I'm a certified polaris tech at a large volume dealer in colorado I can change a track (stock) in about an hour but I do them fairly regularly and have somewhat of a system down you must remove your lower sprocket, the entire rear skid, the secondary, the driveshaft and then you can put the new track in it is not a job for a novice and as far as 300$ that probably isn't gonna happen if the track is in good condition but if you can pull that off more power to ya if you're interested I have my 2015 take off track with zero miles on it but I'd want well over 300$ for it as far as installing a new track you're looking at a total of roughly 1000$
Check the swapmeet section here on snowest... $300-$400 plus shipping is really common for a good used 163 series 5.1 takeoff track. Even a few Camo Extreme (better track IMHO) for not a lot more on swapmeet recently. As for the $1000 for a new track, LMAO @ dealers wanting that kind of money, that is full retail, and you can get new ones from places like TracksUSA for quite a bit cheaper - hundreds of $$ cheaper... I suspect the only time a dealer sells one of those high priced OEM tracks is when an insurance company is paying for it. No offense intended but that is a ripoff. Even including dealer installation at $1K would be a rip. I like my dealer but not that much. I buy lots of other parts from them but not ever a track no matter what they are so far out of line on price...
Does anybody know if a track off a 2008 dragon will fit a 2013 rmk pro.
The part number is 5413233.
yes it will fit but i think th lgs are softer then your pro track so it won't hook up good in harder snow conditions there is tons of take of pro tracks on Craiglist Alberta canada pretty reasonable.
The official line is that the 5.1 series tracks are all the same durometer if I recall correctly, however I think the newer ones (2011 and newer) might be a bit stiffer. Still too soft IMHO, and they take a definite set and roll over easier when they get some miles on them when compared to the Camo Extreme. All are 2.86 pitch stock, as is the Camo Extreme I run.
I thought that track was a 2.52 pitch? Somethings different about it vs current anyway.
Wrong! 2007 to present IQ-Raw chassis and Pro chassis 155 and 163 are all 2.86 pitch stock.
I still would fork over the extra $ for a Camo Extreme if you could find a good used one, especially in your neck of the woods, harder or at least denser snow than say Colorado. Here in MT I prefer it too but here it is a bit more personal preference. Downhill braking difference alone has saved me from a few heart attacks dropping off steep stuff when there is a bit of crust or hardpack.
