Can you be a little more specific in your question and your concerns, and oh, please try to write a little more legibly.

good luck

I think the only thing would be that without the sway bar and with stock tires the Arctic Cat does sag in the corners on harder turns. However it is nothing bad. I have riden a SP400, they are good machines too. I think you will really enjoy an Arctic Cat 500 though. Good luck [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

the reason arctic cat gets the reputation for being tippy is cause well they are one of the tallest atv's if not the tallest atv on the market. but the main reason is cause the radial tires are crappy they have a very soft sidewall that actually folds under itself on hard turns. i have about 50 miles on my stock rims and tires and the rims are all chewed up from the tires rolling under themselves. if you get a 400 cat get a good pair of hmmmm with a 400 i would say itp mud lites and it completely takes care of any tippyness that you are concerned about. if you are not gonna ride really aggressive you may be just fine with the stock tires but so you know there is something you can do about it.
