I don't think it'll be a problem the gf has a 600ctec great little motor and goes good. All the problems the 800zuk showed, LOADING UP was a huge one, I never experienced it but many did experience the hard starting when hot, the bog the zuk was a screamer ou could hold it wide open and it loved to scream. I think cat wouldn't dare make a motor that is just as reliable if not more so ( I blew mine at 6500 hard miles oil control rod popped off I have no doubt it still be going if it weren't for that) and also I doubt they'd release a new engine with the same problems as the old one. The electric pump is far more efficient.
I hear ya, but there's a lot of tech involved with this design, time shall tell on the durability, but I think Cat did their homework on this one.

Looks promising.
anyone else worried about the hollow jackshaft and aluminum drive shaft? I wonder when ya chuck 12lbs of boost at it are we gonna have issues??? I think the 18's look good!!!! just don't wanna go down the Polaris broken parts train.... its one thing to be a little chunky, but if its chunky and blowning apart.... not cool.

I would not be too worried over the hollow jack shaft. Doo has used one for several years now with little to no issues.
Unless cat does like Polaris on their aluminum driveshaft, I'd think it would be fine.

Pretty sure if your worried about an aluminum driveshaft you can throw a steel one in when you dump $7,000 on your turbo and other mods.
Dan's in salem. Have NO regrets....
Prefer not to drive 500 miles.
We had a dealer 15min away for several decades. He's done with Arctic Cat.

I use adventure in Monroe. Small dealer getting bigger but still know your name.
I was really hoping they would take that green to the next level. Would love to see something like the seahawks color rush jerseys this year. Just really not feeling the standard grey. Been there, done that.
If AC really wants to bring us polaris & Doo converts back, then make a big splash.
I really like what i see. Been stalking the changes since 16 and have decided to snowcheck something new this spring. I guess a couple more weeks and well see all the goodies released.

been running for four plus years already
This is just the early release snopro. Sure there will be plenty of "bling" for the snowcheck guys and whatever the higher end sleds end up being, Limited? Mountain Cat? Would imagine even the in season snopro's will have at least 2 color combo's Have already seen a pic of an orange and white that looked AWESOME, hopefully they will have an all orange and all green!

Been there, done that.... already beefed up a steel jack shaft to run the turbo I got now, just wondering what everyone's thought are.... don't get ur panties in a knot, I'm not trying to talk trash about your first born, just asking!?

I hear ya, my thoughts are throw it away and install steel one even on stock sled.....
curious
I was talking to the guys at the local shop and they said something about a mono rail for the rear suspension that was supposed to blow away the T-motion that skidoo is so proud of....has anybody else heard this????

yeah, cat "tested" the motor for 4 years. there is no test like the public, and it inevitably seems new things dont hold up like they say they do, funny how that works. IMO this is very scary that the 800 is no longer suzuki and cat is now building their own motors. For me, wait and see on this one.
