Duster...Bell's Suzuki is where I got my Cat. My dad got his 400 4x4 auto. Cat there too. Neither of us have had any trouble whatsoever, and we ride some pretty wild trails. Water, mud, hills, the whole nine yards. Maybe that Cat you had was a lemon. There is a bad apple in every bushel.

 

yup there was a guy on the honda forum yesterday talking about all the hell his rincon is giving him, no matter what brand, every now and then someone is gona get the machine that was built at 4:30 on a friday afternoon

 

small suggestion why don,t you trade off machines so they can try it and if they still don,t like it well thats there opinion[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

your freinds are right.
im at the point that im scared its going to brake every time i go out.
and it does about every third time i go out.
its in the shop again and this time i thinking about trading it in on a honda when its fixed.
arctic cats are a nice quad but the axels dont hold up to any kind of bush riding and thats what i do alot of.
it will go anywhere but when it gets stuck dont beat it to much trying to get it out or your going to be replacing your axels.
i know im on number 4 now and this time my front diff blew the ring gear or the pinion shaft im not sure yet thay will tell me tomorow what the damage is.
and all you guys that have 500s who say there a great quad, say that after youve put 2500 miles on yours like i have mine.
i ride aproxametly 200 to 300 miles a month and its mostly in the bush riding and the cat is not very easy to ride on tight trails your arms fell like you bin pumpin iron for two hours.
but you know if it dident brake all the time i wouldent trade it for two hondas.
it realy rocks when its not brakin.
p.s. the only thing on it japanese is the motor and its the only thing that hasent broke.
