GreenStreak Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I know my f8 is not all that so let's not go there. But WTF was cat thinking putting a 1 in track on a 800 Sno Pro? I need studs this thing is so squirrely it's spins everywhere even though it's only a hundred and forty horse. What do you guys suggest for studs I'm only doing minimal in the center. What have you guys used on your Twin Spars thay worked in the past? BTW, black Cats FTMFW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckf Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Have you tried adjusting the suspension for more rear weight transfer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anler Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Just do 2 per bar in the center belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmo Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 That 1 inch track was for speed. Beyond trail riding it’s worthless. I’d put at least 3 studs per bar, more of you want them on the outside. Or just get the ripsaw 2. So much better all around track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1jkw Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I probably have some like new carbide tipped studs I'd sell cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ez ryder Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 what ever studs are on sale will do the job . I always ran twin hole backers for studs when I ran studs . way less chance for pullout and bending still for avrage trail running 2 studs,per bar would be fine did you soften the rear springs a bit and tighten the front skid shock a few turns ? and or loosen the limmiter strap1 hole to get a bit more transfer ? May help till you get studs in it then find a used pipe and y pipe for that thing you need no fuel box and will get you to the 155ish HP range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard of that and never even seen it recommended. Not calling you a liar but no pipe maker for that motor states you can run it without fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f7ben Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Our Fatt Azz single pipes fit right into the stock muffler or our lightweight muffler. Bolt on 15-17 horsepower when used with our high flow manifold! This pipe has a lot of grunt and makes peak power at 7700-7800 RPM. It also works awesome with big bore motors. Power Commander fuel controller required. For best results use our Stage 2 Clutch Kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ez ryder Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I bought it from my bud he set it up . I honestly can't remember if they did anything with the head or timing I don't think so but not 100% it was set up for 660feet but I ran it as a trail sled for a yr then my wife ran it for a yr . I sold it to a bud and as of last winter I know it was still being used as a guest sled in Cable WI with like 8k on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the beginning they just bumped fuel pressure and let it run fat down low. It was adequate for top end fueling. You probably would have never even seen it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the 1 3/8 Cobra on mine and it was total night and day difference to the stock 1 inch ripsaw 1 that was on the demo that I rode . Should be able to find a lightly used 1 1/4 rip2 for a decent price . The cobra's work well but they do not hold up well under low snow and rocky shit . If you swap it getthe updated carriage bolt ring that goes in the front as the 07 and 08's rubbed on the track 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done probably close to 80k miles in my life I'll stick with using studs. I seen retards all over in the rhubarb this past week. One with use with a shitty pre studded track spinning away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
