The New AC 150
Has anyone bought and/or tried the new Arctic Cat 150 yet? It looks real sturdy, and only weighs 334 lbs., so it looks like a good replacement for my (soon-to-be-12 year-old) daughter's AC DVX 50. Best of all, it comes with headlights (Halogen, it seems), and reverse.
Any comments would be much appreciated!

Well to start with the new AC 150 is built by Kymco to Arctic Cat's Quality , and the design and Kymco also build's all of the smaller Cat's under the 400 class of AC's lineup ; and have been building them since AC dropped the Suzuki 250 and 300 class quad's !
My Local AC Dealer has so much faith in Kymco that she has started selling the full size Kymco 500 series quad's , she wouldn't sell a product that she didn't believe in whole hearted in ; so i don't think you could go wrong with a Kymco or AC for that matter !

This is a great little machine. I bought one for my daughter about 2 weeks ago, and she loves it. It does come from the factory with speed limiters in the CVT, but they can be removed in about 20 minutes with standard tools. I will post instructions on doing so in the technical area. Your son will love this well built, solid little machine!

New AC 150
Well, we pulled the trigger yesterday and bought the 2009 Arctic Cat 150 for my daughter. The dealer said that in addition to the variator restrictors on the clutch, there is a restrictor in the exhaust (behind the muffler) which you can take out to improve power further. However, I did not see this discussed on the YOUtube presentation where I first learned that there were 2 variator restictors, so the dealer may be wrong. Does anyone know what the truth of the matter is? (Dealers like Bass Pro are often uninformed about these types of details, especially with a new product.)
Also, I'll look forward to seeing the pictures of the variator restrictor removal process - thanks for offering this, sejust!
