It’s getting alittle closer but I still have a bunch of stuff to install yet plus my wife bought herself a sled to ride this season that I started working on also so I have 2 projects going on at once. 😁
Thanks Blake !! A lot more to come buddy. Just ordered some Looney “TUNES” from Hurricane. Gotta keep up wit that new Assault Boost on the lake. 😉 Shhhhhh…🤫
Hey Garth, If it were me and your dealer is close by I’d take it back and get the 0W-40. The main concern I would have is just making sure the first Number is zero so when it’s really cold out the motor cranks over and oil flows easier with really cold temps. The 30 isn’t going to damage your motor it’s just not a high of viscosity when the motor is warm. Take Care
When I was adding all the upgrades the sled had 717 miles on it from my trip to Upper Maine the end of last season. So I have ashtray ridden it. I knew I was going to increase the horsepower so the upgrades needed to be done. These red silicone charge tubes are for higher boost the turbo use puttingnout now. At first I just wanted the red tubes to go with my sled wrap I still have to install. The Thundercat has a 270 hp tune in it now and all these upgrades were to handle the higher horsepower the motor's putting out. 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks speeder, The red is going to look way better with the deviant ink wrap I’m going to install on the sled at the very end of the accessories being installed. 🤙🏼 You’ll have to wait and see 😉
Hey Jim, I actually installed them to give the motor area a bit of contrast to match the Deviant Ink wrap instead of having it all black . The Silicone Charge Tubes can handle higher PSI in boost if down the road I wanted to increase the boost pressure over stock. 😉👍🏼
At first they were just cosmetic for the red color but when I decided to tune the sled, now they’re needed for the increased boost of the higher hp tunes. Stock charge tubes won’t hold up to higher boost levels. 👍🏼
@@BroBob1254 Yes sir.. The stock charge tubes are fine with the 225 tune. No other mods required, just the flash. Very easy. The 225 Flash runs quiet with the stock muffler and with incredible power increase while providing quick spooling and better then stock fuel mileage. Hurricane claims it works best with 87 Octane.
@@SometimeIsNow That's incredible! You gain 45 HP (or less if Yamaha is under rating) and you gain fuel mileage and run on cheaper gas!! Yamaha must know about this? Do you flash other sleds besides yours?
@@BroBob1254 Right now the Yamaha 998 is underrated by Yamaha and their claims of 180hp is at higher elevations. They have said that at sea level it's 200hp all day long but never below 180hp at 4,000 to 8,000 ft of elevation. I purchased the flasher from Hurricane so I own it just in case I ever had to go back to Stock for any reason.. I haven't flashed anyone else's sled but Hurricane said it can be used on more than just my sled as I asked if I could flash my buddy (RichOutdoors) '22 T-cat and they said yes. He just has to purchase the software flash and they'll load it into my flasher account and I just download it and load it in his sled.
brake kleen is like ky jelly for rubber hoses
Man now I have to add the Arctic Cat green ones on my TCAT. 😂👍🏼❄️
🤣😂 Yes you do !! Take Care buddy… 🤙🏼
Nice , shinny red. Keep at it , we'll be tearing up the snow before ya know it. 👍🏻
Thanks buddy, It’s starting to look a lot more like Phylis’s sled with all the red contrast. 😁 Won’t be long now.
Just looks better in red! Nice job
Thanks Gary, I agree… The red will match the colors in the Deviant Ink wrap i will be installing at the end of this project. 🤙🏼
Love it! Feels like it's getting close to fun time👍👍😂😂

Did you ever see Beaver Tail Toys channel? Guy up in Canada but he has some great content 👍👍
Yes, I watch his channel, Great content 👍🏼
nice vid not my regular yamaha dealer gave me 0 w 30 motor oil instead of 0 w 40 motor oil is it safe to use in my sidewinder

tks will do@@SometimeIsNow
are u putting all this stuff on the thundercat befor u ride or have u been on some trips with it already

Precision hoses look nice ready for Stage ? Is that a wait and see
Also waiting to see how this rides

I hear a lot about the charge tubes. What are the benefits? Larger I.D.? Won't collapse? Just an enquiring mind needing knowledge.

@@SometimeIsNow Nice. I'm thinking that there maybe some mods coming to your Cat. Say 280-300 hp. down the road.
@@jimdaniels3542 Naaaaa, I highly doubt I’ll go that much hp as I don’t want to add an aftermarket muffler. I like the quiet of the stock 4 stroke.
@@SometimeIsNow I like the quiet too. Maybe we can sneak up on another moose.
Are they cosmetic or for more power?

@@SometimeIsNow Do Stock charge tubes work for the 225 HP tune?
