I'm sure your procross did too.

2024 Sleds... what's coming
I'm still trying to picture how this works. Do they have days they let Yamaha run the line? Or does the guy call in the blue orders?

2024 Sleds... what's coming
Heard they will have a retro look this year. Red and white. Maybe Cat will give them a 800 procross riot? Yami seems to like to introduce some minor tweak each year. Hard to see them putting a different engine in the old chassis. If Cat couldn't get the 800 together for the catalyst, they aren't going to be ready for a yamaha in it.

2024 Arctic Cat Catalyst 'Chassis' details?
Nothing but procross left. One 7000, one 9000, the rest 8000. Mostly the mountain sleds.

Still one blast model left for ordering. No other kids sleds.

Are they going to make any for dealers to sell?

I saw a Cat branded one in January in the UP.

2024 Arctic Cat Catalyst 'Chassis' details?
Yep, I'd prefer not to pay extra for it, and it's a hassle to deal with maintaining the battery. Plus you'd think if Cat was looking at every way to lose weight, that's an easy one. At least until the next lawsuit so they can get the SHOT thingy from doo. If it came down to paying for better shocks (say what they put on the sno pros around 2018 over the lxr ifp specials) or estart, I'd take the better shocks all day long.

What does Yamaha head of production for snowmobiles do? Pick out decals?

More taxes and centralized control will fix the weather!

Mid Sized Sleds... and Cain's Quest
I've seen blast on the trails in the 3 years or so they've been out. They've sold out every year but that doesn't mean much since textron can't or won't make many of them. Agree they would sell a lot if they were allowed to sit on a dealer's floor. Family is up riding and wouldn't it be nice to get something newer for the kids to ride? I almost bought an evo one year in July that way. Wish I would have. I'm not a doo guy but I think the neo is a better concept at the price point but I haven't ridden either.

Getting that time of year....predictions on 2024 snowmobiles.
Yamaha's production line manager? So a textron employee?

Rock Auto
Was kind of pissed when the rotors I ordered from rockauto were chinese, but with the shipping involved, I installed them anyway. Should have double checked ahead of time.

Hate to see it. Figure the US can't be that many years behind.

That's great. That guy makes me not want to buy a cat.

Saw improved cooling mentioned. That's been an issue with the procrosses in our group.

U.S. gives Chevron go ahead to pump oil in Venezuela again
That's the key point - if production is done overseas, it helps the earth.

Apple working for Xi
The point is that is how the protestors were sharing info off the grid and apple put an end to that

Let King of the Hill begin!
First broken bone was playing king of the hill in 2nd grade. Didn't stand a chance.

The Oil and Gas president back at it again
We need more refining capacity more than additional oil generation. Companies aren't going to invest in long term production when the govt couldn't be more clear about its intentions.

Unfortunately this seems to be fake news.

2024 Arctic Cat Catalyst 'Chassis' details?
Yep that's my issue with the 137 too. The racewerx coupler block helped but it still isn't as good as the 129.
-
2024 Arctic Cat Catalyst 'Chassis' details?
Me too. I have a 137 and prefer the 129 on my riding bud's sled. At least on the cats it's better in more situations for me. Would also like to get track choices but that might be asking too much from cat.
