SURVIVAL PREPARATION
For your safety, always ride in a group. Always tell someone where you're going
and how long you expect to be gone. If it isn't possible to ride with others, and
you must travel into remote areas, always carry survival equipment that's
appropriate to the conditions you may encounter. Such equipment may include,
but is not limited to: extra clothing, a sleeping bag, a flashlight, food and water, a
signaling mirror, a means of building a fire, and a two-way radio or cellular
telephone.
Always carry the owner’s manual on your snow bike. For added protection,
purchase and carry the following items on your snow bike as well:
Extra Set of Spark Plugs
Tow Rope
Extra Oil
Fuel Deicer
Winter Survival Kit
Spare Drive Chain
Spare Chain Case Chain (if
equipped)
Trail Map
First Aid Kit
Tool Kit
EXCESSIVE SPEED
WARNING
High speed driving, especially at night, could result in serious injury or death.
Always reduce speed when driving at night or in inclement weather.
Always observe all state and local laws governing snow bike operation and
speed limits. Always be alert and pay attention to the trail ahead. If your speed is
40 MPH (64 km/h), your snow bike is traveling about 60 feet (18 m) per second.
If you look back for only two seconds, your snow bike will travel about 120 feet
(36 m). If your speed is 60 MPH (96 km/h), your snow bike will travel about 180
feet (55 m) in two seconds.
Traveling at night requires extra caution. If your host bike is equipped with a
headlight, check headlight and taillight to ensure proper operation, and don’t
over-drive your headlight beam. Always be able to bring your snow bike to a
stop in the distance illuminated by the headlight.
14
SAFETY
ICE AND SNOW BUILD-UP
WARNING
Ice and snow build-up may interfere with the steering and braking of your snow
bike, resulting in serious injury or death. Keep the snow bike free of snow and
ice.
Before driving, manually turn the ski to the left and right to be sure ice and snow
are not interfering with full left and right steering. If difficulty is encountered,
remove ice and snow build-up that may be obstructing the steering.
DRIVING ON SLIPPERY SURFACES
WARNING
Never attempt an abrupt change of direction when operating on slippery
surfaces. Proceed slowly and use extra caution. Driving on ice or hard-packed
snow reduces steering and braking control, which may result in loss of control
and serious injury or death. Slow down and use extra caution when operating
on slippery surfaces.
INADEQUATE SNOW CONDITIONS
NOTICE
Driving in too little snow will result in excessive wear and damage to the slide
rail, track, ski, ski skags, and/or spindle.
WARNING
Inadequate cooling and lubrication will lead to overheating of the slide rail and
track, causing premature wear, damage and failure, which can result in serious
injury. Reduce speeds and frequently drive into fresh snow to allow adequate
cooling and polishing of the slide rail and track surfaces. Avoid operating for
prolonged periods on ice, hard-packed surfaces or roads.
OPERATING IN DEEP SNOW
If the snow bike becomes stuck in snow, clear the track and tunnel area of snow,
then step down the snow in front of the snow bike so that when the throttle is
opened, the snow bike will be able to climb up and over the snow.
22
SAFETY
DRIVING DOWNHILL
When riding downhill, shift your weight to the rear of the snow bike and reduce
your speed to a minimum. Apply just enough throttle to keep the engine from
stalling, allowing the engine's compression to help slow the snow bike and keep
it from rolling freely downhill.
WARNING
When driving on long downhill stretches, pump the brakes. Riding the brakes
may cause the brake system to overheat, which may result in brake failure.
Excessive or repetitive use of the brakes for high speed stops will also cause
an overheated brake system. This condition may lead to a sudden loss of
brakes and/or fire and may result in serious injury or death.
DRIVING IN HILLY TERRAIN
WARNING
Climbing a hill or crossing the face of a slope may result in loss of balance and
rollover, causing serious injury or death. Use caution and good judgement
when driving in hilly terrain.
Use extra caution when operating in hilly terrain. If climbing a hill is unavoidable,
keep your weight low and forward. If you must cross the face of a slope, keep
your weight on the uphill side of the snow bike to maintain proper balance and
avoid possible roll-over.
Slow down when reaching the crest of a hill. Be prepared to react to obstacles,
sharp drops or other people or vehicles that may be on the other side of the hill.
