I have just begun negotiations toward the purchase of a new H1. I am wondering what some of you guys have paid for yours as so I get the best deal I can.So far it is sitting at $11,000 cdn. with the 2 year warrenty and 2500# winch installed. I know they will come down but I want to know how much I can push the issue.

 

In the US they are about $7100 + tax. Not sure about the canada conversion though. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

i dunno bout up in canada but here in the states we get a 3 year warranty on the new cats now. and the conversion rate is so close now i think it is .18 on a dollar so you would actually be better off buying one in the states. and keep in mind it changes every day.

 

I bought mine for $7300 including tax title and license.

 

Just bought my H1 650 cat for $9763.00, incl. warn winch,fr & rr bumpers, & 2 yr warranty. I live in northern manitoba and I bought my bike locally. For an extra $300, I had the stock tires changed from stock to 27 in. mud lites. This is my first cat. Have heard some good things about the new cats which was a factor in my decision. Just need to break it in now. Can`t wait for the weekend to try it out.

welcome to the site nichi and remember to break it in hard.

 

Thanks for the welcome Catterman and weez440. Everyone seems to agree that I should break the 650 cat in hard. Well, I suppose I`ll just have to do just that. This I will enjoy. Thanks for the advice.

 

don't hold the throttle wide open for longer then 5 seconds or at any speed for longer then 5 seconds and i read and article the best way to break in a 4-stroke is to crack it down hard hold it wide open for about 5 seconds and let off hard and let the engine breaking slow it down the hit it hard again. i could get into all the technicals i guess if you like i could try to find the website and it made alot of sense how the rings have only so long to seat and if you drive slow there will actually create a ring on the cylinder walls that isn't quite at top dead center that makes the rings bow down therefore not getting the full compression.

 

Same goes for the V2. I broke mine in hard, and it has excellent power now, and runs great. I broke in my Honda fourtrax, which is a 93, the same way, and it has yet to have a major problem.
