2024 Arctic Cat Catalyst 'Chassis' details?
The key IMO is getting them early BEFORE they start spinning. Especially the shitty ones that have a really loose fit to start right from factory. Many are decent and you get away with doing nothing, but the bad ones from zero miles are going to fail if not services. Even then they just keep wearing the inner race of the bearing. Love or hate the 2 fixes that Barn of Parts offers >they do work especially if you start from zero miles with the shaft savers. Precision offers a nice fix for the shaft issue also. When installing the shaft savers you MUST normalize the bearing to the shaft. Small short torques with a torque wrench while spinning the track in between torques. Have personally seen brake caliper wobble from not normalizing/seating bearing onto shaft as your installing shaft saver. I like to split the brake caliper and leave the inner half on shaft with shaft saver installed. Then carefully pull seal on bearing and spray out with brake cleaner and re grease, install brake outer half and bleed the brake. Done. IF you run a banjo string tight track it does help and even prevent bearing from slipping on shaft some. Its not going to cure the really shitty fitted ones from new though. If you pull the brake rotor off(after splitting brake) and check the inside that seats against the bearing it will have a deep groove worn right into the metal on ones that have been slipping for many miles. Seen it so bad that the brake rotor is very hard to get off. Want to add the stock bearing is not terrible. The seal is the issue on this bearing. Its a shitty seal IMO. KOYO is my go to for a bearing on the shaft. MUCH better seal IMO PICTURE This groove/wear on the inside of rotor is dead give away your bearing is spinning on the shaft.

Been through this and had a failure at 7K the fucking ball bearing came right out of the bearing. Felt a major pulse on the break . Pulled over and bearing under brake. Shut it down and towed. Seen a 8000 with 120 miles on it completely worn shaft toast. The fit was so bad it would never make 1000 miles. ALSO seen some with 5-10K with no issues. The ones with no issue rust to the shaft usually. What happens is the bearing is neglected and then it sits and water and dirt get past the cheap ass seal. Then when the sleds put back into action the bearing spins on the shaft because its got rust and crude inside. IF you service this bearing EVRY year your fine. maybe. Works best to just split the brake, especially if you have one that's rusted on or has a tighter fit. Pop seal clean out and re grease with a LOW TEMP grease. Seen this go both ways and the best is if you can catch them early or start with a fix when new. Once they start slipping it just goes to shit pretty quick. They eventually will fail that bearing. Rust is your friend on this fit. Service the bearing yearly your fine. Most/ average guys are not going to split the brake or remove and service this bearing.

Does nothing. The slip fit eventually slips and eats lock tight. Terrible design and been that way since 2012. Total garbage

Get em the Fuck outta here....Most Americans support Mass deportations !
Make the "other" party look bad at all costs. Been going on for 20+ years. Just gotten really bad when they started taking shots at each other on national TV and social media. Anyone ever notice all the sound bites from each side is always negative and aimed at discrediting the other side. BOTH parties do it. Just they have gotten more nasty and personal about it. No rules , just lie and discredit at deny deny deny, deflect
