etc. If snow coverage is not sufficient, stay on
trails to avoid impact damage to the drive
track.
Studded track
In general, track life will be shortened when
studs are installed. Drilling stud holes into the
drive track will cut the internal fibers, which
weakens the track. Avoid spinning the drive
track. Studs may catch on an object and pull
out of the track, leaving tears and damage
around the already weakened area. To mini-
mize possible damage, consult your stud
manufacturer for installation and stud pattern
recommendations.
Yamaha does not recommend track stud-
ding.
