I had my primary go on me. A sneaky trick to get it to release your belt to start if you have no one to help hold your back end up is: Stick a tool (screw driver wrench something straight and solid) put it between your secondary and the belt rotate the belt around the secondary forcing and pulling the belt deeper into the primary. It released for me and I was able to start it up. Something that worked for me when I was in a pinch. Keep on the gas and when slowing burp the gas you might get out with out having to re free your primary 4 or 5 times depending on how far out you are. Keep ripping brap brapppp
Funny that's exactly how my son Brought my XF home a couple weeks ago. Wouldn't kick shut...cracked 3 spots. Buddy lifted it up to start and he drove in high gear home.
Why do these new sleds have clutch issues... I had a 97 mountain max 700 and also a thundercat 1000 with insane amounts of time on both and never had a clutch issue or even ever a blown belt.. drive chain bearing came apart on the Yamaha one time only issue
Here's my thoughts on your latest vid. I think you are trying too hard to sound unbiased. Just tell the truth and give us your honest opinion. They all break, but in my 35 year experience with Cats they are the toughest. And most reliable. 7200 km on my last Cat, Firecat F6 EXT and I rode it hard. Just saying.
Camaro69 Green in my experience, I've spent nearly $1000 in parts this season alone for my cat. Both clutches blowing up, on separate rides, the secondary being aftermarket already, belt, drive chain breaking, drive pins rounded out. Granted it's a 2000, but the most unreliable sled I've ever seen. Switched to skidoo, and by the looks of it, I won't be going back.
I own artic cats and skidoo I had a skidoo tge engine seize 850 e Tec junk i tell yeah and my artic cat blown a cluch and thats it i won't go back to skidoo
If you guys are riding in low snow things get hot. An old belt can get stuck down in the primary. Its not necessary the clutch but maybe an old worn out belt? Don't blame the clutch all the time. I know these things.
@@syxxes So you Kick IT????? Dude really. Maintenance?? I get it..... kick if you have to get it broke free if that's what works. If that is the case then it's worn out with many miles.
Matt I think it is time for Ben and yourself to sell them kitties and get some RMK's. Get yourself an Axys (2016 or newer) and you will love life! I am not sure how the agileness will compare to your alpha but you wont be burning up primaries that is for sure! Keep the content coming boys, I thoroughly enjoy watching all of it! #teamPOLARIS
@@shaun_syxxes5132 hopefully!! Hate to see them snowcheck a couple kitties that are gonna break when they could've snow checked a bad ass RMK or Khaos!
Staticstang It wasn't the most enjoyable time on the dirt but we like to think we represent the die hard sledders who think any sledding is better than a day at home on the couch! All parts can be bought, memories cannot 🤘🏻
Jordan Hoffman You missed out, she's been a great sled!! Depending on what I decide on for next year she might be a dust collector and wait as a back up sled 😬
We lost a kitty too on the hills today. Alpha primary blew to pieces and f'ed the motor. Managed to get it to sugar bowl and got the ol choppa ride out
@@ben_syxxes8179 if you boys ever want to ride in upper Michigan I'd be glad to have ya . get a hold of me I got place for you to stay. And i will supply the Bush lattes . lol. But why would you leave the mountains .
why would you drive down a dirt road like that? what the fuck man, definitely a case of more money than sense. do you get more than one season on a set of skis?
@@jaykush6071 ive had lots of sleds that haven't broke. I've been riding since 1993 and I've had every brand out there. All brands break, its inevitable. I have owned more cats with less problems than the other brands though. I ride with a large group of guys all of us buy a new sled every year to two and almost everyone rides a cat now. Also 11k for a new cat and almost 16k for a polaris lol

2014 and up Cat clutches are pretty much bullet proof..... I have a stock 14 M8 LE. Like yours. Check deflection.
12-15 have the same primary, they changed the secondary in 14 and then both to Team clutches in 16

The clutch is stuck shut. The problem is the clutch: From an Arctic Cat, Cat Master Mechanic

@@camaro69green31 Yup. Kick it and see if I can break it free. Just trying to get off the mountain
@@syxxes Do what you have to to get down. I agree. So...……. honestly... was it the clutch or an old worn belt wedged down in the primary??

Maybe!
You guys should do a compilation of all the broken sleds, would be hilarious to see all the times the polaris failed lol

