Arctic Cat Ski

[eman]

Has anyone tried the arctic cat plastic skis on a RX-1, I have an extra set off of a 98 ZR that I may try. Has anyone done this and if so what is involved and what were the results???

Well when I was eyeing them up they sure look bolt on. One thing I know is they are nowhere near as agressive as the Yami ski. This to me would be a good thing. Others may dissagree.

If you decide not to go with the swap please lt me know. I have a friend looking for some cheap stock skis for his zr if your interested in selling.

Cat ski will fit, no problem. You will need to drill out the ski pivot bushing I.D. to 7/16" to allow the larger cat bolt to go through the yamaha spindle. I have drilled these using a 1/2" electric drill, but it would be much better in a lathe. You will want to shim the cat ski rubber for optimal ski heal pressure. My RX1 handles MUCH better with the cat ski.

I run the cat skis on mine.When doing the swap I found it easier to use the yami saddle and drill to fit the cat ski.Cake job plus works way better than the 03 yami skis did.

I did what Gukrokit did. Easy to do. Works awesome.
