mikeexplorer Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Finally did it and bought a new machine. 'Course it had to be another Cat It is a brand new leftover, 50th anniversary edition. Dressed it up with upgraded rack, and bumpers. Still have the old one, still runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeexplorer Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Installed HID lights last night. Only other mod planned is steerlites. Just from messing with it around the yard, it steers pretty well. I also noticed the coating used for the muffler and A-arms is better then the old machine. Should keep them both from rusting.

mikeexplorer Posted July 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Well the old one isn't dead yet, still going. The changes they did with that "ride in suspension" is amazing. You feel lower to the ground (lower center of gravity, meaning less "tippy") and the handling and steering is so much improved. Not sure how they did that since the A-arms are exactly like the old machine) Don't blame the age of the old one, it was tight steering from the start. I don't see a need for steer lites in this machine. hmm, already have them, so maybe ill just use them in the old one since they are worn out anyway. I might even dress up the old one with some free parts I got. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeexplorer Posted July 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2014 The old one came in handy last Sunday. Last Saturday we were riding Lost Trails and suddenly her quad gave her trouble. Would not stay running at idle and very hard to start. Managed to get it down on its own power (using low range and keeping on the throttle) Worked on it a bit but clearly the carb took something in and jazzed it up. It also had little backfires so it was a clear sign to send it to Cube's. (Carb work and valve adjustment are two things I don't know how to do) So she rode my old one on Sunday at NWORC. Did let her try the new one, she agrees, it handles just as easy as the 366. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
