2016 Arctic Cat 500 Repair Manual

[alexwv1863]

I'm looking for a repair manual that's specifically for a 2016 Arctic Cat 500. I have looked in the downloads section and there's one but it's for 500,700 & 1000 models. When looking through it, things I'm trying to find to fix on my 500 is not specific for just that model, and it's geared more towards the 700 model. So, needless to say, it really isn't helping me. I really hope someone out there has one. Thanks.

What model is it Alex ? Does it have a name ?

It looks like most of their manuals cover several engine sizes at a time.

I know what you mean about the manuals not being very helpful laid out that way. It's always a good idea with any service manual to read right through it familiarising yourself with what's in there and what's covered in which section. If you do that and make yourself familiar with the manual, and perhaps make a few pencil notes of which pages are going to be the ones for your bike, it will no doubt get better the longer you use the manual. When I'm reading manuals for people in here I always have a pen and paper at my side noting things down.

Like their bikes, the jap manuals are always excellent..

I've got an Alterra 500\550\700 manual that has the 500 engine section and a 550\700 engine section separately, and most of the rest of it looks at a quick read mostly all the same for most of the rest of the stuff..  It may be better to use than the one you have.

I'll post it up.

Ooops, no I wont. The Alterra 500\550\700 one is already there.  Try that one, it only does three models.

I have a 2016 Arctic Cat 500. Basic, not an Alterra. I have the manual that has the 500/550/700 already. Just thought there was one manual only for a 500 that I hadn't found yet.

I have never seen one for just the 500, its always for the 500/550/700.
