I forgot to ask this question when I picked up my F7 on Friday the 13th, but did anyone get a tool kit with their new Firecat?

Pull back the pad on the front of the seat. It should be there.

Front of seat under the Nut pad. By the gas tank.

It's under the front of your seat, lift it up and grab the little handle it has and pull it out. Not the best place in my opinion as water does settle down in there and my tool bag was all wet from the shop washing the sled down.

Thanks guys. I forgot to ask and as you can see, no one told me.

ROOKIE!!!


J/K who would think to look there.

czy42strokes-Since you mentioned the water, maybe we should all put our tool kits in those Heavy Duty Zip Loc Plastic Bags to keep 'em dry.

 

[Slider79]

I was going to take mine out. ITS A CAT who needs it.

 

[BlackSaber7]

That is a TERRIBLE PLACE FOR A TOOL KIT :blink: I dont know who Thunk that 'un up. I know space is limited but...... :wacko: Come on guys.

Hit a mugul the wrong way and its bye bye to the BIG GUY :wacko:

Just buy the trunk bag and there is a "webbed" pocket inside the trunk bag, like it was made for it...... I agree with the water retention, it sucks....got all my tools wet...... I still say the old ZR style toolkit on top of the air box was the CATZ AZZ!!! Oh, the things we put up with to get a little more performance...

 

[BlackSaber7]

How did that increase performance by moving the TOOL KIT :wacko:


OK, So I'm new to CAT, But I never heard that would work. Damn, I'da tried that on my last sled LOL

 

[Mike C]

If I get the trunk bag for Christmas, that is where it will go.

 

[Nhpatriot]

Is there a tank bag available?????

Centralized Mass! LOL

Yes there is a tank bag and it works real well!
There is more space in this bag than my ZL's bag.

 

[SteveCZ]

What I meant was, instead of cat keeping a good thing (Tool kit under the hood) they moved it back to the pouch, and hid it where it will do some damage to some very important "parts"... mainly parts of the rider.....

I'm sure Cat's excuse is "Progress"..... BAH!!!!

Thank god I sold my ZL to my girlfriend to ride...... I'll just lift her hood and use the tools in her kit.....

that should save me about 2 or 3 lbs...... or a good MPH or so!!! LMAO

You're in trouble if you move it. The current location helps to strenghten the chassis and reduce the dreaded "seat flex"!


LOL

 

[F5firecatsnopro]

I think it was for performance gains by not having the airbox up there and plus it saved a little weight.With the airforced induction we are producing almost 8? more horse than the ZRS? i think i ma right there not 100% sure

I have seen racers go end over end and never loose their tool kit yet...heck half of them never even knew it was there. It seems to be a great location to me, because the tools never bounce around in that location.

 

[f7high]

Its better there because they could of put it in the trunk and would bounce around ir there.
