I’m looking at a 2016 M800 limited 162. Any specific engine issues, or other issues to look for?
Sled has less then 1000 miles on it. Doesn’t look abused. Bunch of after market parts, like a 2.8in track that supposed to be lighter then the stock one.
Suzuki Engine is pretty bomb proof, 2.8 track must be a Conquer 280, very light but some reports I have read say it trenches worse than the Cat 2.6. Others than that 2016 has the narrow front end, improved Boss clutches and better skid geometry. If it still has stock skis you might want to replace them.
Nope. Great sled, just watch for your standard maintenance stuff. "bunch of aftermarket stuff" Throws a flag for me, usually means the sled was used, stock 16/17 was a good year, and just kind of works. The 2017 Mountain Cat is the sled to have of that vintage.Quote:

lots of great advice in this thread re sleds for sure, including what others just said about that 17 motor in the cats (research, dont own one yet).
wouldn't have wanted to dig my sled out for 20k for sure!

I know some people have MoPros racks. Did anybody order one of their new Empire Bags for the rack? Ive been getting the run-around on when those bags were going to ship...
I was told mine shipped 12/18. It hasn’t arrived, but our post office is notoriously slow.Quote:

12/21 i called and they said it would ship that day. UPS status changed to "Drop-off" (which apparently the seller checks, not UPS). It never went out.
12/27 I called and Mo Pros said it was at UPS and UPS just wasn't scanning things which i've never heard of. 1 hour later the status changed with a "pickup scan".
So maybe now they are finally on the way. Can't say I've been impressed with how long this has taken.
MoPros was probably too busy spamming various forums to ship their shit out.
I don't have a sled anymore, I just come here to tell MoPros to fuck off and quit spamming these threads.Quote:
