Just at the dealer today asked about what came on skis for stock runners, tech said dual 4" carbide. Anyone know for sure? Didn't expect that thought maybe 2" and zero. I'm planning on riding it all stock to start and go from there.

I would guess it would be same as vipers were. 1 4ish inch and one runner. Don't plan on using them stock ones long. They will be toast in no more then 300mi.

The Sidewinder's that I've set together have had 4" of carbide per runner.

Yes that's what the tech told me, 2-4" per ski. Should be able to put a few miles on those. My past experience with Yamaha stock runners is there gone in 300 miles.

Dealer told me there come ing with 4 and 4 as well. I think I'm going to give snow trackers a go I'm studding as well
Or I've have good experience with stud boy shaper bars. If none of those work, the new skis I was suggested curve xs seems to be the best.

You can't do more then 144 down the middle I'm running the outside too 4 per row. 2 of the same exact sleds with one studded on the outside will toast the sled studded only in the middle I've always studded the outside and I haven't had any problems with mine . I don't keep a sled long enough to worry about the track if I kept it for 10 years maybe I'd worry about it but for the 5 years max I'll ride it should be fine
