But at least the guy on trail riders bitching about the seat on the RXC compared to his 2019 pantera will get his cross country sled. oh? that sucks...

Not greg b Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 The big announcement is a fully featured sled, with the big engine and every option you can get. It will be a one year only 2025 and that’s it. Textron is shutting down arctic cat that is why Yamaha announced they are done with sleds. Haydays will be the Textron announcement.

New engine built off the existing 800 flame thrower, I guess the larger displacement means it will provide more warmth for the Cat riders.

My buddies 19 caught on fire 4 times a ride and the dumb fuck put it out every time. My 22 RR was fine for the 500ish miles I put on it an my buddies runs like a smashed ass since it was new. So I’ve been lucky but yea there’s definitely no in between Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an extra sled my fiance never rides at the foothills of tug hill if he ever wants to get crazy and ride twice a year. Epping isn’t far from him if he wants a show like that, I went last year and I wouldn’t go again though 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use high temp (orange) RTV on every exhaust spring.. Just run a heavy bead on each side of exhaust spring coils. After springs are installed and stretched slightly/ Bead it so it runs entire length of spring coils and some RTV gets in between all coils on two sides. Been doing this for years on cats.. Y pipe is a must.. Never break springs anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
favoritos Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 The newer exhaust springs also work well. I can't remember which year they started, I believe it was the 21 models. It seems hard to believe that the small insert works so well, but I have not lost any of the newer style springs. I used to go through the old springs like crazy. Carried a couple in my tool kit all the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p51mstg Posted September 5, 2023 Author Share Posted September 5, 2023 I do use RTV on my springs, but forgot one and found it broken this summer. That doesn't solve the harmonics, but is a good workaround. If Cat announces a new engine design with multiple displacements - and not just a bigger version of the 800 - that would be really cool. The odds of me being there have improved dramatically over the last week or so, and I even found a place to stay overnight. Current forecast for Saturday: Start of the day at a seasonal 50, then mostly sunny with a high near 78, southerly winds 5-10 gradually switching to being out of the north in the afternoon. As a pilot, I always look to see what the day before looks like, since it seems like actual weather lags behind the forecast. Thursday and Friday are also going to be nice and dry, which is an excellent indicator. Looking forward to a nice tight formation of T6/SNJ's at Noon for Opening Ceremonies. What's a good YouTube video topic for Hay Days? I'm trying to figure out what I should cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swap meet treasures and of course the Arctic Cat reveal that the entire industry is buzzing about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
