Has anyone ever had probs with the belt drive getting wet on this bike.
Trying to decide on the 500 Qmaster or the 500 Cat auto.
Are the rear suspensions the same on these 2 machines. I know the motors are the cat seems to be the more grunt oriented machine though more towing cap. heavier rack cap. any info on either would be helpful

 

I can't tell you anything about the belt but I can tell you that the Suzuki and Arctic Cats share engines and transmisions. Everything else is different. The suspension is different. Look at both and see which one you like the best.

 

The engines are basically the same, the AC has a different grind on the cam and a slightly higher compression ratio. The suspensions are totally different.