If you're unable to continue up a hill, turn the snow bike downhill before it loses
momentum. If this isn't possible, spin the track just enough to dig in to prevent it
from rolling back down the hill. Stop the engine. Keeping away from the downhill
side of the snow bike, pull the rear of the snow bike around and point the front
end and skis downhill. Remount the snow bike, restart the engine, and descend
the hill carefully.
COLD WEATHER DRIVE-AWAY
Whenever your snow bike has been parked for a length of time, especially
overnight, always make sure the ski and track are loosened from ice and snow
before attempting to drive. Apply the throttle with enough authority to put the
snow bike into motion, but always operate within safety limits.
CAUTION
Reference host bike’s owner’s manual to insure bike is adequately prepared
for cold temperature conditions.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
Before starting the engine, reference your host bike’s owners manual for engine
starting process and safety warnings.
WARNING
Operating the vehicle with worn, damaged, or malfunctioning components
could result in serious injury or death. Never start the engine without checking
all vehicle components to be sure of proper operation.
READ AND UNDERSTAND YOUR OWNER'S
MANUAL
Read your Timbersled owner's manual, as well as your host bike’s owners
manual, completely and refer to it often. The manual is your guide to safe and
enjoyable experience.
STEERING SYSTEM
WARNING
Ice and snow build-up may interfere with the steering of your snow bike,
resulting in serious injury or death. Keep the vehicle free of snow and ice.
Before driving, manually turn the ski to the left and right to be sure ice and snow
are not interfering with full left and right steering. If difficulty is encountered,
remove ice and snow build-up that may be obstructing the steering linkage or
front ski and skags.
Ensure fork clamps, spindle and ski bolts, and front axle bolt are torqued
properly.
52
PRE-RIDE INSPECTION
LUBRICATION
CHAIN LUBRICATION
Lubricate the chains every 8 to 10 hours of operation. We recommend the use of
Timbersled chain lube. It is recommended to lift the track off the ground. Start
the bike and put it into first gear and let the clutch out allowing the drive system
to spin. Slowly spray lube directly onto the chain rollers and O-rings, soaking the
chain. This will allow good penetration into the moving chain parts.
TRACK LUBRICATION
The slide rail needs snow for lubrication. Excessive wear indicates insufficient
lubrication. A new rail slide can cause faster heat build-up in limited lubrication,
resulting in excessive wear.
WARNING
Operating with insufficient lubrication between the rail slide and track guide
clips can cause track failure, loss of vehicle control and loss of braking ability,
which can result in serious injury or death. Avoid operating for extended
periods on ice and other surfaces that have little or no snow for lubrication.
If excessive rail slide wear occurs due to poor snow conditions, additional
scratchers are available specifically designed for your model. Your dealer can
provide more information.
Track damage or failure caused by operation on ice or under other poor
lubrication conditions will void the track warranty.
EXHAUST SYSTEM
For exhaust system inspection procedures, see your host bike’s owners
manual.
CAUTION
Hot exhaust system parts can cause burns. Allow adequate time for the
exhaust system to cool. Never perform this procedure with the engine running.
SUSPENSION MAINTENANCE
The following procedures should be performed regularly to properly maintain the
suspension of your snow bike.
62
MAINTENANCE
1. Track tension and alignment adjustment may be required if the track starts to
skip on the drivers or if the rail slides are wearing too quickly. For more
information on track tension and alignment refer to the Track Maintenance
section (page 81).
2. Inspect rail slides regularly for wear and replace them if they have thin spots.
Rail slide wear can be prevented by making sure snow is spraying on them
when riding on the trail. It is recommended to install ice scratchers on the
rails if frequently riding on hard pack snow conditions. The rails are pre
drilled for this. Ice Scratchers and rail slides can be purchased through
Timbersled or most snow bike shops. For more information on rail slide
inspection and wear see the section (page 90).Rail Slide Wear
NOTICE
Replacement rail slides are the same profile as late model Timbersled snow
bikes.
3. Timbersled RIOT models’ rear suspension arm is equipped with grease
fittings. The suspension comes with assembly grease on the bushings that
should last until the first maintenance period. Lubricate as necessary and at
the maintenance intervals indicated on the Periodic Maintenance chart in the
Maintenance chapter.
BRAKES
HYDRAULIC BRAKE INSPECTION
Inspect the brake lever reserve before each use of the snow bike. See page 53.
Brake pads must be replaced when the brake pad material becomes thinner
than 1/16 inch (1.5 mm). A kit is available for replacing brake pads. Your
Timbersled dealer can assist.
