You are so full of yourself, that reality is not. What do you think all those “blown belt” DNFs that herf had in the pro open class the law few years were? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A drive belt won’t make anyone dnf especially when cat had a whole semi full of parts there. An experimental drive they wouldn’t have enough parts for. And they announce what puts them out of the race on the PA system. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I get ambitious I will go see terry and Tim at tpi and go on a ride with them and put some parts in it to force it to shift and have a real party lol. Their shop is like 15 minutes away.

Not greg b Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 There is also a film has developed on my clutch side tunnel by the foot well that is not on the muffler side. I wonder what that is?? I am sure it is belt dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZR 600 129 - 27/60 gearing with pn 0728-281 (?T) driver (can't find more info...?) ZR RXC 137 - 30/58 gearing with pn 0728-286 (8T) driver ($311) Riot 1.6/1.75 - 27/60 gearing with pn 0728-282 (9T) driver ($284) M sleds run 24/63 gearing... but the track pitch is different so it doesn't really matter to most on here. looking at the prices and if you want more low end grunt... I'd just change drives to the 8T as the gears/belt are stupidly expensive. @taperk600 and @krom On 12/29/2023 at 1:31 PM, krom said: if you scroll past jimwits lies and bullshit, I posted info.. https://www.arcticchat.com/threads/catalyst-r-xc-observations.506253/page-2 On 12/29/2023 at 1:53 PM, krom said: hate to fuck up this thread with factual info, but.... getting back to the gearing and clutching... if the sled isn't getting 1:1 on hard pack or bare ice it's going to underperform. imo, the gearing options being so limited are going to be an issue for some people. just looking back at all the different gearing combinations they used in previous models makes me think they left something on the table as there's only 3 gearing choices currently. pretty sure I'd try the 8T RXC drive asm on a regular ZR if its not fully shifting out with the std ZR gearing ... especially as the drive asm is cheaper than two gears. or, wait to see if Speedwerx comes out with a helix that has a shallower ramp angle. in fairness to Cat (and all manufacturers) they have to pick one gearing and clutching setup for everyone regardless of what the trail conditions are, how light or heavy someone is or if they ride like Greg or as slowly as Jimwit just taking in the scenery.

Allyammies Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Regular ZR and mine is not shifting all the way, about 1/4" or to top of primary. By the way the sport gauge sucks. Cannot see temp or hand warmer settings very well. High beam indicator as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it better than the old one as you can see it sitting on the sled without the handlebars blocking it. Everything is super tiny on it like you mentioned and you can’t see rpm and speed at the same time as the rpm is too small to read. I think it is the same gauge ski doo uses on the low end summits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His pictures he posted braking in his new rxc were like 8 miles from where I live. Now if it would just snow. These last 2 huge snow storms have been a flop. We got about an inch last night not the 10-18 they were calling for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to race mine next weekend and I have even driven the thing let alone messed with the clutching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
