Not seeing the "unusual track wear" on my 2019. Anyone else?

Not seeing the "unusual track wear" on my 2019. Anyone else? My 2016 - 2018 800's had the wearing between the clips. I'm at 750 miles on this 850 with 3" lug and I'm not seeing any wear. Maybe clipping under the lug is the answer?? Thoughts?

HAHA, I didn't see this thread and literally just asked about this in the track clips thread.

You must be on your 4th or 5th engine if you believe everything you read on this forum.

yes, it is the fact Polaris came back to how the REST OF THE WORLD clips their snowmobile tracks as the reason for your track NOT showing any wear.

Not quite sure WHY Polaris allowed such a STUPID idea to stay in production for so long but then again, Doo STILL can't make a recoil that will last or clutch a mountain sled.

The 2019 850 SKS 155 I saw, the track was fully clipped.

I talked to Camso and the rep told me that Polaris was concerned that heat generated from the clip against the hyfax could transfer to the lug and cook the lug until it got brittle and broke off. This was because the flatlanders that had fully clipped tracks would lose lugs only where hyfax was above and not the center lugs. (overheating) Rubber is not better against nylon IMHO.

What about the people with 16,17,18's that have to sit with tracks, that are worn from whatever it wears on. No one seems to know why? They won't warranty it nor offer a solution (Yes your tracks not adjusted right). So we clip them and it fixes it. We as riders spend our money and our time to fix their mistakes. I'm not happy with track deal at all. The one thing that should be easy to put on a snowmobile is a track we have been putting tracks on them for 100's of years. I just think something should be offered to us.

I changed the skid on my axys and the damage between the drive notch have not changed much. It looks like it's not 100% the track fault but the combination of the skid and track.

Not that it excuses Polaris to clip the wrong part for 3 years

I agree 100%. They blame the consumer for the problem, which is just salt in the wound. Then they go and change the where they place the clips because they know that was the problem, but offer nothing to the consumers that have the abnormal track wear.