WARNING
Brake failure during operation can result in serious injury or death. Properly
functioning brakes are vital to your safety. Be sure the brake pads do not drag
on the disc and that brake lever travel is not excessive. Always replace brake
pads when the brake pad material becomes thinner than 1/16 inch (1.5 mm).
BRAKE LEVER ADJUSTMENT
Timbersled snow bikes are equipped with a Brembo® Master Cylinder Hand
Brake. The level reach is adjustable to fit various rider hand sizes.
63
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
DO NOT adjust the brake lever closer than 1/2 in from the handlebar. Adjusting
the lever closer than 1/2 in could prevent the brakes from functioning properly
resulting in severe injury or death.
WARNING
Do not remove the brake lever boot.
1. Locate the adjustment knob qon the Brembo® brake assembly.
2. Turn the knob COUNTERCLOCKWISE to bring the lever CLOSER to the
handlebar.
3. Turn the knob CLOCKWISE to adjust the lever FARTHER from the
handlebar.
WARNING
Make sure the brake lever has adequate clearance to all other controls or
items attached to the handle bars. Also make sure the lever is clear of ice or
debris.
NOTICE
Do not attempt to force the adjustment screw beyond its limits.
64
MAINTENANCE
BRAKE COMPONENTS
qBrake Caliper
wBrake Pad Material
eBrake Disc
EXCESSIVE LEVER TRAVEL
Hydraulic brakes are self-adjusting, but if excessive brake pad clearance
develops, bring the snow bike to an authorized Timbersled dealer for inspection
and adjustment.
TIP
The lightweight brake discs have vent holes that may cause a high-pitched
sound during operation.
BRAKE FLUID
The brake fluid level can be seen through a plastic sight glass in the brake
reservoir. If the fluid is sufficient, the sight glass will be black. If the sight glass is
any color other than black, add brake fluid.
Replace brake fluid at least every two years with DOT 4 high temperature brake
fluid, or an equivalent product.
WARNING
After opening a bottle of brake fluid, always discard any unused portion. Never
store or use a partial bottle. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly
absorbs moisture from the air. The moisture causes the boiling temperature of
the brake fluid to drop, which can lead to early brake fade and the possibility of
accident or serious injury.
66
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Keep the master cylinder cover free of dirt and debris. The vent slits allow for
diaphragm movement, and if they become plugged, movement of brake fluid
below the diaphragm may be restricted, altering brake function.
NOTICE
Brake fluid will damage labels, paint and some plastics. Always wipe up spills
immediately.
BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM
Air in the hydraulic brake system will cause spongy brake lever action. If the
brakes feel spongy, bleed the system before operating the snow bike.
WARNING
Operating the vehicle with a spongy brake lever can result in loss of brakes,
which could cause an accident and lead to serious injury or death. Never
operate the vehicle with a spongy-feeling brake lever.
During the bleeding procedure, keep the brake handle as level as possible. The
reservoir must be in this position to minimize the possibility of air entering the
system through the reservoir vent.
1. Remove the brake master cylinder reservoir cover and gasket.
2. Fill the master cylinder reservoir to between the MIN and MAX marks or
1/4-5/16 inch (.6-.8 cm) below the lip of the reservoir opening. Reinstall the
gasket and cover.
3. Slip a rubber tube over the ball of the bleeder valve and direct the flow of fluid
into an approved container.
4. Squeeze the brake lever a full stroke. Then unscrew the bleeder valve 3/4 of
a turn to release air.
5. Close the bleeder valve and release the brake lever.
6. Repeat steps 4–5 until fluid flows from the bleeder valve in a solid stream
free of air bubbles.
WARNING
Overfilling the master cylinder leaves no room for fluid expansion and may
cause the brakes to lock, resulting in serious injury or death. Always add brake
fluid to the fill line as recommended.
67
MAINTENANCE
7. After bleeding is complete, refill the reservoir to the proper level.
8. Reinstall the gasket and cover.

DRIVE SYSTEM
DRIVE CHAIN TENSION
For long chain life and reliability, it is extremely important that you keep the drive
chain adjusted properly. Always check drive chain tension before riding.
