Was playing with it in the garage and noticed that the track engages while at idle. I have the back-end jack-up off the ground, started it up and within about 30 seconds of it running the track started going. Even the odometer read that it was moving.

What do you think would cause that?

They do that sometimes. Is your idle at around 1800 RPM's? If not, lower it.

If I'm not home, CHECK THE TRAILS!

When idling, the belt is still in contact with the center of the clutch. With the track in the air, there is enough force coming from the clutch to the bottom of the belt to get the track to turn. If it does not try to creep forward when the track is on the ground, it's not a problem. Like SEG said, sometimes lowering the RPM at idle will help, but a bit of track movement when the sled is on a stand is pretty normal.

Thanks for the responses guys.

It does idle right around 1800 so that's good.

I was just suprised since my other two don't do it.
