Vibration after 30/40 mph????

[bleedyamaha]

Just took out my 14 Ltx se for a quick spin in 12 inches of powder. After getting on the throttle I am feeling a vibration I have never felt before. The only things I changed from last season is I had my skid shocks revalved and added weight to my Cotc. I did re adjust my osp belt adjuster I backed it out till the secondary just barely started creeping. It feels like you feel every lug on the track when you get on the throttle. I don't think the track is spinning but the snow is real powdery. I will check for track rub when the snow melts under neath further.

I put my sled on a lift and cranked on the throttle and didn't feel any vibration.

Change your drive belt.

Stingray is probably right. The slides thing was something I noticed last time I put new ones on. So if yours are still good. Run them.

I would also go with the belt. If you had the sled running and reved it a lot the primary will groove the belt in one spot and vibrate almost feel like the track is coming apart.