IMPORTANT
TIMBERSLED SUSPENSION STRUT (TSS) MODELS: MUSTThe TSS be at
full extension and set to at least 200 PSI to measure and adjust drive chain
tension properly. To ensure the TSS is at full extension, remove all weight from
the shock by tipping the bike on its side or by using an appropriate stand to lift
the bike under its engine ensuring the track is suspended off the ground.
Inspecting and adjusting a chain without the suspension at full extension will
indicate a loose chain and lead to over-tensioning and excessive chain stretch
and wear.
NOTE
The drive chain may loosen on the first ride due to initial chain stretch and
slider break-in. Re-tighten drive chain after first few rides. If problem persists,
your dealer can assist.
MEASURING DRIVE CHAIN TENSION
To measure drive chain tension before riding:
1. Position your snow bike on an flat and even surface. Do not place a wheel kit
under the bike. Remove all snow and debris.
68
MAINTENANCE
ADJUSTING DRIVE CHAIN TENSION
To adjust drive chain tension, follow the steps below.
1. If the chain requires adjustment, loosen both 15 mm frame rail slide bolts r
located on the right side of the Timbersled frame.
2. Loosen the 13 mm inner jam nut yon the inner frame tension adjuster bolt
t.
70
MAINTENANCE
3. Adjust the tension adjuster bolt rin or out to achieve the correct chain
tension.
NOTICE
Turning the tension adjuster bolt counterclockwise tightens the chain tension.
Turning the tension adjuster bolt clockwise loosens the chain tension.
4. Re-torque the jam nut yto specification.

18.4 ft-lbs (25 N·m)
5. Re-torque the frame rail slide bolts rto specification.
TORQUE
Frame Rail Slide Bolts
36.9 ft-lbs (50 N·m)
6. Measure the drive chain’s displacement once again to ensure it is properly
adjusted.
If the chain is too tight and the frame is
difficult to compress, you may loosen
the front right-hand side panel bolt u
and the front right-hand frame bolt ito
allow the frame to slide easier.
Re-torque both bolts to 60 Nm prior to
tensioning the chain.
CHAIN CASE CHAIN TENSION
It is recommended that you measure the chain case chain tension each time the
chain is lubricated.
CAUTION
Do not over-tension the chain. Improper chain tension can cause excessive
wear to the chain and the tension roller bolt.
MEASURING CHAIN CASE CHAIN TENSION
To measure the chain case chain’s tension:
71
MAINTENANCE
1. Remove fasteners from chain case cover.
2. Position a ruler behind or in front of the right chord of the drive chain halfway
between the drive shaft sprocket rand the jack shaft sprocket w(this is
where the chain’s displacement should be measured). Position and steady
the ruler so it does not move as chain displacement is measured.
3. Choose a single chain link pin close to the ruler to use as a reference point
for measuring chain displacement. Push the chain’s right chord to the left
near the chosen link pin using 1 finger. Line up the 1 inch mark on the ruler
with the center of the chosen chain pin.
4. Then, without moving the ruler, push the chain’s right chord to the right with
one finger in the same location and count the number of ” marks between⅟₈
the 1 inch mark and the new position of the chosen chain pin.
If the chain is properly tensioned, there should be between ½ in and 3⁄ in
between the 1 inch mark (the position of the chosen chain pin when pressed
to the left) and the current position of the chosen chain pin (when pressed to
the right). This is the chain case chain’s displacement measurement q. If the
chain’s displacement measurement is less or more than ½” to 3 ”, the chain
tension needs to be adjusted (see Adjusting Chain Case Chain Tension).
ADJUSTING CHAIN CASE CHAIN TENSION
To adjust the chain case chain’s tension:

MAINTENANCE
TRACK TENSION
WARNING
Moving parts can cut and crush body parts. When performing the checks and
adjustments recommended on the following pages, stay clear of all moving
parts. Never perform track measurement or adjustments with the engine
running.
CAUTION
Always ensure proper track tension. Operating your snow bike with a too loose
or too tight track could cause the rails to pierce the track (stabbing). Stabbing a
track may result in bodily harm and / or damaged equipment.
Proper track tension adjustment is critical for proper snow bike handling. Always
maintain proper track alignment and tension. Each track is slightly unique and
will break-in a bit differently depending on where and how you ride.
Track tension warning signs:
Too loose: Track is skipping on the drivers.
Too tight: The rail sliders (hifax) are wearing quickly.
NOTICE
Before measuring and adjusting track tension, ensure the track is properly
aligned. For more information, see Track Alignment section.
