Had to follow since I’m a a new rider on an 858. Definitely would like to see more maintenance videos. Something about the track tension on a catalyst would be interesting. Thanks Glen!
@sanderheide6102 I like the belt drive, converted my sled to one, but if I blow a belt its a pretty quick fix. No need to take anything off other than the side panel.
I like to start every season with a fresh belt and I check it every few rides to make sure it doesn't have any unusual wear. The service manual has more specifics and recommendations too. -Jeremiah
What a poorly manufactured piece of shit. (Hard plastic handle belt tensioner). What a joke. Bring back sensible well made affordable, fun machines. Edison motors is a great example of what I hope to see happen with power sport vehicles in the future.

Thanks! Great instructions! Definitely some great engineering behind this setup. Hopefully its patented.
Seems like it would be a pain to do on the mountain if it let go.
Would you rather change a chaincase on the mountain then?

How often should they be changed?

Haven’t changed a belt on the rmk’s yet …only 2 bolts on the polaris
So cheaper and less catastrophic when it goes but not something you’ll be doing at 10k feet in waist deep snow (much like a chain).

No wonder Cat stopped making sleds.
All you clowns changing your chaincase on the side of a mountain doubt it 😂 keep showing your ignorance 💯
What a dumb design.How are you supposed to do that on the mountain😮
Ha ha like we all pack a lift and impact tools.
You replace a chain on the mountain?
@Vince-lq3ve nope, but in 5 minutes my belt is replaced on my 9r 165
