I am assuming they would replace all 4 caps and be done with it. Krom will know when he talks to cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crnr2Crnr Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Units: About 2,670 (In addition, about 891 were sold in Canada) at least they don't light on fire... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK440 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 The Chinesium metal alloy they use for everything strikes again. 3,561 new ‘24 Cataylist 600’s sold… wow. So overwhelming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also surprised less than a 1000 went to Canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krom Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Strange that its only for catalyst sleds We've changed plenty of them over the years, try to find them during pdi by making sure the bolts are nice and tight. The ones that break have a huge void in the casting. According to the parts book on country cat, the part number for the catalyst steering clamp is the same as they have used on pretty much every sled for years and years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some purchasing manager from the Big-T is extra proud about squeezing one last fraction of a cent out of that piece part price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t want to see them go away but when you continue to manufacture unreliable garbage made from Chinesium metal you suffer the consequences of low sales.

That has nothing to do with it. Cat’s low sales are from not selling what the consumer wants. A bigger than 800cc sled with a full feature display. What does cat release? A 600 with the same crap they have used for the last 12 years. They are 8 years late to the party with the 858 and the higher end options. If they would have done that out of the gate the catalyst would have been tough find this season. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Doo (boost) and Poo (boost and 900r) have upped the game and probably already working on the next flavor of engine. This will not help Cat and their 858 imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
