Good Job Arctic Cat .. IF we can believe everything we read... X2!!! ^^^^^^^^^ QUOTE (stealth bomber @ Oct 23 2009, 11:49 AM)  No big surprise. Cat has had the EFI thing nailed for years. I think DI will still be the benchmark though. X2 again! ^^^^

QUOTE (razer @ Oct 23 2009, 10:15 PM)  what's this pipe sensor? something new? The pipe sensor is nothing new for cat, my 03 440 race sled has one. It adjusts the timing/map while engine is running to keep it at peek performance. I wonder now that they are using the pipe sensor, with fuel injection, if they incorperated the pipe sensor in with a knock sensor to keep sled super lean, and on the verge of melt-down? I know my E-tec is a nice sled, but as soon as CAT get a 160hp 800cc mill stuffed into that new RACE CHASSIS of theres, as a trail sled, I will be on one. I bought the E-tec for fuel mileage, but i would sacrifice some mileage, because that CAT race sled looks BAD "edit for bad language"!!!!!!

QUOTE (ncapster @ Oct 23 2009, 11:32 AM)  Acording to the latest Supertrax Cat's new mill meets the 2012 emission regs with throttle body EFI!!! I guess it's all thanks to the pipe sensor that Cat has a patent on. I guess the only competitor sleds you'll see with a pipe sensor are the race sleds. Cat has a patent for using it on trail / consumer sleds. If this new mill proves reliable sounds like Cat found a pretty cheap way of meeting the emission standards. Granted E-Tec is great but it also adds a lot of cost & complexity. When the patent runs out will we see other OEMs using this relatively cheap & simple technology instead of DI??? Technology is what drives our industry forward, but it doesn't mean anything when the manufacturer doesn't stand behind their customers.....thats why I just switched to Ski-Doo from Arctic Cat after many years of buying their sleds who I believe have good products but their attitude towards their customers is the worst I have ever seen.

And Doo is any better. Take off the yellow goggles for a minute. The OEMs are all the same; one no better than the other. Let's see, cranks seals walking out, delaminating boots, ring flaking, etc. The best was the crank seal on my '03 800. I was told by a Doo representative that the 800s need to warm up at least 20 minutes before riding to keep the seal in. Priceless. I'm a Doo fan, but you got to keep it in perspective.

1) you got your info from Supertraxx - They usually embellish a few facts and I have found that they jump the gun a little on their findings - careful what you read from them
2) competition is good - keeps the game alive
3) pipe sensors have been used by AC and Poo for years - 01 or 02 If I remember correctly, when I saw the first AC model with one, was on a batteryless EFI model. So its not new technology. And Cat has had the EFI thing workin for them for quite some time.
4) DI is the future - you can bet that we will see more companies with it in the next year or two. Even on the 4strokes - I know that they are playing with it on dirtbikes/quads
