On today's to-do list we have to install and align the track on a 2002 Polaris XC 500. Almost everything I go over on this video will be the same on other sleds! So don't let the fact that its a Polaris scare you!
Endless Ratchet strap that I used on the skid - amzn.to/3umogSL

For track tension and alignment, don't put too much stock into the adjuster bolts being set exactly the same on either side. With age and a few bangs, the tunnel and the skid can get a bit of a twist. Just adjust for tension and alignment as shown.

I just unspring the rear springs instead of using a ratchet strap. work great every time.

That last line tho 🤣🤣 thanks for sharing! I’ve never thought about measuring the bolt spacing before putting it in!

I have been having a hard time lining up the two red bolts, going to try your strap trick

@ToyShop9665 5 ай бұрын

Good! I hope it works out for you!

@jimdaniels3542 Жыл бұрын

You did that the hard way for sure. You don't need a strap at all when you do this job.

@ToyShop9665 Жыл бұрын

I don’t know another way 🤷🏻‍♂️ and I do like one track every 2 years so it works lol

@Indyguy5oo Жыл бұрын

Pretty sure you do. I just did this job and the back ones don’t line up without the strap

@@ToyShop9665I just put mine back in my 79 Yamaha Enticer, definitely need a strap. 👍. Was looking for a proper tension video when I saw your video.

If you pop out the springs on both sides you definitely don’t need the strap! All the strap does is fight the spring tension that is totally avoidable 😊

I’m a believer of work smarter not harder. Good luck!

Just undo the rear springs and you can collapse the rear shock, and place the rear mounting shaft wherever you need to,

@ToyShop9665 3 ай бұрын

You can do that! I think you’ve still gotta fight with the rear shock but ya that would work

@kevinscheifele6833 Жыл бұрын

I have that from left skid bolt snapped off. Do you think I have to remove the whole skid to replace it? Thanks.

@ToyShop9665 Жыл бұрын

Ya probably 😅 that sucks. You might be able to leave it in the track but it’d be easier to drop the skid all the way down

Use a jack under the track

That would work too!

I have but its easier with someone and I had nothing to prove lol use a floor jack and adjust the height of the stand at the rear and its not terrible!
