    Catalyst 998t rumours

    Two different posts. Separate post to SrxSpec.

    Catalyst 998t rumours

    No, saying it doesn't fit and Cat/Textron would have to build a wide body Catalyst but probably don't want to spend the extra $$ to do so.

    Catalyst 998t rumours

    ....and not having to design a widebody chassis to fit the engine, why we are hearing rumors of a 2-cylinder, 4 stroke turbo version.

    Catalyst 998t rumours

    I work with a former Polaris engineer. He did say they had one for testing. They also had one with a RZR based turbo engine and he said the 998T literally destroyed the Polaris engine version.

    Happy Birthday Mr Sled

    I'm a little late but hope you had a good one!

    Full build 998 SRX on pump gas plus Boostane

    Not to start any arguments but Hurricane's knock sensing is what sells it for me. Dave and company hit the nail on the head and as far as I know they haven't had a single engine failure since they developed their system.

    Midwest snow report

    We've all seen brown winters but I don't ever recall it being so wide spread. When the Arrowhead of Minnesota and the UP are struggling that's a real bad winter around here, at least for a snowmobiler.

    Early dyno reports (850R)

    If you recall I had just standard gas cell (no idea who made them) on my 2017 STX-DX. Miller obviously had the QS3-R on his 2017 LTX-LE. The difference in ride once you hit a rough patch of trail was mind boggling. We hit some stretches in the UP where the groomer was broke and he was leaving me...

    Quiet Collar

    The best thing about FB is the Marketplace for buying and selling. It seems to work better because you can screen their profile and location. If I see something fishy I steer clear. I hardly ever go to Craigslist anymore.

    best aftermarket ski for the sidewinder

    Old thread but the last time I posted I had just bought a Sidewinder. I pulled the Tuners immediately and put on those Curves I had on my Attak. I always had this nervous side to side subtle but irritating twitch on my Attak with those, turns out that nervous twitch followed to my Sidewinder. I...

    It’s finally over for Yamaha

    They were kind of lying saying they were in it for the long run. I really think it had to do with Yamaha leaving their whole snowmobile division in the hands of Cat/Textron. When Textron told them they wouldn’t share their new chassis or build a wider version to accommodate their 3 cylinder 4...

    Cobra 1.35 vs Ripsaw 2 1.25

    Probably compared to the standard Ripsaw. The Ripsaw II hooks just as well as the Cobra in testing and has more top end, both sleds equal. Both our 136 Apex's running the same clutch kits and both drivers very close in weight.

    Two-Stroke..... Said I'd never buy another but.....

    I agree with Mike on a 700 twin is about as big as they should go. I grew up with sleds in my family going back to 1970 so I was always around them. I bought my first snowmobile on my own in 1988, a brand new Phazer, I was 24 years old. At the time I wanted to gain more technical knowledge on...

    Two-Stroke..... Said I'd never buy another but.....

    Ok I was curious how it compared to those 800 triples on torque. I remember Olav stressing trying to build pipes that are not peaky and have a nice backup torque curve in relation to the HP curve. In essence to what you are saying, good bandwidth or a broad power curve. Getting back to your...

    Wonder how they compared on the torque curves?

    Yamaha done with sleds

    Which is crazy, they say BRP has 80% of the PWC market. Whenever we go down to Mexico, Bahamas, etc. all they ever have to rent is Yamaha Waverunners. I asked a worker in the Bahamas, why only Yamaha? He said we have tried others and nothing lasts like a Yamaha because they have a true marine...

    Yamaha done with sleds

    Almost like politics in a way. Don’t get me wrong, not going down that road but I get your point.
