X2. But winter is almost done for me so it will be sweet to have a brand new one when the snow flies next season without a payment all summer!!!

I noticed it at about 5.5 hrs. And had a demo this weekend from montana boat center, that seemed to come alive at about the same time. It's more than just the hour number, it also has to do with throttle position and RPM.

Rode 275 miles in Sicamous in 2.5-3 feet deep powder everyday with my 162 Early Release and it is awesome. My only complaint would be that some snow gets in the vents on the oil reservoir/exhaust side and it collects all around the oil pump and hoses at the bottom of the oil reservoir and turns to ice(way less snow gets in than on my old 2015). Will be an easy fix with the help of frogskinz though. Also, not sure if any one has been putting cans on their '18s but I put a GGB mountain can for the suzuki on mine right from the start and have had no issues whatsoever.

R.H side panel front tab melts with a stock exhaust. No problem with aftermarket silencer.

Same thing here.
Pretty much the same issue on every brand and model sled I've ever ridden.

How does it fit? And sound? I was looking at the bmp can to and I am stuck between the two! And keep us updated on how the machine is running with the can on it

Rode 2 days total around 150 Miles with my BMP can, i liked it alot for weight loss. tad loud IMO

Just put 4 full days on a early release 18' 162 in 2-3 feet of wet heavy fresh snow. If there was going to be a belt issue on this unit, I would have had them. Happy to report No problems.
Issues,
- When open side panel the front tab melts on stock can like mentioned above.
- Same panel got very hot and started to warp/melt at the top where the exhaust pipe meets the can, may want to do some heat tape or a heat shield of a sort.
- Moisture got into the oil level indicator connector and was triggering the low oil light.
- Stock skis are pretty flimsy and weak, bent one up pretty good but it eventually retained its original form.
Biggest issue is that my riding season is over and now I have to wait all summer to ride that weapon again. Cat made a great move by letting people ride these units at this seasons end. They live up to the hype. Just snow checked the mountain cat.

My primary clutch rub on left side panel and now the panel will have a hole soon. I search a fix.

What's the most miles anyone has seen on a ctec 800 mill? I'm thinking of taking the leap and reserving one this fall.
the demo sled i was on 2 weeks ago had 800 miles and still on the 1st belt.
my bet is this will be just as tough as the old zuki. And keep in mind it's had the throttle pinched from day one.

Good deal. If in AC's testing met the same requirements (no reason to think it wouldn't) as the 600 it should be great.

I would love it if one of the aftermarket companies would fabricate a piece of thin stainless or aluminum with self adhesive backing. That way you could pull the foam off and install the new piece and solve the problem of the primary drilling a hole in the panel.
Anyone listening? I would buy one!:face-icon-small-hap
