Just picked up a sweet Hauck piped 2001 SX-R 700 and I need to put on a new track. I know I cannot do a studded 1.25" lugged track with the stock drivers, but can I do the 1.25" Camoplast Ice Ripper with the stock drivers and not tear up the heat exchanger? Just sold my Doo and I'm back on blue, yee ha!!! Thanks in advance.
Sent you a PM on this.

Don't waste your money on an Ice ripper. Had one on my LTX.

I have a ice ripper on my viper - it's not piped and I like riding a little looser than 144 studs - I think they are a great compromise between weight and traction. They are great on hard packed trails with occasional ice.
If you ride icy trails all of the time then a 1" predator and 144 studs are the most economical and probably a better set up all around for you.
The track I have is an ice ripper xt - they are single ply (lighter) and have more protruding carbide than the original ice ripper.
Also - I would think the traction requirements on an Apex and a piped sxr to be not similar in any way. Apex makes a huge amount of torque and weighs about 150 lbs more than a sxr.
Good job ditchin' your mustard bucket!
