Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted February 28, 2017 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) One of these for sale locally and wondering if anybody has owned, rode or knows anything about them. Starting to realize that most of my future riding is going to be more trail and xcountry oriented rather than in the deeper stuff so looking at this sled or SnoPro 600 XC. I know what the spec sheets say just looking for some insight. Edited February 28, 2017 by Biggie Smails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I have only ridden the turbo rr for a long period of time. It was awesome and the shock package reminded me of the xrs....probably the only cat i wouldve considered ever buying before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev144 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I'd probably avoid Jim. The 2012-13 procross was the fusion of this decade. Blown belts, Jack shafts, motor mounts on turbos etc. List goes on. Look for a 14+ much better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but the big fin clutch update is a band aide at best. It doesn't resolve the problem just lowers the odds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have personally witnessed some belt blowage on Cat 800's I think there is an inherent defect in the chassis design of the procross that makes clutching them a chore. Maybe Yamaha figured it out but Cat had to hire team to help and it still isnt all sunshine and roses IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev144 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 All the fixes are good, they did alot to try and make the fusion work too but end of day I think we'd all avoid that 2012-13 era cats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambroski Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 That's my sled. I love it. But I've also added quite a few things to it. It's shocks are valved the same as the racers though so, it's a rough one if all you want to do is "tootle around". Also has the same skid as the racer. These are some of He reasons I bought he 13 though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmo Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I have a 13 with almost 5k on it I bought new. The 12 was the tunnel issue, 13 is same tunnel as new one. If the clutch and venting updates are done you should be good. Not sure I'd buy a sled with 4K on it though. I'd look for a newer one. They got better over the years, although mine has had very few issues. I think snake has a 13 also with big miles. Not all of them were junk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
