Engine Type:
Liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, SOHC V-twin (for 700cc and 1000cc models); likely a single-cylinder for the 500cc models (specific engine details would be in the manual).
Displacement Range:
Approximately 443cc (500 models), 695cc (700 models), and 951cc (1000 models).
Power Output Estimation:
Power outputs vary significantly by displacement, with 500cc models likely in the 30-35 HP range, 700cc models around 45-50 HP, and 1000cc models exceeding 60 HP.
Fuel Delivery:
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) is standard across most 2013 Arctic Cat models for improved performance and fuel efficiency. Older models or specific base trims might feature carburetors, but EFI is expected for this year.
Oil Type:
Typically SAE 0W-40 or 10W-40 synthetic motorcycle or ATV specific oil meeting API SG or higher specifications. Specific recommendations will be in the manual.
Transmission Type:
Automatic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with engine braking.
Gear Selection:
High, Low, Neutral, Reverse, Park.
Drive System:
2WD/4WD selectable with front differential lock (Arctic Cat's '4WD') is a common feature, especially on XT and LTD models. CORE models might have simpler 2WD or automatic 4WD.
Cvtfuel Type:
CVT transmission fluid is typically a specific type of high-quality automatic transmission fluid (ATF) or a dedicated CVT fluid. The manual will specify the exact type and capacity.
Dimensions Range:
Approximate overall length: 82-85 inches, width: 45-48 inches, height: 47-50 inches. Specifics vary by model (e.g., TRV models are longer for dual seating). Consult manual for exact figures.
Curb Weight Range:
Estimated curb weight: 650-750 lbs (1300cc models could be higher). TRV models are generally heavier due to the passenger seat and longer wheelbase.
Rack Capacity:
Front and rear racks typically rated for 100 lbs (front) and 200 lbs (rear). Specific payload capacity is model-dependent and detailed in the manual.
Safety Standards:
Designed to meet industry safety standards for ATVs. Users are strongly advised to wear appropriate protective gear (helmet, eye protection, gloves, boots, long sleeves, and pants) as per the owner's manual.
Braking System Type:
Hydraulic disc brakes on all wheels are standard. Specific brake system component part numbers and maintenance procedures are critical and found in the manual.
Lighting:
Dual headlights, taillight, and brake light for visibility. Electrical system coverage in the manual will detail bulb types and troubleshooting.
Display Features:
Digital instrument cluster displaying speed, RPM, odometer, trip meter, fuel level, gear indicator, 2WD/4WD status, and warning lights.
Lighting System:
Dual LED headlights, LED tail/brake light, ensuring adequate illumination for various riding conditions.
Diagnostic Tools:
On-board diagnostics (OBD) capabilities are typically present, allowing for fault code retrieval using specialized diagnostic tools. The manual will detail diagnostic port location and common codes.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 1000 miles or 100 operating hours, or annually, whichever comes first. Specific intervals for engine and transmission oil are detailed in the manual.
Air Filter Service:
Recommended inspection every 500 miles or 50 operating hours, cleaning/replacement as needed based on operating conditions (e.g., dusty environments require more frequent checks).
Spark Plug Service:
Recommended replacement every 2000-3000 miles or 200-300 operating hours, or as specified by the plug manufacturer. Manual will provide specific plug type and gap.
Coolant Type:
Typically a 50/50 mix of approved antifreeze/coolant and distilled water. Manual will specify the exact type (e.g., ethylene glycol-based) and capacity.
Brake Fluid Type:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid is commonly used. Manual will specify the correct type and recommended procedure for bleeding the brake system.
Common Wear Items:
CV boots, drive belts (CVT), brake pads, wheel bearings, and tires are common wear items. The manual provides guidance on inspection and replacement of these components.
Electrical Concerns:
While generally robust, some owners have reported minor electrical gremlins or issues with certain sensors. The manual's troubleshooting section is crucial for diagnosing these.
Manufacturer:
Arctic Cat (now Textron Off Road after acquisition), a long-standing American manufacturer of powersports vehicles.
Development:
The 2013 models represent a mature generation of Arctic Cat ATVs, building on previous designs with refinements in engine performance, chassis, and features across the 500, 700, and 1000cc platforms. TRV models are the extended, two-up versions.
