Default Buying a new Arctic Cat 700 4x4

I have my mind made up I am getting the AC 700. Just dealing right now trying to get the price down.

I was wanting to know if there is any stupid sensors that shut down your engine or anything like that. I herd of AC's doing this in the past.

I think you are referring to the 04 Kawi powered V2's that had a glitch that caused a "limp mode" problem. It was corrected for 05, but that wouldn't be an issue for you anyway because yours will have the Suzuki 700 with Arctic Cat's own transmission. As far as the 4-wheel systems, I believe they are the normal shift on the fly systems on both, but the difference is that on the King Quad, when using diff lock, you are limited to 13 mph, but there is no such limiter on the cat. (Suzuki guys, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on that).

Good choice! You will love the 4x4 and diff lock system AC has. And if any type of outdoorsman, you will like the ground clearance and speedracks

They are close to the same but yet they are totaly diffrent. The AC uses a totaly diffrent frame. The only thing that is similar to the Suzuki and AC is the engine. AC has diffrent CDI and Exhaulst and Intake. Accorss with the ac set up you also gain i belive 130lbs. But I am getting a LE AC out the door for 7k. Not too bad.

ur right, its different, the frame and the plastic is different, but the Chinese made engine and the front and rear axles are the same. What about a new 07 Honda TRX 680 Rincon without the belt drive for $6599?
