Mounting tabs on heat shield snapped off due to excessive vibration

What did they say about the footwell crack?

 

[jhurkot]

My 2 cents are that the team clutches work extremely well, no belt issues at all and very efficient. Its really to bad that this durability problem has arouse. Cat needs to put the pressure on Team to solve this issue. It's funny how many issues come out of using venders for key components, I imagine Team is under the gun right now.

I blow a belt every 200miles. Belts are $300.

Each clutch that is cracked is $1300 (retail). If the the clutch explodes it’s probably more like 5 to 6 thousand dollars. Primary, secondary, plastics, clutch guard, pipe, and maybe bulkhead.
Also need a new engine when the clutch explodes.

You have a bad one. Cats in general are not and have never been belt blowers. I always buy a spare belt with my new machine and end up selling it with both belts after 4000 km. Only once have I blown a belt after 1500 miles and it was a RTK 925.

I have 900kms on my current belt, clutches are just warm to the touch. I paid around $900 for my team roller clutch when I changed to it.

crazy. I haven’t touched a belt for 2 seasons on cat. Prior to that my record was 16 belts in one season on 2018 850

16 belts in one season? Why on earth would you keep riding it? Were you doing the same thing every time expecting a different result? That's nuts! Either you or your dealer needed to get to the root cause long before 16 belts were put in it! lol

 

[snopro]

holy ****!!....where the fawk does that remark come from??????????

Just seeing if you followed the thread. Haven't heard much from ya bud. Just having some fun.Lol

Omg what a dumb thing to say. Doos are hot just running trail at 50mph. Hottest clutchs of any brand

Even my old T-nytro didn't run hot clutches 250hp and 1800kms on the first belt, you're just used to BRP heat generators. If you ever rode anything else you would discover egg cooking clutch heat isn't normal.

Quit derailing this thread you homos. It may be used as evidence in a court of law. You could be called as a witness. Haha

Kinda like BDX and their diamond drive...

 

[catrutt]

The diamond drive was great except they put one cheap bearing in it that caused all the problems.The clutches had a spyder breaking problem back then as well.I guess they never learn.

Hardy har har! Mods! Mods ! Mods! Can you clean this thread up back to #702? These kids are fighting about whoever has the hotttest belt is the coolest sledder. The manufacturers and Sledders are using this thread as reference and it makes us look like the kids we are. This historical S&M thread should be preserved in its purest form. Haha. Now everyone sit in the corner and feel shame.
