Premium Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 3 hours ago, Doug said: Good post. We use to have 3-4 diehard Cat guys in our group and it was always fun to line them up or which off sleds because each manufacturer did offer some good features. One by one the Cat diehards have now purchased either Polaris or Doo and the last Cat rider we had purchased a Polaris once he seen nothing new appeared to be coming and couldn't be ordered until April when the other manufacturers programs were over. I don't want to only see only 2 manufacturers either because they use to push each other on technology. If Arctic Cat was coming out with something new you would have thought you would have seen some teasers to entice the diehard's to hang on. Yep. I'm certainly not going to sit here and claim it was all roses and sunshine before the Textron acquisition. Arctic Cat had it's issues. I've conceded over and over that demanding a product release prematurely can be hugely detrimental in the long term (ah-em...the 2012/2013 Procross). However, this lack of new product is extreme. Correcting the financial mistakes of the past is paramount; but you must also balance that with the passion, culture, experience, and expertise that built the brand's cult following. Textron has gutted all of it. Now, there's ZERO to show for it except over-priced youth sleds with no innovative full-size halo flagships to aspire to. Textron has 'saved' the Arctic Cat name....and eviscerated everything that made Cat great. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) To be clear I do applaud the youth focus in general, we need to keep the sport we all love alive. Textron, make me eat crow.

You've mentioned that Country Cat is your dealer. Can you imagine their pain over the last 5 years? Jim, Regardless of what you do, you are buying a dead end product. It'll be replaced with a new chassis, or Cat will continue to decline and you'll have trouble getting parts and dealer support. Either way, it is a dead end product. Why would any dealer want to sell Cat products? Maybe if they were being sold cheaper than Poo or Doo....but at the same price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Country cat is not my dealer but they sell more sleds than you can count to. I have never had any of my cats to the dealer for any work because I take care of them. Last cat that I had warranty work done on was a 1998 ZL 500. Dead end is any conversation with idiots like you who think they know everything but in reality have no clue. My dealer used to sell Doo, but they don't sell here so he dropped them about 15 years ago. Edited March 19, 2022 by ZR6000RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what color, you have to clean after break in. Did it to both my black pro cross and will p tdd probably do it several on my green RR. Spring thing. I cleaned this like 300-350 miles ago. The gray was just as bad, and the exhaust with side would need to be cleaned up on the belly pan too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
