New belts are in the Mail

Dam Dave · Feb 15, 2012

Dealer just called me, everybody gets a new belt and another year of warranty:face-icon-small-hap so 3 years warranty on snow checks now

I will gladly take a free belt BUT ...........I dont need it, I have 950 miles on my M800 Retro and nothing has fallen off, nothing has broke, Belt is still fine:face-icon-small-coo

Let me edit that a little, I have 800 miles on original belt and 150 on spare just because I wanted to put some miles on it as I dont like putting on a NEW belt on during a ride.

You should still be entitled to one anyway as you still could loose that stock belt? One yr. of warranty will help, but what happens if you trade in for a '13 sled, does it transfer over or is it just lost? They should give people a free upgrade to the '13 modifications and new side panels if darn near worn thru! Basically some of those things won't be under warranty and should be! Mike

My dealer called as well and said that we get an extra year and that they will need to change out the chaincase gears on the 4 strokes. He didnt say a thing about a new belt though.

Dave, I've blown 2 in 300 miles, so I'll take that unneeded belt off your hands.

That is probably a 4 stroke reverse fix, only 2 stroke getting belts as far as I know

Hmmmmmmmmm No but I will give you the extra warranty as I never keep a sled that long, probably get a 2013 anyway

WyoBoy1000 · Feb 15, 2012

Mine is going to be so modded it wont matter, but they may want it to learn something, lol

dunatyk · Feb 15, 2012

I can confirm this! I have seen the letter. I think its a great move by Cat! My belts have been lasting but hotter than i think they should be. Granted there are a few little things that need to be worked out,bottim line imo you will see this with every new design. I guess im tired of all the bitching! Nobody forced anybody to buy a new proclimb, so if your unhappy sell it buy another brand and move to that forum and complain. I know that my dealer also sells polaris and hates dealing with there warranty. I toyed with the pro rmk idea but he talked me out of it for warranty reason. One last thing before everybody gets all gooed up over the new belt drive remember it probably had 3 yrs of testing as well just like the tcl. So if the new pro has any issue at all i guess it can be blamed in the new belt drive.
Just sayin

Yes was told my snow check M800 now has a 3 year warranty

Hilly · Feb 15, 2012

Over on HCS they are saying yes to the turbos too 3 years

Skeld · Feb 16, 2012

Would this apply to a snowchecked XF 800 High Country as well? My buddy has one, although he hasn't had any problem yet...other than loosing all his coolant due to a leaking hose fitting down at the bottom of the engine bay.

I would have to say this pleases me greatly. This shows confidence in what they have built other than the chaincase reverse crap.

So is it time to thank the "whiners" (all you non-whiners out there).

I say not yet. Let's see what else we can get LOL.

I want all new plastic that fits, bigger clear tank, smaller oil tank,...

Ahh, forget it, but I think it may get boring in here without the whining. Don't you?

Unklsnomobile · Feb 16, 2012

This is good news for the 1100t owners. Hopefully the reverse fix will work. Turning these things around by hand sucks. As for the 800, I don't think a new belt is fixing the problem. It will help, and at least Cat is not sticking there head in the sand. That extra year warranty can be worth a lot if something major fails.
