Slider wear?

[Motorhead]

Sled has around 5600 miles on it.

Had Dupont’s put on by dealer at about 1100 miles. Sled was in for my bad fuel mileage problem at the time and got a call from dealer saying it needed slides and they had Dupont’s for a good price. 15% off, so for 60 something a piece I said yes! They show no wear. Price has gone up a lot on Dupont’s this season!

Sidewinder XTX 141 3,000 miles on stock slides, JT rear wheel kit from new, slides are still in good shape, seem to be holding up better than the rubber on my stock wheels.

Just under 8,000km on original sliders, wear at bend which hasn't changed, no wheel kit.

My 18 Ltx le is eating sliders at a stupid rate. 1000 km's last year.....on my third set. Ya, had to do some road running but same as everyone else. I run with other YSW's. No problems. My buddy's 137 is 4500 km's.....original sliders. My skid is not bent and sled is dealer serviced. They tell me I must not be finding enough snow....and I run scratchers!

Check your track clips.

Some Winders wear them but most don’t!
Mine wore pretty quick, but I was stock track without studs at first. Problem solved with DuPont slides.
Bud with RTX was wearing his as quick as yours, but he also had a 1.6”Cobra Ice track on it?
He also put Dupont’s on, after he burnt through a couple set of stock slides quickly. Dupont’s and done!

Many say you don’t need them with this chassis, yep that’s my luck!!

Thnx for info. I'll check the clips. FYI, original track with 144 studs. 2200 k on sled. Same wear pattern as the other 137's I ride with but much faster in my case. Cheers!

I have over 3k on the originals on my '17 LTX LE. Just serviced by dealer and they rated the sliders at 50%. I am studded. Am pretty happy if I have half the life yet at this mileage.

I replaced the stock ones with @ 2k miles but still had some wear left. Duponts have over 1.5 k now and show very little wear. I did it for piece of mind. One less thing to worry about on those low snow roads,lakes,trails.
