    I'll dig around and find you some of my ice racing limiter straps.  You haven't seen a hot mess yet...

    Nice!  Did you buy an old race sled?

    No, it was a factory demo sled I shit you not.

  2. OK quick update. Pulled suspension out to look it over again and noticed that I had limiter straps over the front crossbar. I had taken the crossbar out - only then realizing I did not have to. Must have been late night when I put those on. Either way just wanted to update you all and thank you for your help figuring it out.

  3. Hey all, I reinstalled my rear skid after getting shocks rebuilt but the front of my track is pretty high in the air. Would it just be that the limiter straps need adjusting? They are at same hole I had before shock rebuild. Just seeing what you guys think?

  4. Could be more disappointment in Cat from loyalists like myself, than anytime I can remember.  And let's not forget that even if some of those complaining would not buy a 2024 - they may eventually buy a new sled  and if they aren't excited about anything coming down the pike as a used sled they may jump ship.  It's pretty hard watching Textron f*k things up like this.  When they first bought Cat they talked about taking over Polaris in the UTV market - I heard it first hand at Hay Days.  Textron was so smart too that they thought their name should be on the machines....but a year or two later...they learned the hard way.  And since then it seems like they gave up pushing dirt products hard and are settling to just be a Yamaha of the sled market.  And that is bullshit imo.

    A real die hard wouldn't bitch about it.  By definition, they cannot be a die hard.  

    Your 720 is not a Suzuki, sorry.

    I don't see why you people care so fucking much about what cat is doing.  If you don't like the sleds, don't fucking buy them.  But why bitch about them then?  Just buy something else!  Do you know how many things in this world I don't buy because I don't like it or have no use for it?  For fuck sake.  Get over it.  If you think cat sucks that's great, why do you have to talk about it all day?  Do you just like to focus on negative shit or what?

    It is what it is and they are what they are.

    I already know the response.. "because I want to see cat do good".  Which is a bullshit emotional response.  Just like whatever you like.  If you think a brp or a Polaris is cool, just like whatever you think is cool.  

     

    You literally asked Cat guys why they care so much about what Cat is doing???  WTF kind of question is that?!!!!!!!!!!

    If no one cared they wouldn't be hoping for Cat to come out with something good every year.

    Do you frikn understand Cat has had probably the most loyal customer base next to John Deere for the last 60 years?!!

    Currently Textron is fucking that up and some of us are not happy about it.  How is that so hard to understand???

    Do you think Cat loyalists just sit mindfully with no opinion about what the brand they love should do??

    Your rant above was the stupidest thing someone has said on here.

    Demand has been up on powerspors

    Demand has been up on powersports this year?  Whowoudathunkit Marge?  That's amazing.  Of course they had to increase production.  And when some fucking idiot decided spring order only for sleds was a good idea then the only brand without sleds to sell when demand in season has been at record highs is arctictex.  Fucking genious.

    Been putting on miles the last three weeks and cat riders of all shapes and sizes asking questions saying they are finally so fucking fed up that they are ordering a Doo or Poo or Lynx for next season.  These are the last of the ultimate diehards of diehards ready to hang up the green bibs. 

    I agree, the double edge sword or spring order only is that you can't sell sleds when there is snow on the ground.  And even having leftovers does allow a manufacturer to get a guy on their brand.  No sleds to sell in season means less sales.

    The demand for products made at the Thief River Falls Arctic Cat manufacturing plant – the products include snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles and side-by-sides – is strong, and the company has had to increase production to keep up with it, said Gunnar Kleveland, president and CEO of Textron Specialized Vehicles, the parent company of Arctic Cat.
