actionjack Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 They look good. I could never wear that green. That front suspension looks very vulnerable to me. They need to bring back the F7 Nightfire look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg du Vermont Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 I`ll have the Cat photos that I took in Yellowstone posted on admdq.org and/ admdq facebook page after the 10th. I think that they will show more clearly what has been done for 2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagman56 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Greg, thanks for the photos! How did they handle and what do you think overhaul? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikerider Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I saw the new Cats last night at the Augusta, Maine show. I had sworn off Cats, but must admit the new four stroke Cat is at the top of my wish list at the moment. Sleds looked very sharp and were exceptionally light. The only review I can find so far on them is at Supertrax Magazine's web site homepage. It is a glowing review. I will give reviews of the sled next season to all who donate to: mikeridersledfund.com. Visa and Mastercard proudly accepted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 1 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I am under the impression that a US purchased sled is not covered by warranty in Canada. Does anyone know if there is any truth to this? I still believe that if you ride Canada a Ski Doo is the sled to have, plenty of parts... Last week one guy with us blew a chain & it went thru the chaincase, 19 hours later he was running again. He purchased a used chaincase but it is a non wear part... I agree with Mike the new Cats have me thinking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg du Vermont Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 More Cat photos are up on the admdq facebook page. Thesse sleds were without any doubt crazy incredible to ride. If Cat can successfully bring these improments to mass production they will have a winner. The Cat is Back. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Association-des-Motoneigistes-du-Qu%C3%A9bec/106636226638#!/pages/Association-des-Motoneigistes-du-Qu%C3%A9bec/106636226638?v=photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg du Vermont Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Crashing is never a good idea. I've seen SDs take an easy roll and end up with airbox pieces inside the motor for a $2,000+ repair. Lightweight equals vulnerability to forces outside the design criteria. I don't think that anything I rode would take kindly to ramming the A arm into something hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Mike the new Cats have me thinking... The warranty for sleds purchased in the US with respect to coverage in Canada is I believe the same for all brands: NO COVERAGE. BRP is the exception which has coverage within North America. So beware, even the extended policies offered by some manufacturers don't cover outside the US which in my opinion IS RIDICULOUS considering the amount of technology (things can go really wrong) and the prices we pay for these things.

I believe my Polaris is covered in Canada.But if you are Canadian and buy a sled in the US and bring it back to Canada the warranty is void.
