2016 MXZ-X 129 inch track 4-Tech 1200 Is the track too tight or too loose? Or is it something else? Rides just fine I think, but this is my first Snowmobile at my elderly age so I just don't know.

Can any of you young-uns help

New slides put on? Sounds like the back edge didn't get beveled on a 45 degree angle.

Sometimes, the front of the hyfax is lower than the rail tip too. I've had mine make that noise before on a stand. As long as the track is aligned, not to tight and you don't hear it while riding, I wouldn't worry about.

Weird Track Noise

I just replaced the hyfax along with most of the bearings in the skid of my 2005 Renegade. I also added studs and tunnel protectors. I now have this weird clicking noise when the track spins: The track and studs don't appear to be hitting anywhere. If anything the track is a little loose. I...

Clicking on the Track (update)

Hey All... Just studded my track with 144 steel studs... 2005 Skid Doo GSX 500 SS. After studding the track, the guides are hittting and making a large amont of chatter against the front of slides... The tension of the track at the beggining of the slides on is very tight and track guides are...

It seems to be synchronized with the drive cogs slipping into the drive holes in the track. And when you first take off there is a loud clunking sound and you can feel the cogs going into place. This summer I will be pulling everything apart to look for the problem. Only a few more weeks of sledding left anyway.

Sounds a little bit like playing cards on bicycle spokes...

Not a young un but sounds like your clips are hitting something, have a close look

Thanks or all the hints and suggestions. They give me a lot to look for and check.

I was finally able to get everything cleaned off and defrosted and upon examination see that on the left bottom track )slider track) the plastic bullet shaped end cover has been wearing where the cogs contact it on the outboard (left side). The track looks centered all along both sliders but the top looks too far to the right and is rubbing on that plastic piece.

That would be Part #77 in the diagram

It appears that either the driver sprocket is too far to the right, or the track end is too far to the left, or possibly bent outward a quarter inch ir less. The machine runs well, but sometimes when the cog is in contact with the wearing part (77) it starts off hard with a lot of throttle necessary. Once it is moving it goes fine.

I'll pull it all apart this summer.

Wondering if the left d/s bearing isn't lunched allowing the left side of the d/s rearward.

I'll know this summer when I pull it apart.

Check your front torque arm by the shock. This sounds familiar to a issue I had with with the front of the track being off centre.
