Measuring the drive track deflection
1.
Lay the snowmobile on its side.
2.
Measure the drive track deflection with a
spring scale. Pull at the center of the drive
track with a force of 100 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf).
TIP
Measure the gap between the slide runner
and the edge of the track window on both
sides.
3.
If the deflection is incorrect, adjust the
drive track.
Adjusting the drive track alignment and de-
flection
(RS90GT / RS90LTGT)
1.
Loosen the rear axle nut.
2.
Lift the rear of the snowmobile onto a suit-
