Suspension Maintenance

The following procedures should be performed regularly to properly maintain the suspension of your snow bike.

Adjust the track only if it starts to skip on the drivers. This sometimes happens with new tracks after they have been run. Proper track tension should be 1/2 to 3/4” free hang from the top of track clip to the bottom of the rail slide at its lowest hanging point. Adjust equally on both sides for the track to run true.
Inspect the rail slide regularly for wear and replace them if they have thin spots. Rail slide wear can be prevented by making sure snow is spraying on them when riding on the trail. It is recommended to install ice scratchers on the rails if frequently riding on hard pack snow conditions. The rails are pre drilled for this. Ice Scratchers and rail slides can be purchased through Timbersled or most snow bike shops.

NOTE

Replacement rail slides are the same profile as late model Timbersled snow bikes.
