Dealer called me this morning said he unloaded a truck load yesterday afternoon. Can't wait to get there and try one out. Has anyone else road one yet? I have to know if what they said about the new engine is true. He has a green 500 auto just waiting if I want it. Wow!

Cool, I have the 2002 Arctic Cat 375 4x4 and now I see they are using the 375 engine for their 400 model this year. Probably because the 400 model for 2002 had less CC's (373) than the 375 model (376).

Any thoughts?

 

Rode an 03 500 last night. Not all that impressed I am afraid. Seemed rather jumpy, not real stable, instruments looked cheap, tires regular dunlops (k123&125's I believe), shifter sticky. Liked how it was built with clutch bearing supports on outside in clutch cover. Felt solidly built. Was a new machine under watchful eye of sales person so took it easy. I now have a 98 Xplorer which is a completly different setup so this may have had something to do with my impressions. Rode a sp500 about 45 minutes later of the 2 I liked the sp500 better.
