Hey guys had a couple of questions for you Arctic Cat pro's. I have always been strickly a Polaris guy, but recently had a oppertunity to ride a new Cat. I really liked the power and the ride, they have come a long way in a short time. So I do believe that I am going to purchase one for my wife. My friend who let me ride his told me that the only real problem that he has is, any time he rides through the mud and water, he has to drain his front and rear fluids. He told me that he has moved his vent lines higher and they still fill up with water. He also told me that this is a common problem with Cats, "is this true?" Other than that I really like the bike.

 

Not true. He must have leaking gaskets or leaking seals.

 

ive been through alot of water, matter of fact everytime i go out riding, and my headlights are under, and never had 1 problem like that. I have a 02 400 I manual

 

ill have to agree with everyone in here. if you need to look at my pictures, there is a few with my bike and a 650 h1 up to our racks in water/mud. we never had any problems with water in the diffs.

 

Exactly what im talking about mud, nice pics

 

another no on that one the only time i got water or mud in my diff was when my front diff seal was leaking. have your friend look his bike over.

 

Tons of rides with deep water, no problems.

 

you tell people that [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] j/k with ya

Nope, never had any probs with my 500 Cat like that.

 

Thanks for the info guys, I'll start looking for one now. Also any problems that you can mention that I should look for?

 

bought mine right out of the crate 4- 02 and have 600 miles on it and never had 1 problem with it, Im very pleased to own a cat, and them are probably 400 miles of hard riding 400 I manual
