Studding 96 or 144

[dzglaser21]

Just need to know which way to set it up. I have heard with 144 it the back end runs to tight and with 96 i will rip them out. I will be doing it tomorrow so any quick input would be greatly appreciated

I went with what my dealer recommened. 144 down the middle. They stated the there have been some problems with studding on the outside.

I also put in 144 but I did put 48 of them on the outside. 96 is a bad idea. Understudding is worse than overstudding because there will be more stress on each stud.

put a min.of 144 down the center, I put 192 down center. Hooks great.

For regular trail riding I would go with 96 first. Try it and see if you like it. If you need more then you can add to the patern another 48 to get your 144.

I have 96 and have not had any problems . 1.325's and some woody big nuts.

You can go with 96 (probably not enough) and then go to 144 if needed...However, IMO I would NOT recommend studding the outside. I've ruined a few tracks that way. Too much stress on the small strip of track on the outside, especially if you're riding the least bit aggressively or sliding through icy corners.

On a short track, I'd do 144 - including outer belts.

If you are looking for safety when those icy conditions sneak up on you and you aren't the type that constantly mashes the throttle from a dead stop then 96 is fine.

BUT if you are looking at studs for better traction & holeshot first and safety second then 144 is the better choice.

Ditto....had 96 on my 2003 RX1 and pulled 96 out of my 2005 which came with 192.

96 works great....just enough traction for safety and hookup but still not enough to prevent you from sliding it around a corner if you want to....

Ive got 144 down the middle because every time ive pulled a stud or ripped a track its been in the outer belt.I dont spin my track wildly either ,well only when drag racing
