Kanedog discovers a Clutching CATastrophy, again. Pics!

[Slamnek]

I just rolled over 1000km on my 18 mountain cat and my clutch looks perfect. Still in the original belt too which also looks perfect. The o my thing I’m not happy about is the latest ECU reflash but that’s for a different thread.

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

That year I couldn’t even thaw my sled out myself it was at the dealer every time I got home. change this brace that. Bla Bla. If your 850 is a belt spitter and extreme it will always be a belt spitter.
Took it to martins. Riderz. Mad motorsports. Specialty sled. Sled shed in revy. And a buddy who’s good with clutches. Team tied. Braced the motor. 5 clutch and gearing combos. It got a lot worse in the spring. Extreme belt temps. So I saved money and I just sat there and drank beer because I couldn’t afford a ride it. Lol. That’s a Sled I should’ve burned to the ground

Not going to reread the whole thread again, but I can’t recall if in all these exploded clutch pictures and references, was there mention if they were totally stock, or had modifications done?

Scary, shrapnel flying everywhere

 

[Rjjtcross8]

Wow! Lucky he didn’t get hit with any shrapnel.

Arctic cat should pay attention ! Can you say lawsuit ... if you can sue for coffee being too hot this should be a easy win the second some one gets hurt.

Maybe one, I �� think.

 

[LMLCHEVY]

Wow. I saw the pics but not the video. Pretty violent. What year was that sled and how many miles I wonder.
