You might want to have them check your exhaust shield above the track and front torque arm in your rear suspension for cracks. Both of mine did and were repaired under warranty. I put a ripsaw on when they replaced the torque arm, only cost me an hour of labor to do the track. The torque arm looks like the same one my SRX had and that one cracked too :!:

Had my track replaced by Them last year very pleased with the service. I had to replace mine though due to a torn stud.
How much time labor did they quote you.

no im not,im just gonna due the basic easy upgrades.for the most part im done with the few upgrades ive done allready (simmons skis,stabilizer links , rip saw track) after reading everything on this site ,i realize that this sport is just like having a customized harley davidson (it never ends) my plan is to keep this sled for another year or two and then buy a new one and let my wife have this one. Also i just want to add thanks to everyone on here for all the info that is available.you guys are the "funk and wagnall" of the snow mobile world.THANKS

Have them check the bearings on both the PTO side, and in the chaincase. I changed them both, as they were a bit sloppy after 1500 miles. They'll have it apart already, so, make sure they check them-if in doubt, change 'em. It's alot easier, and cheaper to do it now, rather than 90 miles from nowhere. BTW, if you're interested, the part number for the ripsaw that's already pre drilled for studs (144) is 9955 (121"), and, its available.

If you ride off trail, and in deep snow, I'd be installing extrovert drivers too.

I didn't see the straight rate springs on your list. Highly recommend this since my inside ski lift is now gone. I did the Yamaha 1.9kg, but you go to the 2.1kg if you ride agressive. I did not notice a harsher ride with the 1.9kg springs.

Angle,
The predrilled tracks are 144 down the center, no stud holes outside the rails. Also, if you go this route, I'd avoid putting studs in the center two holes, unless you want to run the track tight. Might keep you from ripping the heat shield up when the track balloons. Also, you need to use the Woody's double backer plates, as the track was predrilled to match them.
