GET FAMILIAR WITH THE SNOWMOBILE
Track studs can also cause serious damage to your snowmobile if it is
not equipped with the appropriate tunnel protectors.
Check local regulations concerning the use of traction enhancing
products on snowmobiles.
Studding an unapproved track or using unapproved studs increase the
risk of the track tearing or severing
Installing track studs and tunnel protector(s) requires technical knowl-
edge. To ensure safe and proper installation, BRP recommends to
have the studs installed by your dealer.
For maintenance and replacement refer to Track in Maintenance
Procedures .

Using traction enhancing products such as, more aggressive ski car-
bide runners and/or studs makes the snowmobile grip the ground bet-
ter at both the front and at the rear. The use of carbide runners is
therefore required to give the skis a better grip, so that the front and
rear of the snowmobile are in balance. While off-the-shelf carbide ski
runners are adequate, they don't necessarily give you optimal control,
since that depends on your personal preferences, your riding style,
and how your suspension is adjusted.

In certain conditions, using more aggressive ski carbide runners with-
out studs on the rear track could make the snowmobile prone to over-
steering, see illustration.
