Put on 108 1.35 studs ( bought used, about 200 miles on them, don't remember the brand) with Airlite plastic backer in a repeating (8)V pattern into a Ripsaw on my Attak last week. I have the usual studded track vibration now . Starts at 50 mph and gets worse as the speed goes up.
My buddy with an Apex has a 1" Predator track with the same brand of stud and backer. Drove his sled and did not notice a studded track vibration.
Wondering if the Ripsaw is too light or soft of a track and will this vibration cause any unwanted damage to the suspension?
All the wheels and bearings are good including the driveshaft and jackshaft bearings and there are no cracks or broken welds in the suspension.

You sure it's not just a belt? Had a funny vibration out of nowhere. Changed the belt and it was gone. Also was the reason I lost about 400 r's
Tried a new belt. Nothing changed.Checked the clutch bearings as well. All is good in there.

what did you find causing the vibration
i have a 2009 apex ltx 136 and it vibrates 60 and above
i can feel it in my feet
since this vibration i took it to pats yamaha and they tried a bunch of stuff and suggested a few things
so i changed drivers/track to a ice attak /secondary jackshaft bearing/driveshaft bearing/all wheels/looked at all wheels for contact at lugs
ran tight track/loose track/changed both primary and secondary clutches with my other apex 121 /chain case all looked good when apart/
added 4th wheel kit/new dupont hyfax/pulled limiter up 2 holes
no changes still vibrats the same
thanks for any help or ideas

Trying to remember. It was 7 years ago that I posted this question.
Since this post I have changed track, all drive line bearing, updated skid wheels, driveshaft, duponts and the list goes on.
I do still get a vibration in the floor boards at a certain speed. I just chalked it up to be a 136 track thing with this chassis.

A lot of times when running studs if trail has ice base you get vibration. Studs act like a mud tire on truck.
