studding RS nytro

[rancidjo]

I am doing a track upgrade on my 06 nytro this year most likely a 1.25 predator (six-pitch). Maybe a cobra but am not sure on the durability of the cobra. I would also like the option to stud.

Any one have any problems running studs on the Nytro? I am thinking of running 144 single/double pattern. Looking for any clearance/damage or vibration problems with this sled when studded

Studs

I run 96 1.425 down the middle. No probelms

did you add any material to your protectors?

Studs

Nothing. When I replaced my stock exhaust with the white knuckles I did notice I had a couple of light scratches under the tunnel from jumping and bottoming out. No problems though. Good hookup with 96.

Remember the rotating mass of adding more studs.........

I thought about going with the double backers and staying with the 96, but was talked out of it and ran the singles.

what was the reason of not going double backers

studs

as a matter of fact forgot I had this, but here are what I am running

Backers

spoke with reps and service techs at local shops and really inquired about the pros and cons of the doubles. More often than not I was talked out of them due to the fact that if you do start to pull through a stud you are going to have a huge hole in your track from having two coming out.

probably due to how I ride I, as the other post indicates, always have one or two studs get pulled. did not want to replace a track within a short time due to studs pulling through...... that was my reason.

96 for me- plenty of bite

 

[SansSouci]

144 singles and doubles down the center for two seasons----no problems.

what studs and backers are you running?

Well on the stock ripsnort I gots 144 double single 1.325 fasttracs with blue poly backers of course...

In my experience, I've found that I broke more studs that were secured with double backers.

My theory is that a stud secured with a double backer is stiffer and will not flex as much as a stud secured with a single backer. Thus the stud has a better chance of snapping off under pressure.

that is a good therory...

i don't mind snapping a couple of studs a year...better to replace a few $2 studs then tear out a $450 track...so that being said maybe it best to run all double backers...but i do like the look of the 144 double/single pattern, plus i have a template from a buddy i can use

I have 144 woody stainless 1.325s down the middle. All single backers. Lost one stud but it didn't tear the track and had one bent stud. I've had two seasons and 5000 kms on them and they've held up very well.

I have (had) 144 Woody's stainless studs down the center of my track using 48 double and 48 single backers.

After 3 years and 9000km of riding with them, here are my results:

- I've probably had to replace approximately 40-50 studs so far.
- Most of the replacing occured where there were double backers. The studs had snapped off.
- I have 2 holes in my track due to stud pull through. Both holes occured where I had mounted a single backer. No stud pull throughs occured where there was a double backer.
