[. . . ] To prevent the drive track and slide runners from overheating, avoid sustained highspeed usage in areas such as icy trails, frozen lakes and rivers that have minimal snow coverage. An overheated track will be weakened internally, which may cause failure or damage. Off-trail riding Avoid off-trail riding until there is sufficient snow coverage. It generally takes several feet of snow to provide a good overall base to properly cover debris, such as rocks, logs, etc. If snow coverage is not sufficient, stay on trails to avoid impact damage to the drive track. Studded track In general, track life will be shortened when studs are installed. Drilling stud holes into the drive track will cut the internal fibers, which weakens the track. Studs may catch on an object and pull out of the track, leaving tears and damage around the already weakened area. To minimize possible damage, consult your stud manufacturer for installation and stud pattern recommendations. Yamaha does not recommend track studding. 7-9 ESU00318 Driving WARNING @ Be sure to read the "SAFETY INFORMATION" and "Riding your snowmobile" sections carefully before operating the snowmobile. @ NOTE: @ Make sure that the engine is warmed up enough before riding. @ For SXV60 1.
