I just bought a 2007 Artic Cat 700 EFI, i paid $4000 and feel like i got a good deal on it.

I'm gonna take it out for some light trail riding on sunday.

On monday i want to have it serviced by an Arctic Cat dealer.
What should i have done? I was thinking of having all the fluids replaced, and all the filters replaced.

It has a homemade snorkle kit on it. Do i really need that? How deep does the water have to be before i really need one? I plan on doing mostly trail riding in tampa (croom). Since i already have the holes cut for it, i think i might just order a more-put-together kit online and put that on.

Also, i came with some pretty big Outlaw tires. I'm thinking i might want to put some smaller tires with a less aggressive profile on there, or just buy a second set.

Any help on the maintenance you guys can provide is greatly appreciated.

Also, i just realized, i don't know what kinda gas goes into the ATV? I couldn't find a sticker on the ATV.

Thank you,

I also want to add a winch, you guys have any recommendations?

Thank you,

 

good buy. how many miles on it? i picked up my 08 700m4 new for 6800 last weak. good idea to get all the fluids changed and filters. maybe even a spark plug. its recomended after break-in and the previous owner may not have done it. a valve adjustment also but not every one does it. if your not going up over the front rack in mud/water, then the snorkel is not nessesary. the tires are up to you, its what ever you perfer. i put 28" swamplites on mine. oh, check and clean the air filter, also spray some airfilter oil on it before reinstalling it. i havent looked yet but most atv are 87 octane or greater. nothing over premium(no 110 in other words). im a fan of the warn 3.0 winch. ive had 2 on previous atvs and no problems. they are a little more expensive than others. they are sealed so water can not get inside. i did have an older 2.5 and it had all kinds of mud and grit in it. still worked though. good luck with the new bike.
