Riding:
• Reference the host bike OEM user's/owner's manual to fully
understand the safe operation and control functions of the
host bike
• Whenever possible, ride in groups
• Traction can be lost at high speeds. In deep, soft powder the
track can spin and get stuck
• Be cautious of potential obstacles hidden under the snow
• In remote areas or unfamiliar terrain, always carry a
comprehensive survival kit
• Ride the RALE® Track Kit as you would ride a normal dirt bike,
stay forward, ride light on the seat, and don't hesitate to stand
up for better control
Riding disclaimer: A vehicle equipped with the RALE® Track Kit is
similar to riding a dirt bike, but with obvious handling dierences.
Familiarity with the kit, its operation and an understanding of how
snow conditions, obstacles, and terrain aect ride-ability is crucial
to mitigate risk.
DANGER
To avoid serious injury or death: prevent objects, clothing, or
extremities from becoming entangled or jammed in and around
moving parts. IMMEDIATELY STOP THE ENGINE AND ENGAGE
THE BRAKE IF THIS CAN OR DOES OCCUR.
Tools:
• Wrenches: 8mm, 13mm, 15mm,
17mm, 19mm
• Adjustable wrench
• Flat screwdriver
• Plastic cable ties
• Battery jumper pack

2022 RALE®INDUSTRIES USER'S MANUAL10
• The RALE® Track Kit has moving parts and pinch points
• Use extreme caution while operating the RALE® Track Kit to
avoid contacting any moving or power transmitting parts, such
as drive chains, sprockets, drive cogs, disc brakes, and track
• If any object can be, or does become entangled or jammed
into the kit, stop and remove it to avoid serious injury or
product failure
• Lack of awareness when riding or with situations can result in
falling, rolling, or flipping over, and may result in serious injury
or death.
• Installation of the RALE® Track Kit changes the center of
gravity, increases the overall weight of the vehicle
• The RALE® Track Kit will make an OEM speedometer/
odometer inoperative
• Carrying a passenger or towing is EXTREMELY dangerous
(See warning label on RALE® Track Kit)
• Always respect laws and regulations when riding
DANGER
Users assume all risk while operating a vehicle equipped with
a RALE® Track Kit equipped vehicle, including, but not limited
to, stunts, jumps, wheelies, competitive hill climbing, race
competition, or performance expositions of any kind.
su s p e n s i o n s e t u p t i p s
• RALE® recommends slowing the rebound of the factory shock
to account for the added weight of the track kit. 2 clicks from
max rebound dampening is a preferred setting for many riders.
NOTE: Do not completely close o the rebound clicker/port
• Less shock spring preload is common with the RALE® system to
achieve proper static sag, as shown on page 11. This is because
the shock is compressed slightly during installation into the kit.
• All other suspension settings, including forks, often transfer
over very well from the rider's dirt bike suspension preferences.

112022 RALE®INDUSTRIES USER'S MANUAL
Before riding, perform all of the following tasks as outlined on
page 15:
• Visual and physical check
• Bolt Re-torque
• Brake check
• Upper Link check
• Primary Chain and Secondary Chain tension
• Track tension
• Front ski nut and bolt check
• Air intake check

1. Place the bike on level gound, not supported by any stand, to
set the static sag using the shock spring preload adjuster.
2. Jounce the suspension of the bike to establish proper ride
height. Ensure the handlebars are straight before proceeding.
3. Place a level on the center channel.
4. Increase the spring preload until the center channel is level (0°).
5. Using an angle gauge on the lower fork tubes, continue
adjusting the shock spring preload as needed to achieve a fork
angle of 28° +/- 1°.
NOTE: A 28° dierence between the swingarm center channel
and forks of the bike is critical to achieving proper handling and
weight distribution of the snowbike conversion kit.

2022 RALE®INDUSTRIES USER'S MANUAL12

Visual and Physical Inspection – After cleaning the RALE® Track
Kit, inspect for the following; cracks, loose, damaged or missing
parts, and abnormal or excessive wear.
Bolt Torque – Re-torque all bolts as specified on page 13. Refer
to the part diagrams for torque specifications.
Primary Chain – Verify that the chain guide is aligned and does not
have excessive wear. Check the chain tension, wear and master
link; clean and lubricate as needed. Refer to the installation manual
to properly set or check the chain tension.
Secondary Chain – Check the chain slider for excessive wear;
adjust to the tighter hole if necessary. Check the chain wear and
master link; clean and lubricate as needed.
Sprockets – Check for abnormal or excessive wear due to
improper alignment or improper chain tension.
Track Tension – Refer to the installation manual to properly set or
check the track tension / alignment.
Track – Check for damage, wear on the lugs. Examine the metal
clips for excessive wear or missing clips.
Hyfax – Check for abnormal or excessive wear; the sides should
not be less than 17 mm tall.
