OH NO! NOT HIM AGAIN!!!
Had this posted in perfomance section not many people looking and none offering advice so I'll try it here:
Okay, here's the deal. I bought a used 151" track off of the forum to put on my 1997 XLT RMK 600. Current setup is factory Xtra-10 w/ 133" rails, 1.5" track, 9-tooth drivers, SLP Triple pipes. Am trying to get an idea of what parts I need to save up for and purchase as I can afford them. Here's my questions:
--Track is a 151 x 2.25 x15 polaris track that has about a dozen paddles missing and a few more that are cracked and is ported down middle (amateur job). For the price I paid I figured I could cut down paddles if I had to. Western Power Sports catalog says a 2.25 paddle will fit on 9-tooth drivers with tallest paddles trimmed. Will 8-tooth drivers give me enough clearance for 2.25" paddles without trimming?
--I have a set of kimpex 7-tooth internal drivers off an '85 600 shaft that are next to new that I could use to get the needed clearance. However, there are a few of the drive lugs on inside of track that are chunked, a couple pretty good. I am concerned about track slippage on the internals, especially with the smaller 7-tooth drivers. The track is clipped every third lug, and I was thinking of 8-tooth no-slip srockets if they would fit, but ads say no-slips are only for fully clipped tracks.
--What length track extensions to use with odd size 133 rails and smaller circumerence drivers? 136/151, 136/156? What brand--SLP, WPS?
--Track stabbage and interferance with rail tips for 8-tooth no slips. Is this going to be a problem? I'm not sure if I want to tackle moving the skid back or cutting rails to prevent these issues just yet.
--I know I will have to gear down some and change clutch setup to compensate for longer/deeper track. What was stock gear ratio and how many teeth count would I have to move up/down to get proper track speed? What would be a good clutch setup for this combination?
Thanks for looking, and let me know if there's anything else to consider. Looking to add some performance heads down the road to help out as well for a little more oompf.
