Track clicking noise.

I didn't have my sled jacked up while it was sitting in this extreme cold in northern Michigan and when i took it out yesterday it had a clicking sound down in the track... what could this be?

Does it by chance have new hyfax on?

x2 my guess is you put on new hyfax and didn't cut the back of them at a 45 degree angle. I cut my slides pretty short so they're in front of the bogey wheel. Saves track clips.

it has been cold sure it is not just your teeth clanking together

Or it has old hyfax and they broke, slide back and are clicking on the clips. Had that happen one cold night.

belt?

Grease jack & Axel shafts, check drive axel spokes, grease under carrage, check lugs on drive belt and gear box lube level, keep eye on things, don't worry about it & wait till it breaks, just my suggestion.

Rumple

It's rumplestiltskin. You must have made a deal with him in your sleep!!!!! Now he will haunt your riding for the year

If you have studs and tunnel protectors I have seen the front of one of the protectors come loose for whatever reason and was hanging down enough to make contact with the track/studs and cause a clicking.
Just another idea.

Take a look at your drive axal bearings, if its going out you will have a clinking sound that will continue to get worse. Also Iv seen where a stud has pulled through and was flopping there when the track was moving.

I had that happen once, and it was more of a sound that you thought the engine was knocking, it's pretty loud, not really a click.
