Motor was warmed up and going pretty slow down the trail behind the newbies I'm teaching to ride. Just died, no reason, wasn't anywhere near hot, always team cat oil. No engine mods, keep it clean and everything in order.
This has happened on all my cats, random, these 3 where stock, one with 250 miles, 1200 miles, now this one with 600 miles.
It's over 1k repair.
Personally I'm more bent about the thousands into clutching and belts but always thought, well at least the motor is tuff and cat is good about warranty of not, all to justify the bull sh!t I've dealt with.
So when it comes to comparing I would have had more fun and spent less on a poo, cat actually cut down on my riding and took some of the fun out of it while I did the work.
Good thing is they are talking like they might cover it, but still claim the above. We will see but after 3 years of they don't throw a bone out there for something to believe in. Why bother.
Obviously they didn't have clutch problems, they just decided to put team cliches on. ... yeah ok.
My 15 pro runs great, so does my 15 doo for that matter.
At this point, I don't even care, in fact it will be an easy decision. Cover it and I'll stick around and keep helping my dealer. I go ride and teach a lot of new customers. I actually do care about helping an honest father son business to grow.
