I am looking into this track for my srx700.

I have gotten mixed comments about the maximum lug height I can run without modifying the sled (eg - removing protectors)

This track is 121x15 with a 1 1/4 inch lug height, with the carbide studs pre-installed

Please post any comment you have...
 
I'd say with front and tunnel and rear protectors, you should be fine. Just keep your track on the tight side, or go to 8 tooth drives. Maxdlx
 
Hey

Yeah you should be good. I have a 1" track that works great but has no studs. I wish now I went with the track your going to get, just keep the track tight and you should be fine...

I have been running a 1 1/4 9818 for 2 years in my SRX. Worst it could do is rub on your protecters. Some say they clip the track, But just a few high speed runs and she's trimmed on her own.

what he said. I just let mine rub on the protectors and they eventually wear in, and then you still have all that protection ;)!
 
It's easier to change to the 8 tooth drivers while you have the drive axle out already. I know you can let it rub until it trims the lugs down, but why take a chance of tearing off a heat exchanger protecter and creating more damage, or BIGGER problems. My advice is do it the right way, and drop from 9 tooth, to 8 tooth drivers and keep your track in like new condition. I think you'll want to add some regular studs to that track after you ride it for a while. It's just not the same, no matter what they tell you from the factory! Good luck with whatever you decide to do. Viperlover
 
I have a 99 SRX and I replaced the track last year with a 1 1/4 lug ripsaw. I wanted to stud this track and I felt that the clearance was to close to use the stock 9 tooth drivers. I installed a new axle with 8 tooth drivers and 144 studs. This really woke the sled up!!!I am really pleased with the results, it is an awesome trail machine!!!
 
problem with 8 tooth drivers is that its a pain to correct the gearing for high speed riding. for yamaha gears, the best you could do with 8 tooth drivers is 23/37 for a 1.82 ratio. stock srx ratio with 9 tooth drivers is 1.65
