Displacement:
Approximately 700cc
Bore X Stroke:
Refer to manual for precise specifications (typically around 80mm x 69.7mm for this class).
Fuel Delivery:
Carbureted (likely dual Mikuni VM series, e.g., 38mm).
Lubrication:
Pre-mix or Autolube oil injection system.
Horsepower:
Estimated 115-130 HP (depending on tuning and specific model variants).
Torque:
Refer to manual for specific figures, expected to be robust for its class.
Carburetor Size:
Likely 38mm dual carburetors (e.g., Mikuni TM38).
Ignition Type:
Digital CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition).
Type:
CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) with Arctic Cat's own clutch system (APV or similar).
Clutches:
Primary (Drive) Clutch and Secondary (Driven) Clutch, designed for optimal power transfer and throttle response.
Drive Ratio:
Refer to manual for specific engagement and peak shift RPMs.
Chain Case Oil:
Refer to manual for specific Arctic Cat fluid or SAE 80W-90 gear oil.
Display Panel:
Analog gauges for speedometer, tachometer, fuel level, and coolant temperature, along with indicator lights. Likely no digital infotainment system.
Features:
Focus is on mechanical performance; limited electronic driver assistance features beyond basic safety controls.
Features:
No electronic connectivity features expected for this model year.
Oil Change Chain Case:
Refer to manual; typically annually or every 2000 miles (very high for a snowmobile, check for clarity on usage).
Spark Plug Replacement:
Refer to manual; usually every 100-150 hours of operation or annually.
Clutch Inspection:
Inspect primary and secondary clutches for wear and proper function at the beginning of each season and periodically.
Drive Belt Inspection:
Inspect drive belt for cracks, fraying, and proper tension before each ride; replace as needed. Recommended replacement interval varies with use, but often around 2-3 seasons or specific mileage/hour counts.
Chain Case Oil:
Refer to manual for specific Arctic Cat designation or SAE 80W-90 GL-4 gear oil.
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze (50/50 mix with distilled water) suitable for extreme cold temperatures.
Brake Fluid:
DOT 4 hydraulic brake fluid.
Drive Belt Durability:
Some models of this era could be prone to premature drive belt failure if not properly maintained or if subjected to excessive stress/heat.
Clutch Alignment:
Improper clutch alignment can lead to belt slippage, overheating, and premature wear.
Carburetor Tuning:
Carburetors may require periodic adjustment based on altitude and temperature for optimal performance.
Arctic Cat:
Arctic Cat has a long history in snowmobile manufacturing, known for performance and innovation.
