A very bad riding experience and end to our first snowmobile ride of the 2024 season, on the Arctic Cat ZR 800. :( What do you think could be the issue?

Something in the fuel system is gummed up and it is starving for fuel at certain times. More then likely that track is coming apart. Your clue is the missing pieces on side of the track and the fact that the machine is getting older. Also sitting outside with the track on the ground long term is never a good idea. Merry Christmas everyone! ☃⛄❄🎄

I’d bet you have a stud ripping out, hopefully no hole in a heat exchanger. Put a new seat cover and track on it and go through bearings and shocks, that’s a sweet sled.

I'd say the clicking is the track for sure, you just didn't look hard enough I had a similar issue with the engine to my buddy's ZL 800 EFI, ended up being the main fuel line what was on it was some regular tygon fuel line and it couldn't take the EFI pressure. Replaced that with some good thick stuff and she was good to go

Exactly. It’s not the brand it’s how it’s taken care of. I don’t think anyone would say a Yamaha 340 or 440 Exciter or Enticer is a bad sled, great engine durability. But leave it outside and let the mouse family move into the seat and air box, let all the seals dry rot and bearings rust up, the gas turn to syrup, yep she’s a pile now.

@NJP76 6 ай бұрын

@@glenmallory9982 I store my sleds outside in the off season. (Have no indoor storage or garage.) But they are under covers with the tracks and skis up off the ground. I also go out every couple weeks and pull the covers off and let them air out. Don't want moisture to build up under those covers. I also make them as mouse resistant as possible. (peppermint oil, dryer sheets, etc.) Have had no rodent issues. It is all in how they are stored. Just leave it sitting in the side yard on the ground and uncovered and there are sure to be issues.

Jeremy, check the chain case. I still have my 1999 ZR700. I had a similar problem. I thought it was my track. Not the track. Then like you i thought it was the belt. I switched belts and the problem was still there. It was a bolt that came loose and sometimes it thumped then sometimes it didn't. I rebuilt the chaincase internals and problem solved.

It’s a loose stud you probably ruined the heat exchanger common thing that happens you have to stop immediately or you just ran it out of antifreeze and blow the motor. You can get the exchanger welded but its a lot of work. Has to clean to weld it its aluminum. My buddy welded his zr you have to check the studs every ride good luck.

@wanderingcanadian12 7 ай бұрын

Id say its your jack shaft buddy. Theres two, one going in your chain case and one coming out that your cogs are on. One of the bearings let go. Going to have drop the track and open the chain case to fix it. Time consuming but not the end of the world if you fix it right away.

@prestonbear8981 7 ай бұрын

It's 100% the track coming apart. The tempo is such that every time it makes a revolution you're hearing and feeling the tick under the seat. Going slow you don't feel/hear it because there isn't enough centrifugal force to slap it against the tunnel. If it were belt, the tempo would be 100s even 1000s of rpms, not one tick per second. The notch missing out of the edge you showed at the beginning would be a good starting point to investigate. As far as the bog, it's starving for fuel. Being efi, check your fuel filter if there is one and fuel pick up screen in the tank.

@coltenlapointe5747 7 ай бұрын

Would also be willing to bet something’s going on with either the smart valves in the tank, power valves, or clutching, that sled isn’t pulling nearly enough rpm and sounds down on power

@bartinater 7 ай бұрын

Rotate slow and you will probably find a stud that is ripped out on 3 sides flopping around hitting your heat exchanger. Had it happen to my mxz800. If that’s not it like others have said drive axle bearings. Loosen track tip it on its side grab hold the main drive axle and wiggle.

@41JAZ 7 ай бұрын

It's your track...a stud is ripped with one stud or more hitting...tip it on its side and roll the track by hand and find it. My guess is you have already eaten into the fins of the front heat exchanger.

The belt should not be left on the clutches during seasonal storage and your clutches may not be aligned. Get a simple but very accurate straight edge and check that the clutches are in perfect alignment. If not this will prematurely wear your belt or eat them up quickly depending on how misaligned they are.
