We always find something!
If you put on enough miles, you’ll find things you don’t like. After our first oil change, we could swear that the sled was down on power. We talked to every Cat rep and dealer we could, but none could pinpoint the problem. We think the oil change kit recommended by Cat had slightly thicker oil than what was in the sled originally, but we can’t prove it. That being said, we could only get just over 104 mph on the speedo … darn. We were seeing 114 mph before the oil change.
Another annoyance was the heated seat seemed to have a mind of its own and worked when it wanted to. We had the same problem on other Cat / Yamaha 4-strokes. It did not seem to matter which setting we used; it only worked sometimes, and when it did, it was hot!
Finally, this sled did not come with the top-of-the-line Kashima-coated FOX QS3 shocks like the Yamaha. This was Cat’s baddest ultra-performance sled in years, and the graphics and shock package could have reflected that more. We are picky, though, and honestly, we had a fantastic time riding this sled!
