    Arctic Cat Catalyst: Is a Turbocharged Four-Stroke Engine Coming?

    Hopefully what ever engine Cat comes up with it won't sound as bad as the Suzuki 1100!!!! Absolutely worst sounding sled engine ever!

    Arctic Cat Catalyst: Is a Turbocharged Four-Stroke Engine Coming?

    Cat, at least recently, has always built and they also have claimed their flagship sled to be the fastest...surely they are working on something going forward.

    Sidewinder Ice Cobra?

    The 144" Ice Cobra as a 2.52 pitch on the Camso's specs says its a 2 ply...all the 2.86 pitch length Ice Cobras say they are 1 ply. I really don't expect the Ice Cobra to be as durable as the Back Country has been as it has exceeded all my expectations. I never expected a 1 ply 1 3/4" track to...

    Sidewinder Ice Cobra?

    So... I have had a Back Country 141 x 1.75" Track on my 2019 Tuned SW since it was new, lots of miles on this track. In NWO we typically don't run studs. I have had for many years a 144 2 ply 1.6 Ice Cobra track and a new drive shaft with 10 x 2.52" drivers ready to convert this sled to a 144...

    2011 Apex Sputter mid range

    Maybe swap out the coils or move the number one coil to another cylinder and see if the problem moves with the coil.

    track fitment winder 141"

    I also have a 141" SW. The only 141" track currently available, as far I have found, is the one ply Back Country 1.75" track. I have had this track on my sled since new as the 2019 X-TX LE came from the factory with it. The Back Country on my sled has been excellent and amazingly durable. The...

    Thunder orange secondary

    Definitely not common for them to break from my experience anyway.

    2024 Sidewider LTX GT EPS

    From what I have read...the uniqueness of the 144" Ice Cobra track is that it is a two ply track unlike the other Cobras all being one ply tracks so I am hoping it is more resilient then your typical Cobra track. I must say the one ply 1.75" Back Country track on my sled has been amazing...tough...

    2024 Sidewider LTX GT EPS

    Yes its my tuned sled. My sled came with a 3" pitch 141 x 1.75" Back Country. When I bought the sled I planned on immediately converting it to a 2.52" pitch 144 inch track. For years I have had all the components to convert the sled, a 2.52 x 10 complete axle, and a 2.52" pitch 2 ply 144 x 1.65"...

    2024 Sidewider LTX GT EPS

    Not to Hijack but...I am thinking of a pre studded 1.65 Cobra Ice track on my SW. Will there be enough clearance for that track with out needing protectors?

    Adapt clutch rattle at idle

    I think one of the most cost effective solutions to the cat clutch issues is to order in and install a Sidewinder jackshaft, find a good used Apex clutch, Sidewinder Secondary and run Yamaha clutches! If I had to replace my SW, and wanted a brand new sled, I would be looking at a new TCat and...

    Grip and thumb warmer mod?

    My 2019 SW Thumb and Handwarmers work great! I would say they are almost as good as my Apex with Yamaheaters as I can rarely have them on full heat.

    2017 sidewinder unknown mods help.

    Maybe post that request for chassis help in the Sidewinder trail forum it gets more traffic/views.

    Pivot Arm

    You probably recall there was lots of discussion on these in the pre Yamacat days when we were all riding our Apexs as our main sleds. I thought the reinforcement fillets had cured the problem but I guess not. I installed an updated W arm on my Attak and it has lasted...

    Pivot Arm

    Do you mean the front "W" arm on the mono skids? Yamaha updated them at least once.

    New Hurricane weights?

    That really surprises me...those reverse angles on any sled I have dealt with[since the 70s] have never made sense to me...is your new sled not tuned? I run 43/37 41/39 ect Daltons on my SW....I have 4 helixs I alternate with depending on conditions and whether I am trail riding or racing my...

    SnowTrackers on the X-TX Mountain Skiis?

    Update and Review. Prior to my last ride I installed SnowTrackers on my 2019 X-TX LE. The sled is a unstudded 141" 1 3/4 back country that came with the Mountain Skis. I have been using fairly aggressive carbides on the sled since I purchased it new in 2019. Yesterday we did a 300 mile ultra...

    2011 Apex Sputter mid range

    Surprising there are no stored codes. I am sure you have changed the plugs, also you could have dirty injectors. Try a couple cans of sea foam in the fuel tank...you may get lucky. When the Yamacharger was installed did you also install a fuel controller like a PC5 ? When I installed the...
