2013 Rumors

[tantrumpipeline]

hahaha well that could be but I was thinking more how greasy salesmen are so you can't really trust anything regarding the products they sell when it can effect their bank roll, but I did hear him say he liked the feel of the pro rmk the other day, still teases me about my m series, but I love it so f@!k him

They're all getting v twin Briggs and Stratton engines. 20hp shoot outs here we come

We all know in the past minimal changes each year to keep the buying cycle. Unless it is a chassis change and dont buy the first year.

Well my group saw a bunch of 2013's rmks pros being tested and revvy a few weeks ago. I tried asking for details but no one could say anything all i know is 2 things.

1. Chassis and body are the same
2. One of the guys said it is lighter but gave no details on how.

As far as cat??? Ive heard direct injection for 2014 (because this is when there contract with suzuki is up for building there 800 H.O's) Now ive heard that cat bought back shares and have come to a contract agreement??? Who builds what i dont know maybe cat is still planning to build there own sled motors (cat builds the new 11T not the 800). Maybe the contract is for there quad motors? we will have to wait and see.

doo???? Well i havent heard much on them @ all ....prob because im not looking but depending on how the lawsuit turns out between them and cat i may suspect some sort of magical device that links the 2ndary to the motor so the clutches stay aligned WOW wouldnt that be crazy :d:d:d

I can't believe no one has mentioned that Honda is jumping in to the sled market in 2013. It'll have a turbocharged 1500 4 stroke with a 180 x 16 x 3 inch track.

If Honda came out with a sled I would place a bet it would cost $20,000. They're so over priced.

I've got 800 km on my belt no problems.
And I don't see how the torque link is causing problems? Fill me in please. A more logical explanation is misaligned clutches.

I don't think I've heard of aftermarket companies trying to fix the torque link either. Maybe I've missed a thread..

well i was just saying because of the lawsuit between the 2 companys. And i apologize maxwell we all know the doo's cant be possibly made any better so ok that comment was stupid on my part

 

[jaredszakacs]

I know cat needs to completely redoo that chasis I hoped on one this weekend and it still felt like I was on a lumber wagon! still feels way to wide! the new poo's are nice still a little wide feeling for me and I hope they dont shed anymore weight our buddy bent both of his bottom a-arms in the same spot on his new poo this weekend. as for the doo I love it the new narrow stance ois a great feel in the trees and tight stuff and the power is just more than the poo's and cats plus it has a 16'' wide track the new xp is the closet sled to feeling like your riding a dirtbike and I love that light feel when your playin in the tight stuff!

I heard rumour of a possible 900 supercharged 4 stroke for doo and yes more lightweight for polaris and direct injection in the cat

I think the pros a arms are meant to bend like that when they take a hit in order to save your bulkhead
