bit the bullet and got a new atv

[waterwheel]

That seems like a lot of repairs for a new machine.

Mine's an '08 400 arctic cat and I've had enough repairs. Not 'lots' necessarily, but enough. Some of the repairs can be chalked up to the fact that I drive it like the toy it is. But still enough that I think arctic cats need a bit more repair than other brands. Nevertheless I got 2 ATV's for the price of one polaris. In the end, well worth it.

I take exception to all this "two Cats for the price of one Polaris" talk. Right now you can buy a new 2013 Sportsman 500 for $5499 plus frt,pdi,tax and licence. They are a proven machine with a Fuji (Subaru) engine that is reliable as a wood burning stove. There's a new EFI 570 replacing the 500 for 2014 so the push is on to clear them out.
