To install the Polaris Timbersled Ripper, start by securely supporting your dirt bike. Remove the front wheel and rear suspension. Attach the Timbersled ski kit to the front fork and the track system to the rear, following the detailed instructions in the user manual to ensure all components are torqued to specification.
Regular maintenance for the Timbersled Ripper includes checking and tightening all bolts, inspecting the track and ski for wear, lubricating the suspension and chain, and ensuring the fitment remains secure. Consult the maintenance schedule in the manual for specific intervals.
If the track isn't rotating properly, first check for debris or ice build-up. Ensure the chain tension is correct and that the drive sprocket is not worn. Inspect the bearings for wear or damage and replace them if necessary.
The Timbersled Ripper is designed for light to moderate snow conditions and is ideal for trail riding and packed snow. For deeper snow, consider a model with a longer track.
If the Ripper feels unstable, check the ski alignment and ensure it is properly centered. Adjust the suspension settings according to rider weight and terrain. Inspect the track tension and make any necessary adjustments.
Store the Timbersled Ripper in a dry, cool place. Clean it thoroughly to remove dirt and moisture, lubricate moving parts, and elevate the unit to prevent track deformation over time.
Recommended suspension settings vary by rider weight and terrain. Generally, start with a medium stiffness and adjust based on feedback while riding. Refer to the manual for detailed settings based on specific conditions.
To improve performance, ensure the engine of your bike is tuned for winter conditions. Upgrade to a high-performance air filter and exhaust system if needed. Regularly maintain the track and ski components for optimal efficiency.
Unusual noises can result from loose components or worn parts. Inspect the suspension, track, and ski for any signs of damage or wear. Tighten all bolts and lubricate moving parts to eliminate noise.
To adjust the track tension, locate the tension bolts on the rear suspension. Loosen the lock nut, adjust the tension bolts evenly on both sides until proper tension is achieved, and retighten the lock nut. Proper tension is crucial for performance and longevity.
