Rw06GT Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 2 hours ago, Highmark said: QC has always been an issue with Cat. I'm sure they learned from the requirements Yamaha put on them. As far as clutching I think its Team that helped them. I've had/have 4 procross chassis sleds. 12xf turbo, two turbo xtx vipers and now a sidewinder xtx. There have been tons of chassis improvements since Yamaha got involved. Better fasteners, bearings(no more plastic cages), general build quality... The new bodywork is off in 30 seconds and a change to riv-nuts makes the belly panels removal another minute. Doesn't make getting to shit any easier tho, everything is packed pretty tight. Cat does their own thing for clutching so no yammie involvment there. I believe the recall was for a poorly machined casting that was cutting something but didn't pay much attention to it. I had good luck with my sled but some have had belt issues. Literally snapping them in half. The fix is on TY if you have problems. Any plans for adding power? There's some good stuff coming out this year. I think I'm going to run Hurricanes 280 tune. You're going to love those qs3r shocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even includes a blank protest sign. I just don't need an 800. If the Snoxers and XC guys can clutch the 600's to work for them...I know I can. Don't think I even hit more than 70-75 MPH on any of my rides. it's corner to corner up and down 30-70 all day baby!!!! My current sled is a fucking bitch to control now.

If we do, I hit 60 and just "one arm it". I'm not usually dressed for that shit..freeze my nutolas off! In the woods is where I play...and shit.

Why do I feel like you already know all this from "next door"? We have a few giant lake crossings, one is a good 30 minutes, so you better be dressed for that shit But once you get to the other side ,it's endless forest trails...like what you ride. Lots of wooded areas ,switchbacks,liberal protesters, and shit like that As for already knowing your style.....it's still fun to talk sleds and trash eachother in the the process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't even bother screwing with it. Stud it, oil it, ride it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
