hey, while you guys are all on here typing, i went riding today!! 6 inches of freshies and we're almost into may!! I've had a great year on my m1000!
King cats dominate m1000?
- Thread starter WoodeeeM1000
- Start date
A stock or mildly modified M1000 shouldn't even be close to a big bore King. If it is there's been a lot left on the table.
I knew Arctic Cats offer of "FREE LIFETIME SUPPLY OF CRACK WITH EVERY KING CAT SOLD" would cause problems.
Bought mine used so I never got to cash in on the lifetime supply of free crack....damn! I wonder if that was transferable? I'm calling Cat in the morning.
I know, it sounds a little crazy. A $5k sled (used) whupin on an $11k new M1k. Its hard to believe, and even harder to stomach if you put out that kind of money. But its true, the M1K can't hang with a mildly mod'ed king cat. Don't believe me? I'll be happy to show you. Believe me, I want nothing more than that new chassis to kick my azz so I can upgrade. My kidneys can't take many more years on the king.
Tater, I'm in Boise...PM me back. I'd like to ride with you and see what you have. I know well who you are. I'd like to ride your big bore kit. I'm up fr the Trinities on Sunday.......I'll show you some stuff up there that no one knows about.

Stock i hated my m1000. I had newgate do some cluthing to it and some bolt on motor parts and now the kc900's don't even come close, nor does any other machine besides the turbo's.
hhahhahah only the turbo's uh? Sounds like cat gave a lifetime supply of crack to all of their customers.
Check it out ....

wildrider on here with his old king id put money on it hed out ride almost any one on a m series sled in the trees amazing where he brought that sled.... mind you he now has a M.....
you no id say your crazy but riding with so many of the m1000's and 900's i seen wild riders go freaking awesome before it blew up and then about a month and a half a go on the cat 09 m1000 test ride there was about 8 m100s not one was stock there and hole bunch of m8's to and some guy with a 600 2003 mtn cat chassis with a 900 motor in it with a 144 or 151 matched the marks with the 1000's or came right close every time and they all had long tracks if he had a 162 im positive he would have out climbed them all in the 2 feet of powder...
Will I guess you haven't been around my area, I will put my king cat up agains your m1000.
WOW!!!! first post and your calling out someone

Alot of bs in this thread, and alot of guys that wouldn't know a good running sled from a 600 cc with 1000 stickers on the hood.
I see the same problem that the original post metions as the M-chassis being a trencher on a deep climb. It starts out well, and carries good speed, but quickly hits a wall where the trackspeed is up and the groundspeed is down causing it to trench a powder grave.
I had a mod kk 4 sleds ago, with a 16"wide on it, and just don't remember if this was the case. I do remember my 05 M7-m8 bb did not have this problem it had an a-20 with the holz brackets on the suspention. It would pop up on the snow with great speed slowing down up top but continue climbing at a snails pace (I ran the A-20 flipped/straight). I do remember feelings that the 05 M was a much easier sled to ride, but not ecstatic about giving up so much reliablity to get it to run with a bulletproof king. That being said, you couldn't pay me money to go back to riding the king chassis.
Moving on:
07 M-sled trenched something horrible, put an 08 skid under it and it still trenches, 08 M-sled trenches the same, tried geo mod and it trenched worse.
So what is it????
Is it the track? I don't know, but I ordered 4 powderclaw for the 4 08's that my group has (went in with my dealers springcheck order). Is it the skid, sure is pretty but how functional is it?? Don't know but my buddy has talked with Holz about this issue who believes that the attack angle of the track is too flat causing it not to climb up on-top of the snow. Holz says he can fix it with his coil over which is on sale right now with an additional discount available to me. (Did holz really design this 08 suspention? Did AC engineers relocate parts on Marks design. Is holz just trying to sell me a suspention?)
How come nobody has thrown an 05 M-skid under an 07-08??? What about moving the front skid mount down creating more attack angle
Right now the powderclaw may fix the problem (I left town 1 day before the 09 demo's were available for me to ride in 2' powder) It's too bad because I'd have a complete understanding as to what is going on.

I just got back from riding with Y890 and if you show up with a stock 1000(or a well modded one) and the pink slip, you can just put it on his trailer and save the ride up the hill.
the O'l king is a strong runner, so bring the check book and i would love to watch.
Scott and the guys,
Thanks for the great time.
