I saw these at a dealer recently and they piqued my interest. I'm at the point of trading in, but nothing really excites me put there right now, especially with the prices! This bike seems like a heck of a good deal when you look at all the components on it and the base price of $8500. Wondering if anyone has any experience with this particular model that can offer any insight.

yea looking back at the pics, that one looks exactly like mine! I bet its the same model and year

Glad to hear yours is working out well for you. They still have the hand brake on the throttle side which is opposite of my Cat so I'm sure it would take a little getting used to, but I'm guessing it's there so that you take your thumb off the throttle. To me it kinda seems like it would be a nice bike to have for a few years until I finally take the jump and get in the SXS arena.

Don't knock patching something till you tried it. A rod came loose in my hotrod Briggs go-cart motor, hole size of a golf ball, bent a plate of aluminum, drilled 4 holes slapped on the silicon bolted it up. Worked like a charm. Hahaha I had to try.

First three digits should be "4UF" means its made in USA. Next two are year, Yours is "99" for 1999. Next digits are "ATV" The rest is the unique serial number for the machine. Newer smaller cats like my 2010 366, and 2017 Alterra start with "RBF" which means they are Kymco built. The rest of the VIN is the same. https://www.countrycat.com/country-cat-faq/technical-information/vin

A couple of things to add. Avoid deep puddles either full of water or alcohol

You'd have to measure to be sure , but the hubs may very well be interchangeable. My guess is they most likely are if they are from similar quad series. Hubs from a 250cc to 350cc bike in either series are more likely to be a direct swap than from a 250 and one with a much larger displacement. More power would call for heavier axles and hubs in most cases.
