436 Studs

[ReX]

I actually found the opposite to be true with my 05 RX-1 (same tunnel, suspension and Ripsaw track). With no studs it vibrated terribly, but when I installed 144 using the Woodies pre-studded pattern (48 double's, 48 singles) the vibration went away.

My 07 RTX also has no vibration with the same stud pattern, even when I was running stock drivers. It is now running Skidoo anti-ratchet drivers and I'd say if anything there is slightly more vibration (still not bad though).

I think this is one of those things that somehow varies from sled to sled - why I really have no idea...

I had the same results as you.

Anybody else have any opinions on tall nuts? I am installing a pre drilled rip saw as we speak. I was planning on using the medium tall nuts, the smaller of the 2 choices, as I am running woodys 1.450 studs. I would rather replace studs then have them tear through.

I run the tall nuts on my double backers but I'd be concerned about pull throughs on singles....

I have 144 Woodys down the middle all on angled double backers with the tall nuts and get O vibration on my 06 ER.

I have 144 Woodys down the middle all on angled double backers with the tall nuts and get O vibration on my 06 ER.

Be careful to make sure there are no angled doubles right down the middle.

The angled backers always leave the head of the stud protruding a little and these grind away, very quickly, at the top eyelet on the monoshock.

You can run the angled backers every where else (as far as I'm aware).

I run 144 Woodys with tall nuts down the middle with pre drilled,fully clipped ,48 double backers with no problems or vibrations in 1,000 miles. Not near as much traction as the 168 pattern!!! I also use 6 Bombardier idler wheels.

next track going with the ice ripper

I have the same track as ReX and noticed that I had a bit more vibration after I studded but not enough to complain about.

I run the same pattern and same backers as ReX.


When I ran the track without studs, it was super smooth.

I noticed you are running Hornets. My first setup was using Gold Diggers and I just picked up 144 Hornets for my new track. The Hornets are a lot longer, even though they are spec'd the same.

Installed, it looks like there is close to 1/4" more penatrations - so much that I'm concerned a little about rubbing the tunnel.

I wonder if the longer studs cause more of a vibration. I guess I'll find out fairly soon...

new to yamaha, always ran doo's my yamaha experience has been great 1600 miles, but i put 180 1.325 woodie megabit doubles tall nuts down the middle and notice a viberation at around 60 and gets worse the faster i go i was wondering if the ballon effect from only having studs in the middle. nothings hitting, checked idle wheels, all are good. ran this combo on last 3 doos one 192 down middle other one 144 and had no problem. i rode a 06 gt and didn't notice it but its short track and singles all the way across. like studs though for traction, not sure what to do, any suggestion

I have bad vibrations using double backers on the Yamaha's. Maybe its just my pattern, I don't know. But using fully clipped tracks and ski-doo extros on the turbo sleds there is none. I think its due to the yamaha drive wheels being machined at the center of the sprockets and its suspension, I don't know for sure. When we studded my neighbors RX-1 using the same pattern and double backers I have used forever on the Cats, he said it ruined a nice smooth sled. After 2000 miles, (and cracks in the tunnel from vibration) he has taken them all out and is back to a smooth, vibration free ride again. Also he picked up 5 MPH to boot. Same thing with my wife's Attak. I had 144 all double backed studs including the outside band and you would swear it has a couple rods hanging out of the engine it vibrates so bad. I pulled all the outside studs and backers hoping it would help, leaving 108 in place down the center and it still vibrated bad, it wasn't any better. Take them out and the vibration is gone. Using all singles and there is no vibration. I put 700 miles on the new iceripper XT sharp stud on my Attak so far, and love it. I'll never stud again after using this track. To give up 5 MPH using 144 studs is just asking to much, as well as the threat of throwing them thru the heat exchanger. That is why I don't like single backers too, they just don't have the traction or support of double backers.

Ive got 7000 miles on my apex gt with the original track with double backers.. No vibration here..

Now thats funny !! He must be studding for a hole shot on dirt ! He must be trying to engage it around
7,500 and this is his answer to a spinning issue !

Results snow cone maker with no top end on ice !
