Hey You- Hard to really see them, but how do they work? Will Momma be happy when she rides with shorts? She was branded by them her first ride! (She's not too impressed)

Weez- tripped over the site yesterday afternoon.

Here's where I sit now !

1.) Found out how to hold the clutches- life is good!
2.) Ebay'd a CD with the manual- life is even better
3.) Found the spec on deflection
4.) Clutch kit coming from Erlandson for CDI & Bigger tires
5.) Dealer had a set of 28" Mudzilla's. Look like they'll do they job !! Alum. wheels will be
here tonight, hopefully. Pics to follow!
6.) Dyna is installed. Wheelies rule !
7.) "Branding iron" screw update should be here Monday
8.) Shimmed out the winchplate with 2 washers at each bolt. 1/4" clearance between the rad
screen and the winch give me a little sense of security.

Now, I only have ONE problem. WHAT WILL STOP THIS THING !! LOL. Actually the "Tidal Pool" is the only thing that has stopped it so far. I had to winch out my buddies 500 Sportsman Wednesday night- TWICE. (HEHEHE) Right in front of his "Band of Brothers" (6 other Polaris guys) They were busting me pretty hard about Cats not swimming in the Tidal Pool, but no one else would try it. Can't wait to try the new rubber! They look KILLER!

Now the score is Cat 2 Polaris 1

 

Momma will still feel the heat but the screws are counter-sunk in the rubber grommets so her bare skin cannot touch them.

A lot of people with this bike(me included)have ruined at least one rain suit from these screws,I haven't been branded but I have felt the heat.My 4 year old got branded though and thats how I got the grommets.Wasn't too pleased.

Let us know how those tires work,they will tax your belt/clutch.

 

I used to drag race snowmobiles on asphalt (9.72@135 mph) so I'm used to paying for belts. :-( Just can't change them as fast on these things though! I'm going to try the 700 Kawi belt. Just a touch wider, good for 3-4 mph faster upstairs! The other thing I was considering was shimming the drive clutch spider out .020" wider so the belt should not squeal, and the clutch will come in a bit "harder" as the cam arms overcome the "center of gravity".


(I feel myself being dragged into the high performance end of this......HELPPPP!!!!) [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

The 700 Kawi belt is exactly what your quad already has on it....same number, letters, everything.

Broken axles will stop this thing......you will see.

 

i heard that to that the kawi 700 belt is the same and well my personal experience riding with guys with the mudzilla's darn i wish i would have gotten them for my machine we had to pull out a drowned out 6x6 polaris with tracks up a hill and we nominated the guy with mudzilla's on a 500 sportsman and well it overheated but it kept climbing up even after he spun it down i was so impressed i was able to go through more mud then him basically because of the atv difference me having more power and more ground clearance but his tires kicked mines butt and any info you can come up with on the belt tension would be a great help after i get this deflection thing accomplished i am set to really kick some major butt and i gotta get some pics on here we went out mud running and we got like 8 machines out through polaris and i got a pic of 3 of them drowned out at the same time but the saying is true cat's don't like water i noticed the polaris does take to water better then cat i drowned my 650 out and it wasn't any fun getting all the water out of the crank had to change the oil about 4 times and i finally put kerosean in the crank (don't know how to spell it) and ran it for about 30 seconds let it idle and it pulled all the water out of it but make sure you don't rev it up just let it idle for about 30 sec's ok sorry for so long i am in a gabby mood tonight why doesn't this sight have a chat room?????

 

I made arctic cat pay for my hunting pants that were ruined.......My cat goes well when it will start, anyone having problems where it is cold.

 

I saw your post on cold weather starts, my dealer said to use stabil or an octane booster in every tank of gas...thought it was BS but its been damn cold in MN and my wife and i both own the big cats with no problem starting. went out today and it was 11 degrees, choked both with a half throttle and both fired up. good luck

 

it must be the stabil helping, because the higher octane fuel burnes cooler so is to make it harder to ignite. use low octane "87"
in the winter time to help with cold starting!

 

i always run higher octane no matter what once it gets started it runs alot better and less chance of freezing up and dang it was 11 degree's there? living here reminds me of that movie the day after tomorrow

 

I'm just glad I wasn't in Duluth the other day. -50 degrees!!!!!! Now that's freakin cold.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
