I think I know why you don't see the Sport quad and the 2-up seat quad on Arctic Cat's website. The 2-upper is a prototype for next year and I think the 400 sport is too. That would explain the unfinished look of the sport model. They MUST release a big bore with locker or else they have lost the big bore market. That vinson motor better be in all the 500s, instead of that old quadrunner motor.

 

whats the big deal....same machine as suzuki and kawi. l

Jett
looks like you will still be riding a kawi only with an artic cat sticker

 

bbertram, below the AC 400 sport it says all 500's get the HP increase... Goodie Goodie

 

Never again will I ride a Kawi. I'm going back to cat where I can get factory and dealer support. Kawi does NOT know the meaning of customer satisfaction. I asked kawi cutomer service why cat came good for my warranty work and they wouldn't, their reply was, "were not Arctic cat."

 

Let me get this straight...

You asked Kawasaki about Arctic Cat warranty and your dropping Kawasaki because they don't have an answer? What are you thinking?

 

bbertram Stick with me here. I had a cat and cat honoured there warranty. So when I had problems with my kawi, I asked the Kawi customer service to honour there warranty obligations like cat did, and there reply was," were not artic cat." In other words your SOL.

 

I just returned from the Artic Cat intro in Las Vegas. All the 500's get the extra ponies and you can tell the differnce when switching from the older version to the newer version.
The TRV is awesume, the rear rider never gets in your way, you dont hardley even know they are back there. And the rear seat is VERY confortable to ride in. The TRV is not in production yet, but they have produced several. These will be traveling across the US to dealers to get their input and also input from the customers.
The Sport 400 is the same as Suzuki and Kawi, just will have different plastic. It has not been finalized yet but the 400 sport will be out later this year.
The MultiRack system will have open channel receiver racks both front and rear. There are currently 25 different slide-on accessory racks. These are specially designed for different applications, such as, Big Game Hunting, Farming and Ranching, Waterfowl, Fishing, Construction, and Camping. These all mount with pins and can be changed from front to back or for different configurations.
Check for full report that will be posted soon. (Soon as I get it written) :-)

I got you now Jett.

Rex:

Was there any mention of a locker for the 500's? How about a big bore? Is the lime green available to the manual too? Any price increase? Thanks.

 

Did not hear any mention of a locker.
The lime green will be available on 500 Auto 4X4, 400 Auto 4X4, and the 90
No mention of big bore.
They did not tell us about priceing, maybe the actual dealers got this info.

 

So sad, no lime green in the manual. This means one thing, they want everyone to buy into the automatics because their big bore is going to be an automatic. I guess next year we can expect a big bore in lime green and an auto but only if Suzuki releases a big bore. Arctic Cat is Suzuki but rebadged. Thank god for their IRS or else I would drop them in an instant.
