Induction Type:
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI)
Bore X Stroke:
Typically around 80.0 mm x 78.0 mm, but specific figures require manual confirmation.
Power Output:
Estimated 130-145+ horsepower (exact figure varies by tuner and conditions; manual will provide peak HP).
Cooling System:
Liquid-cooled, pressurized system with radiator and fan.
Fuel Type:
Premium Unleaded Gasoline (minimum 91 octane recommended)
Efi System Details:
Likely a Keihin or Mikuni EFI system with twin injectors.
Redline Rpm:
Typically around 7500-8000 RPM, specific value in manual.
Initial Break In:
Typically requires a break-in period (e.g., 500 miles or specific engine hours) with oil and coolant checks. Detailed in manual.
Clutch Maintenance:
Check drive belt condition and tension every 500-1000 miles. Inspect and clean clutches annually or as needed.
Chaincase Lube:
Check chaincase lubricant level annually. Change lubricant every 1000-2000 miles or per manual recommendation.
Spark Plugs:
Inspect and gap spark plugs annually or every 1000-1500 miles. Replacement interval varies.
Chaincase Lubricant:
Arctic Cat recommends specific chaincase oil or a SAE 80W-90 gear oil. Manual will specify exact type and capacity.
Coolant:
A mixture of 50% antifreeze (ethylene glycol) and 50% distilled water. Manual will specify approved coolant types and capacity.
2 Stroke Oil:
Dedicated 2-stroke synthetic oil injector system. Manual will specify approved Arctic Cat oil or equivalent.
Efi System Reliability:
EFI systems can be sensitive to fuel quality and can develop issues with sensors (throttle position, MAP, etc.) or fuel injectors. Manual provides diagnostic steps.
Clutch Wear:
Drive belts can wear prematurely if overheating occurs or if the clutch alignment is off. Sheave wear on clutches is also common.
Suspension Components:
Wear on bushings, ball joints, and shocks can occur with heavy use, impacting ride quality and handling.
