Slider wear fix?

[bnsf205]

Tighten the limiter strap to keep the nose down if thats your preference and loosen the track to the point that it almost ratchets. Dipping in the snow to cool them down is part of riding.

Also temper the slides with a blow torch before they are installed on the machine helps them last longer.

I got 1400 miles out of my stock ones. I'm sure I could have gotten more. Had two trips were we rode in low to no snow conditons. 09' Phazer GT
