I managed to concentrate long enough to find an announcement about leadership changes, but no details, and then Jennifer said enough.

There's brand loyal but ramstad takes it to a new level. They could produce a literal bag of shit and he'd order 3 then tell everyone it's worth the wait to get his because they fit his exact needs and desires. FWIW the tread is pretty nice, and does a good job of integrating your phone, blue tooth earbuds/headset, and plotting all the members of your group. You guys haven't seen the picture the new cat gauge yet?? 1 hour ago, wrinkly balls said: At this rate they might not release the 23's till April 15th!!!! There is no official date yet...

Thank god I DGF about brands, like I said till one of those fawckers buys me a sled I owe them nothing and they owe me everything.

No way to know when this madness will end. Agreed 100%. And it's good of your dealer to hang on to that sled for you. If you had to snow check a '23, You can be guaranteed that prices will go up, there will be surcharges, and iffy delivery timelines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking delivery of your 2012 in 2023. Nice move. Like how you add the copy of the Poo gauge in the tread to make yourself feel better. Perhaps you should be pissed....or smart enough to realize there are other brands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well my first Pro Cross was a 15 and the difference between that and my 18 was light years. My 20 was even better. More refined if you will. I had a Nuvi in a water proof bag and it sucked. Now I have the best of both worlds. Garmin, known for quality and the ability to take it to any ride I want. Polaris? Not been a good year for quality for them and the Tesla quote from the Lesters should be making you want to run from the big new gauge they have, with no inside GPS btw. You are a true loser. To me there are no other brands because my dealer is that good and Cat is in my blood. Never going to change for you deep craving. To much love of what I pay for. BTW? How is this a copy of Poo's gauge? This is much better. Adaptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some, and I mean some, but most of these children think they should get a paycheck for breathing. California lifestyle. New York living. Not everyone is living in your neighborhood.

You are running your new Poo or Doo with new plastic and nothing else and acting like it is new. It's not. Just the same old shit they have been producing for years. I will take Cats approach of refinement. I like to ride, not sit at a dealer and bitch about the new crap breaking. Two different worlds. Common sense to your stupidity!

Deephaven Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Lol. Backwards refinement fits you. Zuke > Ctec. The other "refinements" are pointless...as they didn't fix the core problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Core problem? Bullet proof to, shit! My primary fell off in the mountains. My 850 blew up for no reason. My seat is to hard! They no longer make the zuke so get over it! Fuck you are DUMB!

Ziemann Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I don't know that there was ever a better 800 class engine than the Suzuki 800. It was the benchmark that everyone was striving to beat. Bulletproof. Versus the flame thrower 800 that goes down that dealers can't get parts for half of the time? Cat's 600 has a great track record. The C-tec2 800 has had how many reflashes and revisions in it's short lifespan thus far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their the only manufacture that holds their snowcheck program open for 5 months. Polaris had more revisions to the first year dragon 800, than cat has had on all 800 engines since 2003 combined. Lets not forget that there was a single remap to the gen 1 ct2 800 to fix a rich issue causing flames from the exhaust, and 0 revisions for longevity or durability. Gen II came about in 2020 to lower emissions, and was/is more reliable than any year 800, or 840 poo. Somewhere after that a beancounter at textron, or QC managed to screw the pooch, and the "great deal" they got on injectors didn't turn out too well. That combined with the jerk-offs at team changing the spider shimming to try and keep their junk clutches from getting hot and exploding (over-revving, doesn't help) Causing a higher percentage of engine failures than any other AC product in the last 20 years. Still not as high as any poo engine over 600 cc, but higher than what AC riders have come to expect... AC released a flash to fix it, and is putting complete engines in any sled that has an issue.
