Engine Type:
Likely a multi-cylinder, liquid-cooled four-stroke engine (common for touring snowmobiles of this era). Specific details like cylinder count, displacement, and bore/stroke would be within the manual.
Horsepower Range:
Typically in the 60-90 HP range for a touring model of this size and era, optimized for smooth power delivery and comfort rather than peak speed. Specific figures found in the manual.
Fuel Delivery:
Likely fuel injected (FI) for optimal performance and fuel efficiency, though carbureted models were also common. Specifics in the manual.
Cooling Method:
Liquid-cooled, utilizing a radiator and fan system.
Transmission Type:
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) via drive and driven clutches.
Optional Gearbox:
N/A for this model, CVT is standard.
Clutch System:
Arctic Cat's proprietary clutch system (e.g., Arctic (ACT) Drive and Arctic (ACT) Driven clutches), requiring specific setup and maintenance procedures detailed in the manual.
Chaincase Oil:
Specific synthetic lubricant required for the chaincase. Manual will specify viscosity grade and part number (e.g., Arctic Cat Synthetic Gear Lube).
Crash Test Ratings:
N/A (Snowmobiles are not subjected to automotive crash testing standards.)
Braking System:
Hydraulic disc brake, likely with a composite rotor. Specifics on brake fluid type and bleeding procedures in manual.
Throttle Control:
Thumb throttle with adjustable tension. Cable maintenance and lubrication covered.
Seat Design:
Two-up seating with passenger backrest and handholds for enhanced passenger comfort and security.
Lighting:
Headlights (high/low beam), taillight, brake light, and potentially auxiliary lighting. Bulb types and replacement procedures in manual.
Instrumentation Cluster:
Digital and/or analog gauges for speed, RPM, fuel level, coolant temperature, and possibly other indicators (e.g., check engine, oil pressure). Manual details diagnostic functions and indicator meanings.
Efi System:
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system for precise fuel delivery and engine management, improving performance and emissions. Manual provides diagnostic procedures for EFI components.
Electrical Accessories:
Provision for accessory electrical connections, such as heated grips/seats, auxiliary lighting, or GPS units. Manual covers wiring harness and fuse locations.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 1,000-2,000 miles or annually, depending on usage. Specific interval and oil type for the engine are detailed in the manual.
Clutch Inspection:
Regular inspection (e.g., every 500 miles) of drive and driven clutches for wear, belt condition, and proper alignment. Manual provides detailed inspection and adjustment procedures.
Track Tension:
Periodic checks and adjustments of track tension, typically every few hundred miles or as needed based on riding conditions. Manual provides exact specifications.
Engine Oil:
Specific synthetic or semi-synthetic engine oil with a recommended viscosity grade (e.g., 0W-40, 5W-30) and API service classification. Manual provides exact specifications and capacities.
Coolant Type:
Proprietary or a specific OAT (Organic Acid Technology) ethylene glycol-based coolant. Manual will specify type and mixture ratio (e.g., 50/50).
Brake Fluid:
DOT 4 hydraulic brake fluid. Manual will specify if a specific Arctic Cat branded fluid is recommended.
Common Wear Items:
Drive belt (consider replacement at recommended intervals or if damaged/worn), carbides on skis, track lugs, suspension bushings. Manual details inspection and replacement of these.
Clutch Maintenance:
Proper clutch alignment and cleaning are crucial for belt life and performance. Manual covers clutch service.
Arctic Cat Legacy:
Arctic Cat has a long-standing history in the snowmobile industry, known for innovation, performance, and off-road capability since its founding in 1960.
T660 Touring Development:
The T660 Touring was part of Arctic Cat's effort to offer comfortable, long-distance touring snowmobiles, often featuring larger displacement engines and amenities for rider and passenger comfort. This model likely benefited from advancements in engine technology and chassis design from previous years.
Manufacturing Location:
Likely manufactured in the USA, as Arctic Cat historically produced its snowmobiles in Thief River Falls, Minnesota.
