Ripped a paddle, should I be worried?

[niner]

Ripped a lug of my 3" track. Should I be worried about it separating more or is there a way to patch it or keep riding ?

I did the same on my T-Nytro, rode the rest of the season with no issues. I know others that have done the same. I'd ride and keep an eye on it.

Ouch. As a new rider I am wondering how you did this, so I don't

No problem as it should just buff out!

put 1200km on my last 3" with two paddles missing. I'd just ride it and keep an eye on it. As long as its just the rubber and not structure underneith it should be fine.

highfly, it can happen anytime you spin that track on a hard surface, stumps,sticks,trees or even the edge of your sled deck or ramp can get a tear started.

Was out riding in the coulees by Castor over Christmas . They had a couple feet of snow in places. Must have over done some carving on that side. Looks like just the paddle is tore not the track.

might want to take the rest of that nub off with a utility knife, just to lessen the stress in that area.

Oh you will eventually if you keep riding enough, happens to everyone at some time or another. I ripped three paddles off my track on my 2007 Phazer MTX in the 3500ish KM I rode it. None so far on the M8 however....... fingers crossed

I thought someone had a repair kit to cover up the cords. I think teth air found something that worked... Could be mistaken.
