I have a 2013 F1100 Turbo. From factory, the jackshaft flexes up to 180 thousandths of an inch and the bracket that holds the jackshaft bearing on the clutch side comes attached to the engine. Every time you let off the throttle, the belt takes the brunt of the force from over shifting and it heats up. Guys have spent thousands trying to fix belt blowing issues by installing new clutches, jackshafts, etc. If you want to be done blowing belts, especially if you have it tuned up (I have 240 horse tune, cold air intake, extended track, Bikeman Clutch kit), you'll have to replace a couple parts. The bracket that holds the jackshaft on the secondary side has to be replaced as well as the jackshaft. The new brace will stop the overheating on deceleration and the heavier jackshaft will keep your secondary from pulling out of parallel when you're accelerating. This should have been addressed right from factory and a couple engineers did in fact lose their jobs at Arctic Cat over this. They now work at Polaris. lol. Scott Taylor Engineering still makes these parts and he does them well. For the double approach fix, you're looking at just shy of $1000. That's a bit to spend but better than having a $5,000+ paperweight that you don't want to ride because it constantly blows $120+ belts.
first off great review! keep em coming second- could somebody PLEASE directly compare cats new 1100 turbo rr and the 800 rr?! would be greatly appreciated! that 4 stroke just seems so planted versus the maneuverable 2 strokes. its would be imperative to compare 2 of the exact same models to see what either's advantages and disadvantages are.
would seem that way..but if i want to keep my job i also want to build something i cna be proud i am part of. so i wil support the better product in hopes that our lack of quality will get out and force arctics higher ups to care more then just about numbers of machines produced. I'm a very open advocate at work about our lack of quality and production efficiency as are a lot of my coworkers..however our Managment does not care about that. like they say we don't pay you for your opinions.
Polaris fanboy eh. Got fired from polaris cause you were the Quality control problem and you uncle has a friend at cat and got you a job now your bashing Arctic cat. LAME!
I build these and i would not reccomend to anyone to buy them...quality control is nearly nonexistent...polairs builds a lot higher quality sled..and i know someone may argue me but i have also worked at polaris and can compare apples to apples and arctics QC, production efficiency, and engeneering is 10-15 years behind polaris was in 2003. they look nice and have power but are not well built.
I love my RR but found out that the clutch alignment on these is not exactly quality controlled very well. Adding a free float mechanism and removing the shim/s caused me to burn belts because under load the secondary was pulling itself against the bearing housing. I kept the free float mechanism but put the shim back in and it seems much better but WTH Arctic Cat?

Was any of the riding in this video actually on the 1100? Sure sounded like a 2 stroke to me.
Yeah, wtf
Some parts its the 4stroke for sure, there are parts of the video that are 2 stroke
still on my 1999 arctic cat powder special 500 had no problems with it whats so ever! i love arctic cat!
first off great review! keep em coming

That must be scary fast
Anyone catch the extra belt shoved behind the speedo pod? Hear those turbos eat belts as often as putting oil in a 2S.
+doodrew800 and how would a turbo eat a best exactly?
John Lawry what
I meant how would turbos eat belts.
There wasn't a place to put a spare on these, tunnel bag was optional.
What sled that one snow cross ? Arctic cat
if you go to arctic cats website they will have the specs available obviously the biggest difference is weight

any sled handles on groomed trains
The handle bar warmer controls look a lot like skidoos buttons
Damn so much hate on this sled !
NICE!!
The thing even looks like a cat with its headlights
the 1100 turbo only got 15 more hp
I put a can, cold air intake, clutch upgrade, and tuned the ECM. Getting 240HP on mine.
The 800 is more of a ditchbanger i would think..
Sickest looking sled I've ever seen
Spare belt. Lol Classic.
2 stroke sound edit at 1:03... Nice job lol
Noticed that thought I was going crazy
rather have a nytro mtx

haha thats great
JIZZ
“ Small Nigling bumps” what does that mean? Is this racist…? Haha..
Wounder how many belts they had to put on that shitcat to do this review i would like to know......LOLLOL Belt killer should be called
grow up.
These sleds are the definition of unreliable
Either you yourself or your slaptard buddies must not know what sled maintenance is or how to do it.
Who came up with this design it sucks
