Default Finally pulled the trigger today

Well I finally made my decision after deciding between a polaris 800 or a Artic cat 700.

I bought a 2007 700 EFI limited edition orange with the big bumpers and nice wheels with winch and I got it for $4500 with only 77 hours with 360 miles

So What do I need to look out for? I noticed that when you put it in 4x4 and then lock it, there is almost no way you can turn the wheels, it takes everything I have.

The locker is only to keep you out of, or get you through a tough situation. It's not meant for casual trail riding. You will find that regular 4WD (3WD w/limited slip) will get you through just about anything.

The Cat is a pretty tough machine. Might be a Suzuki motor in that quad.

Keep an eye on the seals. I'm sure the guys here will give you some additional tips.

Could be? Either way, you've got a good motor.

when arctic cat first made 4wheelers in about 1996, they all had suzuki engines. many models had entire suzuki drivetrains. suzuuki makes solid engines, you should have no worries. congrats on the purchase, now get riding!!
