IF you did not receive your Crossfire 1000 in the first build. You will not be taking deliver until after Dec 5th. I just talked to my dealer. Cat was not going to confirm the reason for the hold up. It sounds like a clutch update. God give me patience, but hurry up. Should the old Crossfire 7 Sno Pro.

Your thought about the clutch update being a hold up makes a lot of sense. I just bought an 06 CF7 and the clutch pins were all rusted as was a roller on the spider. I personally think the makeup of the steel itself was the issue but who knows. In any case, my replacement clutch still hasn't shown up -- the arrival date was pushed back. I'm also told it's an updated part number. I'm hearing that they will be available after Nov. 27th. I sure hope so.

Cat told my dealer, almost 2 weeks ago, that they were bulding mine on 11/03 and It should be at the dealer around the 17th. If I don't hear from them by next Wednesday I'm going to ask my dealer to call Cat again and see whats going on.

I know my CF8 SP, keeps getting pushed back. I was told it would be here at the end of October. Then it was November 6th. Then my dealer called cat and they said production on the CF8's would be ending on November 9th. I had my dealer call Cat again this past Monday (I'm such a pain in the ass), they said production had ended on the 9th, but still don't know when it's coming. It wasn't so bad before, but now we've been getting some snow here in the U.P., this is my first brand new sled and I'm getting pretty excited. I just can't stop thinking about that sled. Anyway, I hope it get's here soon. I hope you guy's get your's too. Happy riding, when they finally get here. :banghead:

My CF8SP is at dealer now (spring order). This is the first I've heard about any update??????

Well it looks like what Snocrossgod said is true. My dealer called today and told me Cat called them and said Dec 7th FUCK :frech32:

According to a thread on Snowest, it`s not a clutch update.

Can someone post the jist of the Snowest thread as I cannot get on there forums for some reason (Vista Beta).

Thanks.

If mine comes in after trails open, Ill be fucken pissed and never buy another Cat again.

And if people start saying its better to wait in order to eliminate call backs, thats Cats fault and should have had all this taken care of before they sold the sleds. Theres gonna be call backs anyway, so wtf....

And if its cause there suppliers can't deliver.....then Cat should hold them accountable and make them pay.

Just like the construction industry there should be a delay clause. If you don't get your product (sled) before a certain date then they pay you so much money per day.....That would put a shit load of pressure to get the product out and on time.

OK, here we are Dec 5th any word on delivery????????? I was at my dealer yesterday and no word to them, they however got 2 F1000 in on 12/2 :banghead:

My CF8SP came in yesterday. I'll be picking it up today. What I found out was...mine was held up because of the clutch. When they checked on the computer parts thing from Cat mine already has a different clutch number than the one they have sitting on the show room floor. So they decided to change the clutch for some reason, then the clutch manufacturer had to spit a bunch out in a hurry. Once they got there they put the new clutches on and crated them up. I'm not sure if the 1000's are the same clutch or not. But I don't think they should be much longer now.

That's all I really know.

Good luck, I hope you get them soon.

P.S. I took my 8 for a little ride, I can't believe the power even on my first little ride. I can't even imagine how those 1000's are going to be. Better find some way reinforce how your arms are attached to your body.

Had my 1000 CFSP for about 2-3 weeks. I feel your pain! :banghead: Yes I had it out today, better work on my arm strength! :div20:

Still weak, waiting on my new X8 SP.......dealer got a verbal committment that is was shipped monday....but no word as of yet on the computer. Leaving for WY on friday.......with or without it. Glad I ordered it in the 'spring'!!!!!! :frech32:

Allright I don't believe this bullshit and it better not be true, but here's a quote from Arctic Chat's Crossfire forum.

"talked with my dealer today, and you wouldn't believe what he told me. he received a fax from arcticcat saying that all X-fire 1000 that he had ordered in the last moth and a half, would not be delievered and that those orders would be cancelled. the reason they gave him for this was that the demand is greater than the supply. they have none left, what the hell?"

I've got money down on my Xfire1000SP and sold my 800 Polaris. If they cancel my order Cat better come up with $4000.00, not to mention the windshield, rear gear bag, orange ski hooks, precover, cover, D&D Y-Pipe, bullseyes, new jacket, and I just ordered a boondocker and BMP stealth pipe Monday. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

I just got word today from my dealer that they are FINALLY sending me my Crossfire 500 that I ordered in mid-October. I was told it would arrive with in a month. Then I was told on or around December 1st. I heard they finally shipped it, to be delivered on December 11th or 12th. This was after I expressed displeasure, politely, with the dealer, who probably passed it on to the HQ. I is a good thing we haven't been hit with big-time snow here already, or I would have gotten very irratated! As it turns out, my first trip wasn't planned until around Christmas anyway. It just bothers me they are taking so long after they said it would take very long. :banghead:

:banana: well now I can have a nice orange lawn chair to soak up some rays. sled arrived at dealer Tuesday. I know the sled will be great but lets see some snow. :banghead:

Still no fucking sled from my Spring Order............WTF CAT? :frech32: :frech32:

Still NO 1000 here, going to my dealer shortly and raise a little hell.

Well I went to my dealer and they said a truck came in yesterday and one was due today. They needed some time to do the inventory. Got home from work , there was a V mail from my dealer to call them, so I did..............THE BEAST IS IN I pick it up Monday. :banana: :banana: :banana:

So I think I maybe officially the last Spring ordered sled NOT to arrive yet...

Anybody else left?

Mine still hasn't arrived at the dealer, so I took one outa stock last weekend. I'll coment on the ride after I break her in and put some real miles on. So far its the smoothest, quietest sled I've ever road.

Good Luck and hope you get the sled soon.....

nope......you can't have the lone title.......I'm still without as well.......

Well, I finally picked my sled up today (December 16th). I see the clutch has a December 2nd stamp date on it. Therefore, it would seem logical it could have been the cause of the delay. I would like to think that, as my sled will be one of the last 2007s likely to be built, maybe they got it right. You know, with a minimum of glitches and nothing to recall it for, so I can just enjoy riding it....IF we EVER get some real snow!
