Carbide Skags

A skag is a replaceable bar attached to the underside of the ski to assist in turning the snowmobile and to prevent ski wear caused by contact with roads and other bare terrain. Use carbide skags with studded tracks to help maintain proper vehicle steering and control. See page 97.

If your machine has carbide skags, it may be necessary to add track studs to maintain proper vehicle control. Maintain a proper balance between the number and studs and length of carbide on the skags (the more studs you use, the longer the carbide on the skags should be). See your dealer’s track studding chart.
