I've been having a problem with track ratcheting with my 07 RTX.
I started off setting the track tension to 35mm @ 22 lbs and found it ratcheted when traction was very good. Today I was finding when accelerating hard on hardpack with small patches of looser snow it ratchets when the traction improves again. Even tightened to 30mm@22 lbs it ratchets once in a while (this is Yamaha's spec for tension). The other Apex's I ride with aren't having any problems (monoshock skid though).
In deep snow when playing in snow drifts it also ratchets if I punch it, even at 30mm@22 lbs.
Reading through the forums there seems to be a few others complaining about this with the ProActive CK suspension - even with lower horsepower (Nytro).
I also suspect running the track at 30mm@22lbs today (for about 300 miles in good snow conditions) is what caused my premature hyfax wear/failure (see: http://www.ty4stroke.com/viewtopic.php?t=39923) so this doesn't look like an option.
I checked over the sled carefully and the track drivers are all keyed properly and everything looks good with the track. This has me baffled. I've never had a sled with this problem before.
Have any of you got the ProActive CK figured out when hooked up to the 150 hp motor (07 RTX)? Tightened limiter strap or something? What will stop the ratcheting and the hyfax wear at the curve?
I'm running a 9837H144 1" Predator 6-pitch fully punched and clipped track. I'm starting to think the only real all around solution might be to run anti-ratchet drivers.
