The configuration of lug studs or holes on a wheel hub, which dictates the wheel’s fitment, is a critical specification for the Kawasaki Teryx. It is defined by two numbers: the number of studs/holes and the diameter of the circle they form. For example, a configuration designated as 4×137 indicates four studs arranged on a circle with a diameter of 137 millimeters. This measurement ensures that wheels are securely attached to the vehicle.
Correct wheel fitment is paramount for safe operation and optimal performance. An incorrect wheel mounting can lead to vibration, premature wear of components, and, in extreme cases, wheel separation. Understanding the specified configuration prevents the use of incompatible wheels, safeguarding the vehicle and its occupants. Historically, changes in this specification have been driven by factors such as increased vehicle weight, improved braking systems, and advancements in wheel design.
