I ran the BDX boards all last year... Amazing, going to buy again. Stiff, like no flex hardly 190 lbs no gear... Slightly narrower than stock, take off the Snow-Flap and with these narrower boards that snow can flow through you will
float and dig outta the hole better than an expert. The design...
I was close, I knew it was something like that... I was less lazy last year, actually looked up the factory spec, and set and ran mine at factory last year with no issues.
It's like 10 or 20 lbs. Of force pressing down near center of track, with your sled suspended... I just use a couple dumbbells, one on each side of A-beam ... And presto measure to I believe 3" slack... Someone, please confirm my #'s
Heh ya'll ...
Lot's of threads of other issues with the Cat which is fine and not too bad... But am curious how the new motor is doing so far?
Reliability, any difference in power or snappier pickup etc?
Would be cool to track progress of new motor with some desc miles on it during the year...
Do whatever you want to that boat anchor, snow-limo.... In the trees the Alpha will out Chew, out carve, out maneuver, and kill that boat anchor. Waiting for your boost to spool: I'm gone Budd.
You sound really bitter, probably because your riding areas are jam packed with no fresh powder in...
You're hilarious Budd... Had a 174 Skud with some upgrades, my Alpha makes that thing seem like a toy, not even close bro.... With the Alphas track, setup the thing is a Weapon, chews threw everything. Anyone with half a brain knows that a XM can't hold a wet fart in the wind to a Alpha.... Try...
You wanna go down this road with Baraaaps Tex? Let's not start.
Don't make me pull out the Alpha and lay a hurting on the Dootards. As long as my clutch doesn't grenade it won't even be close.
Everything out that way East of Vernon got logged and closed down... No one goes that way anymore... Just go to Sicamous, that got voted like Best Riding Area Ever like a few years ago didn't it.
Doo guys cluthching at straws, looking for any excuse!!! Truth is Arctic Cat has the best performing, most innovative sled this year. Get over yourself Doo-Crew, Cat don't win every year.
Looks like nothing will change for 2020 either... Doo's answer: cut off mud flap and charge more money...
Same results Baraaaaap is seeing, been in 3' deep fresh powder as well, same results.
So just because it's best in trees, means it can't dominate hills too there Doo-Crew??? Only holds 40 lbs less snow, better powder delivery, better track design, no resistance in driveline.
Alpha is a Weapon!
You Bertans keep bringing up mod this, mod that... I'm talking a stock Alpha kicking Doo... Both had silencers, the Doo had Raptor Ace skid.
Otherwise stock motors...
Only real true comparison is bone stock to bone stock.... Alpha can be modded to hell too, but clutching and that track just...
How is that not a fair comparison??? They both have a 800 motor, both third party dynod at right around the same HP... But the Doo has a longer, wider track ... It should be working it over.
And what is a Allen Creek? Is that slang for ditch banging with your buddy Al in Alberta? .... "Al 'in...
