Anyone else's Axys sound like it has a wasted bearing? At slow speed it rumbles along like there are marbles in the chain case (mine is ‘18 w/3” track). My two other buddies one with an ‘18 2.6 other with ‘16 2.6 both have the same crap. All sleds have now approximately 250 miles on them.
Wish I would have taken a picture but while inspecting my buddies ‘18 the track was in the perfect spot to see the hyfax essentially stabbing the windows of the track, especially where there is no clip on the previous lug/window. I thought then that an anti stab kit is the answer but frustrating than this a factory flaw. His track didn’t seem to have any wear on the windows like many have reported. I then inspected my track today and while I didn’t have time to place it perfectly and take a picture to show exactly what I’m saying I have the same situation but have wear and need to clip the track before it gets any worse.
Have others experienced this rumble sound/vibration and have you noticed it change or go away with fully clipping the track and/or adding an anti stab kit that has wheels large enough to guide the track away from the leading edge of the hyfax. To me this seems to be the cause of both the rumble and the track wear. Every time the window will hit the end of the hyfax and grind away at it but the softer rubber looses. Maybe the fully clipped tracks are wearing the guide at the end of the hyfax now? Polaris lowered the skid but didn’t account for the angle. If they had tipped the rails a little more for the steeper angle or punched the skid back a little this wouldn’t be an issue.
My plan is to clip the track and add an Ice age anti stab kit with I think the 3” wheels to hopefully solve the track wear AND the rumble.
Any feedback? If this is old news (the coordination between the rumble/hyfax leading edge stabbing the track/track wear) please point me in the right direction. I have searched and obviously found info on clipping the track and anti stab kits. Other threads I found on clipping the track and track wear point more toward the load of the lugs on the hyfax and having no clip which I agree with also but see this interference equally as an issue.
If there are other causes for this rumble please let me know as well. Sorry for the long post, thanks for any info.
