1996 ski-doo formula sl 500 fan cooled. just bought it for my wife, was wondering what is the minimum number of studs i can safely run on the track.

Depends on what you want to do with it. If you keep the same ski runners, go with 48. If it's for aggressive riding, gowith 96 to 144, then change the ski carbides to 6".
