i just might trade mine in, or go for some kinda of lemon law

 

Yes, I ride at Windrock and some surrounding areas,you should go to pickett state park and ride also. My frame broke where the gas tank usually is.It's 3 or 4 inches away from any weld,I don't think you could cut the tubing any cleaner than it broke.My buddy rides the same places with no breaks.

 

NG, I have ridden Pickett a couple of times, before I got my 650. Love to ride up there also. Wish had more time to ride and more money to get there. lol Really would like to get back to Hancocks store and get another one of those bologna sandwiches.

 

Thats the best deal going,They said one day they had over 300 people in one day.

 

boy i hope that my 04 400 doesn't have that problem , for the money i spent on it ...i dont ride hard but what if i do after the 2 year warenty runs out ... has anybody heard of this on the 400 fis?

 

I talked to the Father in law...said that the 3 guys that had the Fram breaking problem did get 500s.....and they went and traded them for HONDAs......without riding them....

 

Inspected my bike this weekend found crack up by airbox.Found cracks in two other buddies bikes also.Contacted dealer waiting for reply from articcat.Also frame busted in rear due to rear end housing breaking! Still waiting for articcat repley on that one!If anyone has any info on what articcat is resolving this with?

 

Just heard back from dealer. Artic cat is replacing mine and two buddies frames. Artic cat says frames are breaking due to torque from engine. Getting replaced with new updated frames,thats COOL! Artic cat says symptoms can be hard shift and shifter popping out of gear. So all cat riders check your frames.

 

I don't mean to rain on your parade buuuuttt The frame they replaced mine with is the same thing that was in there before, I ended up working out a deal with my dealer and traded for an 05 650,I'm gonna pick it up Thursday, Good luck with yours.

 

My frame broke on my 04 650 , well actually it bent right where the gas tank would be on most quads. So the dealer cut off the serial number and replaced the frame with a new one. After that i was having MANY problems with the shifter slipping out of gear, dealer said it was the adjusting nut kept coming loose so they simply put lock-tite on it and i havent had a problem since.
