What is this supposed to mean??????
put a real turbo on that gade pushing more than a few lbs and she will blow in about 5miPut a turbo on that 1200 gade and hang on
Cat using Yami's direct injection system seems to make the most sense. Yami has it in its outboards and isn't using it for sleds. Otherwise I don't see the point for Cat to switch from Suzi. Plus if Cat makes its own ATV engines they probably have intention to make their own sled engines too.

I guess I don't get the whole Yammi A/C potential collaboration theory. For years the big 4 brands have marketed their companies and their products as being different and unique from the competitors. Now all of a sudden 2 competitors are going to climb in bed together and they(respective companies) feel that will not hurt the CORE customers that they have worked so hard to grow. Come on! There are plenty of engine manufacturing companies out there that Cat could outsource to if they wanted, that would not include "sleeping with the enemy"! This theory seems about as crazy as Harley and Honda joining forces. I could be totally wrong here but it just does not make any sense unless we are talking about a pure financial move in that perhaps along with the break up with suzuki Cat is also obligated to buy back the shares of the company that suzuki currently owns and maybe Cat does not have the available funds to do that so they in turn are looking for someone/company that does. So did Yammie Buy out suzuki in their shares of Cat and the gentlemans agreement is the new engine plant will produce both Cat and Yammie motors but entirely seperate. The masses would not care about that. They could share technology but the sleds need to remain very seperate. I just think a joint sled with different colors and badges is a recipe for disaster on both companies part. Cats financials have been strong and problematic sleds or not the brand loyalty is still alive and growing. I see a similar "cult like" following with Cat as in Harley. This is part of what just baffles me in all the talk about this subject.
Again, maybe I am in left field here but just my 2 cents!
Rumors from Dewalt that they are coming out with a 480v, hyper conductive electric sled, using copper chromium hydride batteries with a net weight of 422 lbs, equivalent max HP of 145, top speed of 105 mph with direct drive (no clutching, no gearing, no lube). Recharges from 10% to 100% in 65 minutes with standard 120 v household current.
Ok, dream over. Maybe someday though!

I like it! Just think of where we could go out west with a no noise sled!
Put over 2,000 miles only thing that ever blew was stock clutch ,,,,,took a second in outlaw open mod class out east at the Poconos hill drags with the only sled with trail stickers and reg on it in that class of 14 with my fat azz on it and rear view mirrors to boot,,put a real turbo on that gade pushing more than a few lbs and she will blow in about 5mi
heck they are cooking in 660ft and need to be towed back to the line
