SLP Track/Hifax Anti-wear pads or fully clipped track

[maddogjeff]

Got 900 miles on my SLP Anti-wear Pads and the verdict is ---------- they frickin work - SWEEEET. Have an 05 RS Venture and after 900 miles have only lost 1.5 mm of hyfax. Last year on 3 different sets of hyfaxes I had lost over 5mm of hyfax at 900 miles. I know, I know that I've made posts telling everyone to be patient, that the slides start to last a long time after 5mm BUT WHO HAS THE PATIENCE - GET the anti-wear pads boys and get some peice of mind.

This only proves that Comoplast or Yamaha is at fault in the design of Ripsaw track. Who do I send the bill to?

3 sets of hyfaxes - $90
Labor to install - $90
Anti-wear pads - $27
Labor to install - $50
Wear and tear on the brain - $50,000

I put the anti-wear pads on and rode with them for the first time last week. I went 200 miles and the hyfax look like brand new! My last set of hyfax only lasted 98 miles. Big improvement and well worth the $20 investment.

Do these come as a "kit" or do you have to order the exact number you need/want?

I used a 1/4 regular drill bit and it worked fine. I'm glad you guys are getting some test miles in. Not much riding in Vermont.

Great, thanks for the info guys. I think I'm going to get myself setup with these anti-wear pads.

I just put in SLP pads along with a set of Hiperfax last night.

Do you need to put Hiperfax on or can you run your factory hifax with the SLP pads?

You can use the SLP pads with any hifax, but Hyperfax requires a fully clipped track or SLP pads.

Thanks NY_Warrior for the info. I think I will order a set for the rage so when it snows out I will be ready to play in the snow.

Put another 900 miles on in great snow conditions and didn't lose any hifax with my SLP pads. That's 1700 miles and only 1.5mm lost, at this rate I should get 9,000 miles on this set of faxes.

[maddogjeff]

How many do you need for a 121" track ? Do you put them in every slot or just in between ? Thanks
