed a new hyfax issue.

New upgrades include anti ratchet drivers from Wahl Bros, 1.35 Cobra track, hygear revalve and 7.0 kg Yamaha. I had put new hyfax on about 200 miles after the upgrades and presumably after the new drivers and track were broke in.

On the first day of riding I could feel and smell my hyfax so I loosened the track several times thinking it was too tight. After about 50 miles the hyfax were pretty much gone. I looked everything over and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. I got hosed for some UP hyfax and put new ones on before riding the next day. Started with the same issues the next morning so I tightened my transfer rod thinking it was putting more pressure on the rails because it was transferring too much. This helped but I still had issues and ended up burning those hyfax after 212 miles.

Any suggestions? The new track has every window open but there was a lot of snow on the trail so lube should not have been the issue.

Thanks for any help you can give!

Get the new dupont sliders they are supposed to last a long time .

What track did u put in. Where are they wear.

Mine wears them down quick as well. I have the front wheel kit too. They wear in the middle of the rails.
If there isn't a lot of snow they'll go quick. You can smell them burning and the track clips are hot to touch. I cut the windows out and I swear they burn down faster. I never had them wear so fast and I have owned the machine for 10k miles.
I think they wear down to point fast then stay there a while.

I put the cobra 1.35 track on. They are wearing from the front wheels all the wall to front of the rear wheels. When I tightened the transfer rod the wear seemed more uniform. In my simple mind I was thinking that must have distributed the pressure more evenly? I have had this sled since new and not had this problem before the upgrades.

Do you think this is simply a wheel issue?

Larger wheels or the Pioneer wheel lowering kit should help.

I have the exact same set up EXCEPT I also installed the pioneer kit at the same time. I noticed no differance from stock to now with wear. Way over 1000 mile this year, and had a few hundred on same hyfax last year.still like 17mm left on hyfax. Yes mine is a 07 attak gt with cobra track, wahl drivers, oh and an anti stab kit up front. So I did add the anti stab kit plus the pioneer kit at the same time as all the other mods
