Why The 90 Degree Front Bend Came About NEW FOR 1994 - Arctic Cat Plastic Skis Engineered, tested, and perfected exclusively by Arctic. These high impact plastic skis delivered excellent performance. Each ski is a full 6 pounds lighter than traditional steel skis. That adds up to performance and response. Plastic Ski kit 0638-416 - $299.95 "Finding A Cure" A minor glitch has surfaced regarding the ultra trick and lightweight plastic composite skis found on the ZRT 800, ZRT 600, ZR 440. An error in how the wear bar mates to the ski bottom is causing some bars to not fully "seat". The problem is occurring at the front of the bar where it should retreat up into a notch located on the ski. In reality, the problem is a rather common occurrence. Other ski makers have had similar problems with plastic skis and wear bar mating for some time. Fortunately our sources say the fix is quick and easy. Simply loosen the nuts, apply heat at the right locations and bend the the end of the wear bar into its new home. With the right tools, weekend motorheads can cure the problem in minutes. If you're not up to the task, bring your scoot to your friendly Cat dealer and he'll have you back on the trail in time. Caption with photo - New Cat owners should check the the mate between ski and wear bar on the light, tight and just so right factory issue composite skis.
None of the holes in the ski were big enough for bolt weld material to fit in. The front hole was much smaller than the rest. ARCTCO- Service Bulletin P 95-07 December 1, 1994 CONDITION: The front end of the ski skag may catch on stationary objects which could result in a loss of control or A-arm and front end damage. There was an earlier bulletin but I have not been able to find yet. If anyone has any information on the lawsuits resulting from the injuries that occurred during the 1993/ 94 Red Light Rally in MI, please let me know. |
