People will miss step and slide all the way down that hill. One year some girl lit a brand new fxr coat on fire because she was cold, drunk and got to close to boogers salamander heating the flip cup tournament I can see how... and why.

That year he wasn’t front row center he was in the parking lot where they were having bon fires. His dad got in a fight with some 20 year old dudes and won. They were pissed we stole their women and the 20 year olds ended up getting arrested. That was after the coat fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palu49 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Any of you guys had the airbox out of one of these piles yet? Finally working on the sway bar braces but either I’m retarded or you have to take the whole sled apart to get the airbox out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnstang Posted Saturday at 04:58 PM Share Posted Saturday at 04:58 PM I took the starter out of my catalyst and remember it was more time consuming than the procross. I think I removed the throttle bodies but left the air box in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think maybe if I take the TB’s off I’ll be able to get the airbox far enough back to get it out but I lost interest in it for now 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racinfarmer Posted Sunday at 03:12 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:12 PM How do you get chatter from a brake rotor at idle? As in loose tolerancing? I get chatter (pulsing) on the scallops rotors out trail riding, but that is all I've really noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I’ve seen on pretty much all cats is initial run after setup the rotor will rattle a little bit. Grab the brake a couple times and it seats on the shaft where it wants to be and its fine from then on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Posted Sunday at 05:09 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:09 PM What's crazy to me is this isn't some magic fix for a poor design...it's literally just tighter tolerances and Cat apparently couldn't even pull that off??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
favoritos Posted Sunday at 08:35 PM Share Posted Sunday at 08:35 PM I thought the brake rotor was supposed to have a little wiggle? My understanding is that allows for a driveshaft that might not run true. Whatever the reason, I think I've always had loose fitting rotors. The clip doesn't clamp them in place.

Premium Posted Sunday at 08:46 PM Share Posted Sunday at 08:46 PM Personally I don't care so much about the rotor... Its the inner race of the bearing wearing out the driveshaft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not greg b Posted Sunday at 08:56 PM Share Posted Sunday at 08:56 PM BDX has new magic shaft that will fix the rotor/bearing issue. They started pimping it last week on social media. Looks like a better solution than the barn of shit contraptions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnstang Posted Monday at 01:44 AM Share Posted Monday at 01:44 AM I think a little green loctite on the shaft and should be good to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, disassemble your brand new $20k sled to apply loctite to a critical component. It might work. If it were that easy there are 2 scenarios: Cat could do it (apply green loctite) at the factory and has elected not to....FAIL Cat doesn't acknowledge the core problem at all due to cost/assembly logistics/etc....FAIL Edited Monday at 02:03 AM by Premium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need it to last 2 seasons. then they can sell you a new shaft and bearings for 500 bucks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it is something they have a shit ton of warranty claims right away they will sweep it under the rug and fix it when someone bitches.
