Hey Guys
Today was a good day.
I have an update to my axle issues. I went out and put 50 miles of good hard testing on the Cat and I am happy to report that so far the axles have not moved a bit and there is no gear lube loss at all. It seems as though the 2 little o-rings that they installed in the groove where the C-clip sits are doing the job. The micro fish shows three o-rings but the tech from my dealer was told by AC to use two. I would suggest that these are replaced every time you take an axle out. They are very thin o-rings and I cant see how they will survive after 1 or 2 uses. The kit that AC sends out also has a thicker c-clip. My Cat is going in for the 100 mile oil change and inspection tomorrow. Next week I will do some more testing and report back. I am feeling much better about my decision to by the XTZ now. I hope the axles continue to stay put. Everything else on the Cat is working great. The motor seems to be getting stronger as she breaks in. It feels as though when you go full throttle from a stand still on pavement it wants to lift the front end. I think it would if the CVT set up didn't have safety slip built into it. The only other issue I had was the 10 amp high beam fuse broke last night but I do have the Dirtlights HID replacement's from UTV Crap so they must require a 15 amp fuse. I will look into this. The lights are very bright and at $150.00 a set a bargain. My night time driving is fun now that I can see 3/4 mile ahead of me.. For now I am one happy Cat owner.
