The tracks on your snowmobile are crucial for performance and safety. It’s important to keep them in great condition, but without a proper inspection, it can be difficult to provide the right maintenance! Our team at Tracks USA is here to help with all of your track needs, so continue reading for a few inspection tips.

How often you inspect your tracks should depend on how often you ride and how hard you ride, but ideally you should inspect your tracks before every trip. Check the manufacturer recommendations for a specific timeline.

In order to properly inspect your tracks, you’ll also need to have the right tools. This includes a floor jack, gauge, lubricants, oil, and a flashlight. These tools will provide the best visibility, safety, and accuracy for your inspection.

There are a few things to look for as you complete the inspection. First is the overall wear of the tracks. Look for signs of damage or excessive wear that might indicate the need for repairs or replacements.

You’ll also want to check the tension of the track to make sure it is adjusted to meet manufacturer recommendations. You’ll also need to check the clips, bearings, and alignment during the inspection. All of these components make up the safety and performance of your snowmobile tracks, so don’t ignore any warning signs!

Regularly inspecting your snowmobile tracks will improve your safety and experience every time you ride. Visit us in Lake Lillian, MN, to learn more about inspections and maintenance.
