[andy_09]

hey guys just got my new sled today its an 01 mountain cat 800 with a 159 so far its got reeds, big air box, shaved head, lightweight hood, and m series bars. i know its not a 09 d8 or trex but for a high school kid workin part time i appreciate it. i have a question though when its sitten there idlin it seems to have kind of a rattling noise kinda sounds like it around the air box area has anyone else expierenced this, its kinda buggin me thanks Keil

Nice ride, man! Congrats! No idea what that noise could be. I'll think on it!

Ya c'mon J-Roc, shouldnt you know what it is??? hahaha!


Nice ride man! I worked part time through my senior year in HS to buy my ride ! (see sig)

by the way...you have a great first name!

If it still has the stock pipe.............are you sure it is not the stamped tin that covers the insulation?? When the insulation burns out (slowly) the tin gets loose and is famous for a little "tinny" rattle.

Otherwise..........nicely done............welcome to the Arctic Cat Brotherhood............and Sisterhood.........hell.......it's all GOOD when you're on a CAT!

good lookin sled there. you gotta tell me something tho, whats up with the hood and front end? doesnt look like it fits well and your skid plate kinda disappears out of the pic. also i see you have 1M arms on it, all your missing is a 900 and boss seat!! stick with it, that chassi is fun

Good lookin' sled, it's a HUGE upgrade over the wedge. If you're over 6 feet tall the seat will probably be too short for you. I had to do something about the seat on my '04, and didn't want to drop 5 bills on a boss. I took it to a local upholsterer, and he put in a foam piece to bring the height of the seat level with the hump on the back. Best part was that it cost $80, instead of $500. I've seen 2 done like this and they've both turned out great. I'll get some pics of mine when I get home from work.

thanks for the feedback

the fit and finish isnt to great cause it has a lexan hood and we all know how ****ty those are but it gives me something to tinker with, i was wonderin if anybody has a king cat tunnel, i want to swap to one that is the two piece so i can get the CR Racing or some other tunnel extension

question how could you tell their the 1m a arms--i had no idea

Nice sled. As for the rattle, do you have tools in the top of the box?

 

[andy_09]

no tools thought it might have been the extra spark plugs took them out and didnt change ill check the tin pipe cover tonight

Nice sled. As for the rattle, do you have tools in the top of the box?

I was going to ask the same question. The spare plugs in my 04 rattle like crazy.

Looks good dude! Thats a solid sled no matter what your age is.

you said it was an 01 and the a arms are round where they connect to the spindle, but yours are straight.
heres a pic of the original 01 arms.. hopefully pic isnt too small and you can see the diff. its also possible it has ZR arms, not likely tho, the 1ms are just lighter