Here go!
Shaunie and the Naked Turbo, the best that sled has run in 2 years :)
Why no turbo?
@@gentilejoshsaved1646 It never ran properly. All Shaunie ever did was fix things.
Yeah, it runs awesome without that turbo! I'm proud of the old machine!
Bubbles is my fav then ricky
That dirt/gravel road riding looked painful....poor sleds. Lol.
Staticstang It wasn't the most enjoyable time on the dirt but we like to think we represent the die hard sledders who think any sledding is better than a day at home on the couch! All parts can be bought, memories cannot 🤘🏻
Too painful for me to watch! I love riding, but its almost car season here. So I will leave my sleds covered up in the garage til December.
How far away from the idaho border are u guys I'm only 45 min away from the Alberta border
The boarder is probably a 4-5 hour drive
If your buddies aren’t having a beer in the truck are you really in Canada?
Jordan Hoffman Can't beat a Bush Latte on the hill or on the trip to and from 🤘🏻
Ben_Syxxes all I can say Benjamin I’m glad I didn’t buy your sled at the beginning of the season lol
Jordan Hoffman You missed out, she's been a great sled!! Depending on what I decide on for next year she might be a dust collector and wait as a back up sled 😬
I’ve gone through two clutches on my 13 cat.
Justin Girard 14 and up sleds clutches are amazing but any older are garbage
Yup. This will be my second one in a row over two years. Blew one last year too.
Lol tell that to my 16 with a blown primary
Matt on a Polaris! Now that would be awesome!!
Never know!
Nice video guys! Always look forward to the ride and or at least something breaking.
You're in luck. We break things all the time.
Syxxes Performance YA Almost, GO Team Shaunie!!!!🤩
Syxxes Performance YA Almost, Not Team Shaunie!!🤩
Shoulda slapped the alpha primary on and kept riding
Sounded more like conky than Bubbles 🍻
No offense, but the guy who thought the water in that brook was deep enough to "catch ya" makes Bob and Doug MacKenzie sound like Canadian Einsteins.
How long was the drive to the 2020 snowmobile snow?
Was about 2.5 hours.
Don’t have any snow for the m1100 turbo
Only 16" snow in hills/ bush now. Trail fucked here.
Quads n dirt bikes now
Yup here in Alberta the riding is over.
Why r u wearing ur seat belt??
👍👍💯
Alaska has some snow still wondering around!
We just got the last of ours all up high. Trails are toast on the low end.
Damn, must be bad for you? Aghh sleds are fun to me.
Those poor sleds
Artic cat are best!
There is still some snow here in Newfoundland too!!!
We still got lots up high, but the trail heads got nothin!
Syxxes Performance Ya Grip It And Rip It!!! 🤑👈
We lost a kitty too on the hills today. Alpha primary blew to pieces and f'ed the motor. Managed to get it to sugar bowl and got the ol choppa ride out
Wow. Never heard of one of those team clutches going out that way before.
@@syxxes love to post a pic. Ill put one up on my Instagram. I just started following you you can see it there
@@Ckezema1 You bet! Just did a follow-back
Where are you guys from? And where do u ride?
We are from Alberta and ride various areas around Alberta and BC
Syxxes Performance oh, I live just north of Edmonton
@@arlenbrownless759 We don't do a whole lot of trail riding. But have done a lot up by Cold Lake area.
Syxxes Performance yeah that’s all we really have here but it good riding in the summer
Ya can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning .are those bush lattes ?
Chad Sheridan You nailed it! Nothing beats a good bush latte on the hilll 🤘🏻
@@ben_syxxes8179 if you boys ever want to ride in upper Michigan I'd be glad to have ya . get a hold of me I got place for you to stay. And i will supply the Bush lattes . lol. But why would you leave the mountains .
Colorado still has snow too!! LMFAO
Lots of snow up top still!
2100?! Where you guys at
ah ha I recognize that spot... bit of a drive but always worth it!....lmfao the poor turtles!
It's better to drive it than ride it. They had it all plowed out for the most part this year.
Too much talking...... no action. Your ladies must have other men on the side :)
Imagine that the Polaris is running right
For once...! I'm proud of it!
go team shaun! shoulda brought the phazer...
I guess we need 2 spare sleds now.
Syxxes Performance Total Replacement!!🤕🤣😂😁
The begining hurts my heart
The snow needs to do some dumping in the u.p right now
I've got a TEAM primary and secondary for sale :D
Damn! I could use those! Lol
Good video!
Wow I say! Do you guy’s actually work? And pay the big bucks to own these ? Get the dam truck is what we would have done WOW!
At least there artic cats
This is what happens when daddy buys all ur stuff and doesn’t teach u shit
When’s Shawnee going to show use the New yami
Whenever we can get him on one!
Syxxes Performance oh I thought he said he picked up a sidewinder with a blown engine?
Syxxes Performance Shaun Really, your gonna kill your gas mileage? Oh well Matt usually Drives. So much for the condo Next Season!
Need more RMK’s in the group
No more cats
I had a rmk they suck I put so much money I also had a skidoo 850 e tec junk the alpha is way to go
Only sad reaction
why would you drive down a dirt road like that? what the fuck man, definitely a case of more money than sense. do you get more than one season on a set of skis?
Sometimes you need to spend a little time on the dirt to get into riding zones. Don't you know this? Lolol.
Matt you need the Khaos!!
Don't think it hasn't crossed my mind!
Syxxes Performance Boy Get SOME!!!! ☠️👎
Haha I need a box of an s10
Well you're in luck! We found one in the middle of the bush for parts!
Syxxes Performance That’s Mine!!Thanks For locating It!!😂
Seems like sled abuse to me. I wouldn't treat my sled like that.
Renae Munson it’s die hard sleders gotta ride when ya can eh
@@aussiehonchar3606 more like sled murderers. No respect the sled or the sport.
Renae Munson how do they have no respect for the sport? Explain that to me. That’s a load of shit
fuck me ease up on the advertisements.. its like 2 mins of content and then another one
Less talking more riding.. boring otherwise
These are the travel vlogs. The filming comes in later videos for riding.
That's why you dont buy articats
Everything breaks on all sleds.
@@thegoldenchild4657 I had my Polaris rmk pro since 2013 and I never had a problem yet lol
@@jaykush6071 ive had lots of sleds that haven't broke. I've been riding since 1993 and I've had every brand out there. All brands break, its inevitable.
