cats engines and belt
Ok to start off I have a bruin and a rubicon my Yamaha dealer just started selling cats so I have been thinking about trading up from the bruin to a cat 500cc just a few questions who makes the engine for the 500 and any problems and how about the belt drive on the cat .

Motor by Suzuki, and as for the belt drive, the cat is my first bike, so I really have nothing to compare it to, but from what I have read on this site and a few others, the belt system is one of the best in the bizz. Going from a Bruin (350cc??) to the 500 Cat is a BIG step up, the whole bike is a lot bigger and will tackle a lot rougher terrain than the Bruin. I only have a 400 cat so these are just my opinions, but others will pipe in and give theirs also.

well it will only go into limp mode if the belt starts coming apart or a thread hits the lil switch it will fry your belt very fast i have burnt 2 of them up and well gotta do more shim work on the clutching. you can run up to 50 mph in low range so whenever you run under 50 mph use low range. save yourself the effort and get the clutch springs and get a dynatek cdi.
