Stud length

[Blown Up]

What length studs can you run with the 1.25 track. Stud boy says 1.375, but I am going to turbo and wondered if can run 1.5 for better bite? I don't want to run too long and damage anything.

I have 160 1.5" studboys in mine. 650 miles so far. None bent or broke yet and no issues with clearance. I wouldn't even bother with 1.375" studs with this track. If you plan on studding and are looking for best traction go 1.5"

1.45" in my ltx, 144 of them

Great. I was worried the 1.5 power point plus might be a little long but want good hook for the turbo. Glad to hear people are running them with no problems.

 

[Studroes144]

Is there a specific reason u are using power point plus studs? They are specific for single ply tracks.

I thought the ripsaw 2 on the viper ltx was a single ply?

 

[skidooslayer687]

Nope 2 ply I believe... correct me if Im wrong

It says on yamaha "all new ripsaw II single ply track on the 2014 viper ltx".
Would like to know for sure so I can get the right studs on order. I will call the dealer to see if they know.

I know the track on mine is a 2 ply, compared it side by side to my buddies 1200 doo with the single ply track... Can definitely tell the difference in the thickness... My understanding was the rtx and ltx ran double ply, the xtx ran the single ply 1.6"... This was an issue with misinformation from the get go I believe, I had the same issue as you did with trying to find out what studs to order.

My ltx is 2 play. Just look at the very edge of the track. If you see only 1 threaded line in the center of the track it's single ply, if you see 2 threaded lines it's 2 ply. You can see this on the very edge of the track or the edges of the windows

You can run the PP+ on a 2 ply track no problem.... they just cost more and the heads are bigger.

Yes if you have already bought them just use them they'll be fine. If you need to buy them yet go with the standard power point studs. Less money, less weight, less rotating mass.
