I plan to buy an 858 and am going to have a tough time deciding between the 129 and 137. My 137 6000 limited doesn’t transfer at all. Handles like it’s on rails but would be nice to have a little transfer from time to time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allyammies Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 325 miles on sled now trails were set up good last night. Hit 86 mph and pulling 8200. Seems to be getting a bit stronger but it could just be how the trails were set up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is getting the note book out from the past on setting up the “little kids” sled. He said it transfers worse than the 137 pc but handles and rides well.

I got 86 on the dash and 84 gps out of it on hard pack seasonal road tonight before I had to let out, pulled right up there but seemed like that was where it was gonna start falling flat for sure. Stop abusing it and the head light magically works. I got fresh carbides to go grind down this weekend now that I am back from a work trip and have time. I have a nitrous bottle on order to fix the walling issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krom Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) FWIW There is a chance jimwit is a technical writer at AC after all. I took a quick look through the catalyst service manual.... check out the helix spec.... Also, they haven't published a quick reference guide update in about 5 years or so. Also the shock section says to see the specifications section for IFP depth, etc. There is no specifications section...

Curious if it makes to shift OUT as bf bring the belt all the way UP.l. Heading out tomorrow to BREAK the motor in. Testing and adjusting what I can clutching wise.

Talked to a few people and they are all struggling with it as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also a gen 1 belt drive and I think there are signs of it in the final production unit. people say are for a mechanical reverse. I don’t think it is for any kind of reverse. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it says 20lbs at 2".. weird way of saying that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in development, are you not supposed to test the boundaries? Just asking, because since it was announced, they (Cat racers) claim no issues. Just curious, as these independents you mention. Do they exist, or is it some dumbfuck from NYM, NY, or a made up bullshit story, you are known to state. Pushing the envelope, I know. Fun days!

You said no racers blew a belt on the belt drive. And you are wrong and back peddling. My experience with the catalyst is the same with everyone now that they are getting miles on them. You are pissed I got one when they were “sold out” and was able to go rod the shit out of it before you took delivery of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the belt drive was developed from prototypes, no blown belts. Blown yours? Fucking use common sense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've been squawking for like 10 months on how they've never blown a drive belt on one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
