Ebay.... 046 belt $68 shipped. 060 belt $129 shipped. "these guys" don't know what they are doing imo.... the first ride should be belt break in.
how many cat 800 (2010 to 2012 only please) motors have blown?

For under $400 you can fix belt or piston problem. Assuming someone continues riding oem setups, warranty card in your wallet won't fix a blown motor in the backcountry but a spare belt is an easy fix. Cost of extended warranty would cover engine fix, and cost of one or two belts takes care of belt issue.
Btw-- XP's only get around 700 miles on a felker belt and around 500 miles on a oem belt. PC will get better than that when fixed and clutched properly

theres a reason white rad and a few others are building all sorts of engine stays to try and get the clutching straightened out on the PC's..sure its a hit and miss deal(some fine, some eating belts like a pez dispenser), but for some it is an issue..and the new cat kevlar belt(what an 83 or 84? ) is supposed to be as much as the poo 115 belt(dealer cost of 148 right now)ask Aksnopro..I know he ate belts like crazy and may still well be..he also had issues with a dealer voiding his warranty due to clutching mods and luckily got it straightened out with cat and still has a warranty....

Oh your talking about 2012's... Sorry. All I can say is it's their first model year with that chassis... there will of course be problems.... That's y I don't own one. I'll be buying the new chassis in 5 years when most of the bugs are worked out

2010 M8 broke piston skirt at about 1500 miles.
2012 M8 blew motor at 850 miles.
Both stock engines.

Great, but some of us don't stand for second place.
If you mod a sled the warranty is gone, thus belts are cheaper. But still BS on the '12. They should be warrantying a belt and only paying for one every 500miles min.
Where and elevation of where you ride? what oil do you use?

Why didn't you vote in the poll CatRyder88?
I'm going to post something in the ProClimb section, I'm wondering how many guys are riding 12's and don't visit this section of the forum anymore.

Situation in our local poll is: 25% of Cat engines have blown... or someone is pizzing off here 
Personally I know about dozen sled with this engine and I HEARD two have broken.

u dont own a 2012 do u.....
NOT THAT SIMPLE... but thanks for trying to make everyone sound dumb.. there is alot more to that with the 12.. or ur only riding around ur house and never clamping ur sled. WHITE RAD has the number for the BEST FIX for my buck.... annnd im pretty sure he would disagree with your statement... no belt is going to hold up to shifting motormounts.

Looking back, it looks as if he clarified that he was speaking of the M, not the PC.
That said, the belt problem REALLY sucks, but get the brace from White rad and a few hundred later you're back to being ok, whereas I don't believe that they guys who claim to have a "fix" for the poo really do, or are anywhere near that cheap, and also you're guaranteed to lose your warranty.

4300 miles on my stock 2010....rode it like i stole it from day one.
changed the plugs once, still rips like day one!!!!

BC, dont you run the risk of loosing your warranty by doing the clutch mods too? I thought aksnopro lost his and had to fight to get it back?..the fix it kit does seem to be working good on the poo's though and its aprox 800 for it....

doos dont need a fix kit

About the Polaris thread.
Why drive you sleds value down?
These polls will never be accurate.
