Cat DNA Strikes again! -CHAINCASE TENSIONER ROLLER WHEEL FAIL

[cannondale27]

Can you imagine that set up on the tunes we’re running on the winders? Lol

Oh my god! We had them fail loading new onto trailer. It was always interesting seeing the parking lot on a Monday morning. No room to park vehicles packed with blown chaincases,belts and TriHubs! WAAY better now.

Cheapest two beers ever, takes about 30 seconds per adjuster.

Two? And a trip out for some perch fishing. That would be great as do not have a welder or any knowledge of it.

One of my buds rides a 2018 cat 800.
I sent him that pic of my bolt about to fall out, and he in turn showed his cat dealer.
His dealers response was that those are Yamaha parts in there, therefore it's a Yamaha problem, not a cat problem.

So when the sight glass's crap out do they fall inside or fall outside the case? Was thinking of jb welding it in place or epoxy?

Guessing they fall inside. Seems to me it would be tough for them to fall out

That’s what I thought! The thundercat guys are not seeing the screw back out?

Well I ordered another yami fromTA. I know I could have done SLIGHTLY better on a cat. But I feel I have the yami clutching dialed in. And TA is a great dealer as far service.

Absolutely! Switched to powertrail after being on ECO for 6k. Put 1200 miles on powertrail. 7200 on sled. Running straight 38 for about 7k.
