ADJUSTMENTS

The following table indicates the force (1) applied and the 
deflection (2) which must occur according to the conditions of 
use.

Figure 17

Basic tuning

• A higher rubber track tension reduces the risk of

“detracking” and reduces drive “ratcheting” (for severe
use only).

• A lower rubber track tension provides better

performance, better rolling and better fuel economy
(recreational use).

Final check

Ride at slow speed on a distance of about 1.5 km. Evaluate
track system performance and re-adjust as required.
