what causes a track to spin really hard?? i cant spin my track with my hands

[Bkboatnsleds]

@codyraab1 It could be a lot of things really.. For one, keep in mind the tracks dont spin by have very easy. Take your belt off to see if that helps. If you still can not spin it, check bearings on cog shaft (some on each end) check track alignment too. And if its too tight that will make it harder to spin too. But remember its not like they spin super easy.

@Bkboatnsleds the guy i got the sled from replaced the left side cog shaft bearing and i checked the left one and that one is good but im going to check the right side now. and thanks for your help. :)

Thanks for the response ya I found it earlier today lol

The real difference is where the tension bolt is located. If yours is on the side like this Polaris - it will all be the same . SOME of the Yamaha's had the bolt in the skid, and you have to go in through a track window.

as tight as you can without racheting? it actually should be as loose as you can without racheting!
