Track Tension (first time pulling my skid)

[Ethan_Messinger]

So I pulled my skid to put new torsion springs in it and I have everything back in and together. My only question is, is how tight is my track supposed to be? I have a 2011 Yamaha Nytro XTX with a lot of studs. I was told with 22 pounds of pressure pulling down, I should have about an inch of gap between the skid and the track.

Any advice would help! Thanks guys.

Yes .98- 1.18" with 22 lbs of force applied to track. Then recheck track is centered.

Thanks! I followed what ya said, and now there isn't any ratcheting... I used a luggage weighing scale and pulled down until it reached 22lbs, that works right?

You should be fine. Here is a link for the 2010 Nytro models you can check out track tensioning and alignment here. http://www.marclatulippe.com/manuelshopmotoneige/yamaha/yamaha 2008-2011 fx nytro.pdf

look at pages 2-37 and 2-38
