Lost one today.. ruined what could have been the best ride of the year..

Lost one about 3 weeks ago..

Both 2010 sleds.. both about 1000 miles..

Lost 2 last year on the 2009 M8's also.

My GUESS is that we have some Chinese clutches.. Gotta love those Chinese parts!!

CAT better get it together.. their quality is on a downward spiral since the 2006 M7..

The two I had break cracked from the threads out where it screws on to the clutch shaft. Then it just spins on the shaft. These cat clutchs are getting expensive and sure can ruin a good day of riding
