Had this issue before but now it's become a real pain.had my skid out the check everything as preseason maintenance and now after getting the skid back in track has to move to throttle side to get it adjusted as it's probably 1/4 inch out.no matter how much I adjust the brake side adjuster the track wont move over.should I just set proper tension and ride it ?just spent 2 hours trying to get it at the least a little better than it is.also have 4 wheel kit so going by the looks of the back wheels being centered properly.

I'm assuming you loosened the tri hub bolts...... After making an adjustment with the hub bolts loose I step on the track edges to make sure the adjusters are set and then retighten the hub bolts before spinning the track. Usually I can get it close this way but I've found once I run it with a load it moves again so I take the necessary tools out with me and adjust until it's centered.
It's kind of like adjusting belt deflection, The belt needs to be loaded before determining actual ride height so adjustments in the garage only get you so far.

check the adjuster blocks to make sure one didn't brake. I believe I've read reports of them having issues and there are billet replacements available.

Put new ones in as I had also heard about that
Some of these tracks just refuse to align. My original was like that. I just resorted to backing the adjusters even with nuts both sides and counting the turns doing both sides same till track was tight. My track lasted over 9000mi. 2nd track adjusts very easily. Can put it wherever I want with a 1/8th turn. Dont sweat it. That track is all over the place when riding!

Just an update .track is 1/4 more to the left and I loosened the trihub bolts and tightened the right side all the way almost till the track was too tight and it wont move over at all.totally stumped and I don't want to run it like this because the 2 trihubs are rubbing on the inside track nubs.why wont the track move over.i can loosen one side all the way and crank the other side down and makes no difference.dont want to wear out inner trihub wheels

If the track is 2 far to the left and you want it to move to the right you have to tighten the left side adjuster.Just an update .track is 1/4 more to the left and I loosened the trihub bolts and tightened the right side all the way almost till the track was too tight and it wont move over at all.torally stumped and I don't want to run it like this because the 2 trihubs are rubbing on the inside track nubs.why wont the track move over.i can loosen one side all the way and crank the other side down and makes no difference.dont want to wear out inner trihub wheels

Did you run it under load or is this with the track hanging?

rotated by hand? You need to spin more than a couple rotations. I run the engine to spin the track then when close take it out to do the final adjustment.
