XCR, that's what my son had that scared the crap out of me, not an RMKI dislike Cat almost as much as Dall dislikes Hooskies & Fords.
Several of my friends had cats back in the 90's, I saw a few start on fire.
Trevor our club president, had a brand new T-cat, first weekend out, less then 200 miles on the sled, burst into flames, they blamed it on a leaky carb or hose. He bought it back from insurance company, he rebuilt it, 500 miles later up in flames, Trev said fugg it, let it burn, we just stood there and watched it burn.
Gary a guy I worked with, had a brand new ZRT 800, go up in flames less then 600 miles on it. We were out riding the rock river, I turned around no Gary, so I doubled back, there he was throwing snow on his new sled trying to put the fire out. His wife Trisha had a ZR 580 catch fire.
I've had probably 30 or 35 Polaris & Ski doo's. Only one I ever had a problem with was a new XCR 600, it snapped the crankshaft in two, Polaris put a brand new engine in it under warranty. I'd ride a dog sled before I ever owned a Cat.
In the bush Polaris was always #1 by a wide margin with Ski-Doo second and Yammy and Arctic Burst way way back
