Track Removal - Polaris TX Starfire Owner's Manual

TRACK REMOVAL
Your 1973 TX Starfire is equipped with a quick change front
drive shaft. This unique system was developed for two very
important reasons:
1. It is extremely fast to change tracks ... approxi-
mately ten minutes from start to finish.
2. The chaincase, gearing, and driven clutch do not
have to be removed. Without having to remove any
of these items, your clutch alignment and center
distance will not change.
To remove track: (See opposite page)
NOTE:
Leave chaincase as is! It is not necessary to remove
cover, chain or gears.
