AC finally updated their entire website. Just go to the main ATV page. They have a few more pictures and details on the 650.

Thx lurch, havent been back there yet. Click the photo gallery. That 400 looks great. Hope it will compete [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Is the new sport quad the same as the Z/KFX?

 

Yeah it's pretty much the same with different plastic. Fof some reason I keep thinking they are gonna put Arctic Cats BEFI (Batteryless Electronic Fuel Injection) on it for an option. That would be sweet.

 

Looks like their differential lock will not be the lever pull like Kawi has. Looks like something you can put into place and it stays there. Pretty sweet.

 

Some changes from past models I have noticed in the AC 650 pics.

- on the red quad the tank is painted red (they were always black)
- also on the red quad the rims and racks are silver instead of the black and dark grey of the past
- new muffler design (no turndown tip coming out of the botom)
- new pod of course (digital)
- gas cap on right rear fender

 

i hope now that the aftermarket companys will start making stuff for us now. i am so glad cat made this bike. wish i had one. might see if i can talk the wife into getting me i mean her a bike to ride.best thing about this is all the stuff for the 500 i should bolt up to the 650. the gorilla axels will work as well. i allready have a way to get 20 inches of g/c out of my 500i, would be easy to do on the 650.

 

Im hyped to maximus. The wife isnt interested tho hehe. But id give up my manual for this machine.

Notice that it's NOT there on the LE model. Also, the tank on the green 650 is black, like the standard tanks. My guess is that the red one in the photos is not indicative of the final product, but I'm not too certain about that.

 

THE tank on the new 650 is 7 gallons i was told should be good on runs won,t have to fuel up 3/4 ways in the runs . sweet
