kind of a clunk or somthing in the skid?

[Fast_Eddy]

I have not had alot of snow to ride in and i only have like 5 miles on it.. but i seemed to have noticed kinda a clunk coming from the skid when it would grip and take off.. any ideas what this is? is it normal?

I'm guessing a loose nut behind the handlebars!!! lol!

Maybe your track is slipping!?

Check your track tension!

I thought I heard the same thing moving my GT in the garage when I picked it up last week, but I have not had a chance to drive mine yet.

 

[Fast_Eddy]

lol.. well my track is good and the nut behind the handle bars is tight at the moment I did not really get to use/hear it enough to have a better idea whats going on. Just wondered if anyone has though.

Is your track ratcheting?

Well i have not driven the gt or any of the new sleds,just the protos and none of them did any klunking,i would be checking stuff out for sure,and thanks for the pics,and your web site is awsome.

Is your track ratcheting?

That would be my bet.....watch your tracks and re-adjust for at least breakin period.

After they stretch out they stop.

nope dont think so.

I didnt notice any clunking on my GT last night... Only thing i would think would make noise is the track ratcheting..

Check for loose bolts etc..

I NOTICED THE SAME THING ON MY ATTAK WHEN PLAYING AROUND IN THE GRASS-CHECKED TRACK TENSION AND IT SEEMED O.K. FIGURED I WOULD WAIT FOR SNOW TO SEE IF IT CHANGES, DOES SOUND LIKE RATCHETING THOUGH.

 

[BA APEX]

sounds like ratcheting but you should feel it if i was.

 

[APEX 21]

Thats what my 03 RX-1 did on grip. I havent tried the Apex yet. Probably a ratchet, just once or twice on hard acceleration????

 

[Fast_Eddy]

yeah it did it on a acceleration. If it was ratcheting wouldnt it do it more then onece? only one lil noise and thats it.

Clunking noise

My guess is that it is the coupling mechanism in the skid. I would suspect it is normal and nothing to be worried about.
