What do you think would you gain anything on a snowbike, just a thought so far but seems like if any snowmachine could benefit from a more flexible track it might be a snowbike? anyone tried it yet? a little hesitant myself just wanted to get some thoughts.
Prorting a snowbike track
- Thread starter tomk
- Start date
We did it a few seasons ago.. made the track rotate easier and made the snow fly all over the place.. was it an improvement.. I'm really not sure..

I have been thinking about this also.
A slight loss of floatation in the deep, slow going conditions but other than that everything else should be a gain. Lighter rotating weight would be the greatest benefit.

And what about removing every other steel clip. Way more weight loss than porting

I would be hesitant to do anything that took away from the track flotation on the MH. Just my .02 cents.
I am running a snowcross track on my bike so it actually has two out of 3 clips removed, it is the track I have always ran so I cant compare it to anything. the issue I had with it was testing my bike with no snow, the slides would heat up in about 2.5 seconds. I actually went out and bought 20 more clips and put them on, so now I am down to every other, it is way better now.
I was thinking porting for the flexability/rolling resistance part, removing track clips would lower rotating mass by alot tho.

3 1/2 lbs loss after porting and removing every other clip.
Noticeable difference? I couldn't tell. But it's still holding up. 3rd season.
