Partal to my bike, lets see I have a Suz with locker, I have a Cat with lock, have had Hondas & Yams. If you know your bikes as well as you claim what in hell did you by a Cat for?? anyone could have told you the 4&5's had NO LOCKING DIFF!!!! & I still say & it obvious that if you can't outmud a solid axle Honda with equal tires you DO need a driving lesson!! You should go back to your Hondas, I hear the dealers claim a new front diff that works, you'll probably swallow that to.

 

I have never trusted polls!!! Besides, that particular poll doesn't include ALL the tires...the "other" catagory is hokey.

There is only 41 votes on that poll anyway!! So what you're saying is that at least 13 people agree with you???

 

LOL LOL LOL Ive had my ole 98 out and had pull foremans out of holes. Maybe you should return your CAT for a tonka truck.

 

WEll lets take a little vote on tires right now. I vote on the Claws!

 

LMFAO...vewdew!!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Jacked...that's a good idea...

I will vote for ummmm...let's see.....THE CLAWS!!

I didn't want to get into it, but IMO claws are a very under-rated tire. More SHOULD be said about them. I know several die hard Vamp and Outlaw guys who are switching to Claws. The #1 reason is they not only compete well in the mud but they are great on the trails as well.

 

I will say this much

Im very impatient

I really need to give my gears a little time to lossen up
i have run across some diffs you couldnt turn with a monkey wrench they were so stiff

When the loosen up some it will make a difference

 

You guys dont know SH&* even if it were stuck to your hand

I love watching all you "Pros" Mouth off and hide behind the truth

Im telling you The front diff on these new Cats SUCK A$$
and thats the bottom line

Im not saying the bikes are no good,Im not trying to hurt anyones little feelings
I know you guys are proud of your Cats and wanna feel good about having one so you can tell yourself you spent your money well

The Cats need a better front diff I dont give a damn what you say!
I watched with my own eyes the reason I didnt get up the bank. The honda went right on up,why should i have to bounce on the right side,climb up on the front rack then on the left and so on. Wht should I have to do all that work when the hondas front locked and pulled him up? Shouldnt the Cat do the same thing?

Whats wrong with you folks! Am I the only one who tells it like it is?

 

I agree CK. The front diff sucks. The new Honda diff is not a typical limited slip like the Cat. They will not perform the same. The gears will not "loosen up" in the front diff. As the clutches wear inside the front diff it will get more and more like an open diff.

 

LOL
I was afraid of that

God I cant wait to lock it!!

no i still believe in the bike,as a matter of fact I love it!
Its big,its bad,and it is a great machine. I will put it up against any thing

But like everything else it can do some thing that others cant, and i cant do some things other can, But i still give it an overall 10 for performance

 

No offence CatK, but you turned this thread into what it is. All these machines have ups and downs. Im far from a pro lol, i use my machine to lug logs, plow snow and ride in mud and snow. But i just have to say if you knew so much you should have bought a machine with a locking front end.
