Thanks for bein' a long-time follower!

Syxxes Performance no problem!

Thanks Randers!

Yeah, tripods are pretty sweet. Just have to get a better mic is all xD

Kind of having a issue with mine. I can't get the primary to go in and out. To catch the belt. I rebuilt the clutch I'm guessing I did it wrong

They do!

You're right I absolutely should do a video on that!

Just bought the same sled 2 days ago. First cat and the belt is loose. No clue how to adjust

Strange. On the hundreds of thses I've worked on I've probably only ever done one or two secondary clutches. Way more drive clutches.

They are..! They saved me again today!

Shock pressure is really whatever you like. I run mine at 120 in the front and 150 in the rear. As for weights and springs. The stock spring is good. Weighs should be a 65 or a 68. Either one will do you good.

Shit wears out, for sure!

I would love to build a Yamaha but it would be a hill climber. I'd build an Apex for a point and shoot sled.

@@syxxes I had an 08 nytro 153 mtx that I did a 174 track and 270hp conversion to, that thing was an animal. A HEAVY animal

Glad you enjoyed it!

It's not even worth it by the time I have to pay the markup on the dollar to get it delivered to Canada. Cheaper to go the my local used place Sled Parlor. By the time I pay for shipping and handling and dollar value, it ain't worth it. Love to support local!

Depends on the clutch man. Some come easy others don't. I use grease if a few light smacks doesn't pull it out

I'm a Cat Master tech 👌

That's a question! There are alignment shims back there too.

@@syxxes I have a 13 HCR that I could not get the clutch off. I tried everything. Had to cut it off and needed to know how deep the stub went. Luckily I was careful enough to remove it without any damage to the stub.. The clutch.. well RIP! 😂

@@cannedham3774 I've had to cut one of em off in my day!

Yeah, it sucks having to bite the bullet on a part the expensive.

The rollers can be replaced. I get them from royal distributing among many.... under $100

Might have one coming.

Oy my 800 Rev, I rebuilt mine twice!

The new Team Boss setup is far superior to these. Lol

Yup the torque is 51ft/lbs

thanks

Might need a carb clean. Might be worth checking the reeds too. I'll be doing a reed video in the next day or two!

I'll see what I can do!

454541030 Find a factory service manual for your specific sled. It’ll be indispensable if you’re a beginner trying to save $ working on your own sled!

Services manual is nice but im more visual watching or lessening i do best its a 14 m8000 and its been going on 5 years going at the dealer but now i want to learn and this guy awesome 👌👍🤘

@@DrainReaper then learn from some one that knows what there doing. Just saying im not impressed with Syxxes Performance.

Thinkin about it. I'm really on the fence on whether I should do it or not.

Jack-shaft splines are different. You'd need to do primary, secondary, jackshaft and there is a bunch of work that needs to be done in the chain case too, for the ideal setup.

@@syxxes ok. I thought maybe they made the inner shaft thicker but left the splines alone. I know the primary clutch from a 16 will bolt right up to a 2012-15 but I was not sure on the secondary. I was told the secondary from a 16 would also bolt up but I wasn't sure it would

@@syxxes what was your clutches set up like? Spring weights in primary and secondary. Ill be riding in Revy so 6000ft ish

There should be a matching mark on the movable sheave as well as on the spider. If you are taking one apart, just make your own marks on it.

@@syxxes ok thanks. I had mine apart last year to change the weights and didn't know about them being timed

@@rascal1330 yup they are balanced as a unit so you want to reassemble them exactly the same as before you took it apart. It's not really timing more like indexing.

I changed my weights out last year and sled seems to run fine. Just wondering what peek rpm should be for my 2015 m8 162?

@@rascal1330 not sure, you will have to check the service manual for your machine or a dealer. The peak is actually the shift rpm of your engine and clutchs . When you hammer the throttle wide open and hold it there the clutches should let the engine rpms quickly build to and then hold at the manufacturer's recommended shift rpm and should stay there and not very from that rpm untill the clutches are shifted all the way through. Racers work hard on clutching, that's what makes for a fast machine. Shift rpm is a function of available engine power, gear ratio in the chaincase, and the weight and profile of the cam arms and the spring weight profiles. Some racers will over clutch or raise the shift rpm slightly to compensate for rpm sag when the clutches get hot.

Incorrect. This is as per the service manual

Did not realize that, thanks for info. Im more familiar with polaris, the epi pullers i have and polaris manual say something like grease the threads and dont use an impact, using an impact changes the spider torque value and can cause damage to crank bearings. Thanks for making vids. Cheers

@@007.3l Yea man. A little bit of grease on the tip go miles. These ones can be stubborn sometimes even with air. Cheers Chris! 🍻

I would but, money!

Yeah I hear ya!

Needs to be diagnosed. Can be a number of things

@@syxxes Ok. Thank you!

No Alpha!

Hmm. I think I can probably make that happen this or next week

@@syxxes I am Honda on face book

Nope

I do the same. I use Tri-Flow. It's a low temp silicone lube. Works pretty good.

I use LP1

The best chance you have is to see if you can see the marks. Black and green dots on the outside cover and should see some on the spider if they didn't wear off.

51ft-lbs. Start it and let it run for 3 minutes and retorque

Sure is. Its only a matter of time until it locks up.

Good to know it's holding up!

@@syxxes i dont ride the mtns but i got a 2006 ski-doo 600sdi 144 i re geared it for flat land riding i also need to re clutch it for sea level elevation and swap my A-ARMS and front shocks but so far im liking it

The nearest mtns are any where from 40 to 60 miles away and im not wanting to travel that far just to ride the mtns

@@edwardabrahamiii3742 we drive 5 hours every couple of weeks for mountain riding

@@syxxes here in my part of Alaska we never use trucks our gravel road aint big enough theres not 1 truck in my village any more in order to get to the mountains you got to use your sled and ride over the the frozen tundra lakes creeks rivers and ponds to get to the mtns it takes about an average of 2 hrs to get to the mtns that are 60 miles away doing speeds about 40 to 70 mph and it also takes about 2 hrs to get to the 40 mile mtns bc the tundra is just so rough rugged and harsh there are no groomed trails

That was a demo.

Karson Hoeflicher it’s the first year of the new style. I’ve heard to stay away from them. But I do have a buddy that has one with 3,500mi on it. If that helps ya at all

I would recommend a 2014 or newer. Many updates made it a much better and more reliable sled.

Thanks guys

You got some good comments here. It's a good sled but the 2014 and newer models have some good upgrades.

Ok

Why don't you have a helicopter?

You can do that with Skidoo clutches. But would have to find a special bolt to do that with cat clutches.

xD!

Syxxes Performance yo. You still need to hit me up so I can send you pics of my phazer mod sled. We talked about it a while back. It’s a late 80’s with a 700 fuel injected attic cat wild cat motor and tons and tons of custom one-off parts I made myself. I know you’ll like it. It’s pretty ridiculous. What’s your email? Or text.

@@Mad.Man.Marine You can actually send it as a DM to the instagram. Will be sure to get it that way!

Syxxes Performance will do

Syxxes Performance let me know if you got those pics. I sent you a bunch of the phazer build and also of the zr 900/1010 build I did

He does.

Someone didn't read the service manual xD. Arctic Cat says "use impact". Hell I even struck it light with a hammer like the service manual says! No problems here my friend!

Very common to use a hammer when pulling a stuck primary, just don’t get carried away.

@iSellUsedCondoms it's possible, but not very likely. We use a clutch holding tool and a breaker bar by hand.

Holy hell! That's scary!

Yup! Everything on this sled seemed to need replacing at once. lol

Guess you want your money back huh?
