    121" Track options for Phazer RTX in 2021

    Really sucks that there is almost no availability on almost everything these days. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but it just seems like there's been enough time to recover from the effects of the shut down during the pandemic, and so to me it's almost like there's a deliberate effort to cut...

    121" Track options for Phazer RTX in 2021

    I used to have an RTX that I stretched to a 136 and I put a freeride with 1.5 inch lug on that sled. I only mentioned the fact that the Vennon/Blast use a same size track because it sounded like the original track was in need of replacement and the freeride tracks aren't available. So I was just...

    121" Track options for Phazer RTX in 2021

    Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the short track versions of the Yamaha Vennom/Arctic Cat Blast use a 14 x 121 with a 2.52 pitch ... Should be the same as the Phazer, FWIW.

    No extended warranty on the 2 stroke sleds

    Cannondale, what did you do to get yours up and running again? I don't own one ... just curious.

    New transporter cutting out 1324 Code

    Really? How many were made? 1,000? 2,000? If the Canadian numbers are true, that would make the failure rate at 1,000 units 40%. Knowing how small the sled market is, and given that Cat (and presumably Yamaha) have gone to a pre-order business model, do you really think they built more than...

    New transporter cutting out 1324 Code

    Funny they never had this issue during the demo rides. Makes me think changes were made afterward, like changing vendors within their supply chain. I thought these motors were being made in St. Cloud. If that's the case, you would think they would be monitoring their QC more closely. It's not...

    How do I..........?

    Have you tried asking a service tech how they would remove them? I will sometimes go to a dealership and ask to talk to a tech about stuff like this, and generally they have no issue with letting me walk into their shop and ask their tech some questions. Most of the time I walk away with some...

    It’s In! Venom Mountain

    How much time do you put into breaking in a 2T motor? Personally, when it comes to 2-strokes I will start the engine and vary the idle speed from mid rpm idle (say 650-700 RPMs) to slightly higher idle speeds (750-1200) for about 4-5 minutes, or until the motor starts to get hot. I then shut it...

    It’s In! Venom Mountain

    Man that is a big pipe for a little motor. I tend to see this motor like a larger 2T dirtbike motor, so why does the resonance chamber on this pipe need to be so big? Have you talked to Straightline Performance or SpeedWerx about whether they are working on a pipe for this sled? I know they plan...

    Seat concepts/mountain seat

    2 different schools of thought. If you're not riding trails like they're a race track, lower COG when cornering isn't as much of a concern. From an ergonomics standpoint, I would argue that anytime you can get your hips higher than your knees while sitting, you're going to experience less strain...

    New event in MN held Hay Days weekend

    Interesting. Based solely on the info provided on the website linked above, it doesn't sound like there will be more than a couple of dealers bringing product (sleds, ATVs, UTVs or side-by-sides). I'm hearing most dealers are having a banner year in light of the pandemic and inventories are at...

    2021 Sled Buyers

    I'm wondering why you would buy the Vennom when you could get the same thing in a different color for a whole lot less?

    2021 Release?

    Couldn't agree more ... Have had the same thought many times before. I think CR saw the writing on the wall and exited because the timing was right for him. Should send a message to anyone thinking there is hope for Yamaha's sled division.

    2021 Release?

    I'm with Cannondale on this ... I've long since wanted to build a small, lightweight sled with power at this level. Cat did a lot of things right with the Blast in my opinion. I know many would disagree, but the one thing I wish a manufacturer would do is actually make the sled smaller in scale...

    2021 Release?

    I'm guessing that a lot of people here have already seen this: http://www.arcticinsider.com/Article/Right-Sized-Ride-Review-%E2%80%93-iRide-the-Blast-ZR-and-LT. As for me, I found a couple things in that article interesting. One is the idea that Cat's past spring-order-only program was intended...

    2021 Release?

    Thanks for the info, Biff. I saw the initial demo ride schedule and didn't notice any stops in Minnesota. They must have added a few since. I missed the one at ERX, but will try to make the one at Country Cat if possible.

    2021 Release?

    Would really like to attend a demo ride for the Blast, but they don't seem to be planning one in my area (or in Minnesota for that matter). Where is Sheetwright? I think he has connections on the inside. If I remember correctly, He called it about 24 hrs before the Sidewinder was released ...

    Will there be a 2021 Venom next year?

    Again, the emphasis of this patent is on the use of "carbon-fiber reinforced plastic" for some of the structural chassis parts. One of the most significant parts appears as item number "51U" in most of the drawings. This is what I referred to as the pyramidal section of the chassis in my...

    Will there be a 2021 Venom next year?

    Looking at the patent, it seems the emphasis being made, in terms of what is unique about the design, is the use of "carbon-fiber reinforced plastic" for the pyramidal section of the chassis, the belly pan, and portions of the hood. The stated goal of the design is weight reduction and...

    Frustrated with Yamaha

    TPAY, Maybe that's true for procross chassis sleds, as far as CAT parts are concerned. But try getting a Yamaha part and I think you'll find that it's a different story. Just this winter my brother needed a new helix for his Phazer and was told it was on backorder until February. I told him...
