f7ben Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Well just got the call from dealer. It's a mapping issue and arctic cat is well aware of this issue but as of now they have No fix. They recommend after long speed runs to not come to a fast stop. They said come down to normal speed and to give some gas as to burn off the fuel in the can. Even to use brake and gas at same time so it burns off b4 stopping. I'm gonna make a claim thru cat for new side panel due to the discoloration but they won't cover my wrap that I have on the sled. So expect a service advisory coming up at sometime but not anytime soon. .......??? THEY WANT YOU TO RIDE YOUR BRAKE AND THROTTLE FOR A WHILE BEFORE STOPPING YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME BWAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Arctic Cat Quality http://www.hardcoresledder.com/forums/493-procross-2012/1794898-2018-zr-8000-shooting-flames-weekend-3.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambroski Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Lake racers everywhere are LOSING THEIR MINDS!! And who the fuck rides their brake to come to a slow stop? I rarely even use mine and I'm no tool out there running 8299 on the RPM guage on an 800. Also, if you don't know to come to a slow stop while burping the throttle after a long run on a two stroke, you should read how two stroke engines operate (and cool). Still, this is ghey....clearly the map is stuffing too much fuel in the mils if it is burning up in the pipe. It's like a "hot start" button taped down.

Dude......I had no idea this was a thing......I was entertaining myself last night reading all the threads about the fucked up mapping and the flame thrower cats They do it at all different times etc....warm cold , fast .. slow etc etc . Some are starting the panels on fire holy fuck I almost died laughing The fact that Cat advised a dealer to tell a customer to "Ride his brake and throttle for a bit before coming to a stop" shows just how fucking pathetic they are If I owned one of these fucking abortions I'd make zero effort to put out any fire......let the fucking thing burn. I'd also make little effort to prevent myself from being injured. Fuck Cat , apparently they need to be sued for burning people before they get their retarded heads out of their ass. I have never seen a sled do anything remotely close to what these fucking things are doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen a sled do anything remotely close to what these fucking things are doing I think it's fairly old news. I haven't kept up with it too much. I'd still own one before a Poo though. Poo's fires were killing and maiming people with their SXS models so, they got their millions of recalls (and massive valuation hit in the market) with that. Poor poo guys. Now, that tinker toy rear end is about to have a two for a dollar sale. I'd still own a Cat over a Poo (not a purple one). Did Poo race SX this weekend or were they sitting it out in protest because they can't force ISOC to make more rules favoring them at the end of the season...but they're working something up for next year!!!!

Sorry. Didn't mean to throw Poo shade on ya? You know, I'm going to recommend you to the HCS "Poo-laiders" for induction into their FanBoi band. They could really use some new wit there defending their brand. They've become pretty dull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not making excuses. Sorry to rain on the Poo parade though. Hey...but be honest, the reason you haven't had to follow any protocol is because you ride like Granny Hawkins and don't know what dangers lie in each brand. How often did you check crank run out in that doo? You gonna start checking for piston wash in that poo? Are you capable of doing either? If you ride hard, these are things you should clearn to keep an eye on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a single brand that doesn't have it's own form of hell. When Cat couldn't figure out clutching...I can and the expense to go aftermarket was worth it to attach it to a mil and chassis that is tough and proven on the track. For Poo guys, the ergos and other stuff is worth dropping whatever piston "dependability kit" in it every so often and dealing with glued, thin bulkheads for weight savings. For Doo, well...I'll stick to my claim that I feel they are still the most reliable and dependable sleds on snow...and resales dictate that, HOWERVER, I still would be checking the crank run out because I feel the etec system still runs the crank too hot and now they are having their own clutching problems (for some weird reason). And again....thin bulkheads. Plus...their sleds offer a strange "disconnect" from the trails. Hard to explain what that means so, I won't. Pick the brand that works for you.

Well that's just part of snowmobiljng for cat riders! Of course it is...fuck the majority of sleds I've owned over the years have been Cats and have seen a lot of their crapola but nothing like this. Hell I had a 98 ZRT 800 that I tried to lift by the front bumper and I ended up holding the bumper and hood while the rest of the sled stayed on the ground...... no fires though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
