    Typically the stock batteries are junk and don't last long. I replaced mine with an aftermarket maintenance free one and its been working well. Mike

    Aside from riding in the winter, I use my grill year round. Mike

    A roll of electrical tape, zip ties, flashlight, spare fuses. There is a kit out there for like $20 that gives you a bottle of slime and a compressor. Get that along with a plug kit as well. Mike

    For airflow to keep it cooler. That is why when people snorkel their machines you usually see three pipes. Mike

    Oh I will be there, I am helping them out again this year with prepping the trail and leading a group of riders. Here is a video I made from last years run. Last year they had 654 riders. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNX2oH_lhcs]‪Hallstead ATV Poker Run 2010‬‏ - YouTube[/ame] Mike

    I got started in 2007, my brother had a quad since 2003 but I had to wait until money allowed. I just like being outside riding trails and enjoying the scenery. Always have a camera with me. Now I got my girl a machine, its something we do together now. Mike

    The only problem I see moving the topic is the first link has the service and schematics for Arctic Cats only. I don't know if any other brands have their service manuals / schematics in PDF format. If you do have schematics in that format, this procedure will work just fine. Being able to print mine on 4 sheets of paper has been real handy. Mike

    The website that has the schematics located here. "K&T Parts House Lawn Mower Parts and Chain Saw & Trimmer Parts" The file is large and includes a whole slew of schematics, the question is how to extract out the one you need and print it? The diagrams don't print well on a regular sheet of paper due to their size so here is a procedure to get the diagram you need and make a nice print. This will be with utilities you can get for free (the best kind After downloading the large PDF of the schematics, go to this website here... Tracker Software Products :: PDF-XChange Viewer, Free PDF Reader Download pdf-xchange (its free) Open the pdf file with this program. by clicking on the selections you can get to the exact schematic you need. Once its displayed do this: File -> Export -> Export to Image Select "Current page" , Image type "JPEG", choose your folder to drop the image, give it a name like "2006 400 auto" set page zoom to 100% and resolution to 300 or 400 dpi Then click export. You will now have a JPG of the page. Next step is to go to this website... posteriza.com - Home Download the program (free) What this will do is allow you to tke this large JPG and break it up onto several pages. I use 4 for the schematics. Its pretty easy to follow and I print them without a border. Print them out and use an old fashioned "cut & tape" and you will now have a nice large printout of your schematic. Mike

    I would not run the quad with no air filter, that will cause you nothing but big problems! My old dealer (who is gone now) did not put my intake back on right and it sucked in unfiltered air and the next thing I know I needed a top end rebuild. Mike

    This phone isn't supported anymore and started running slow and crappy. Still too far out before I can upgrade so since there is no warranty anyway I rooted it and installed the 2.3 android system. Wow, its like having a new phone again. Don't get me wrong, rooting is risky but the procedure they have out now do make it easy. Mike

    The size of the JPG might be too small to see everything. The site that has the diagrams is here. "K&T Parts House Lawn Mower Parts and Chain Saw & Trimmer Parts" The 4th file down (note large file) is the schematics. Best bet is to make a large print of it to follow it better while you wrench the quad. Here is what you do. Download the large PDF, open it in adobe reader, find the diagram you need. Right click on it, select "copy image" then open paint and paste it in, save as a JPG. Now to read it properly it needs to be printed on multiple pages. Go to this site. posteriza.com - Home Download Posteriza (its free) Now you can open the JPG and print it on 4 sheets of paper and do an old fashioned cut & tape and you will then have a nice large print of your schematic.

    I Like the color of the Cat. Real sharp! Mike

    A loose ground wire will also cause this problem. Mike

    I have two 'Cats, 2007 400 4X4 LE, and a 2010 366 4X4 SE. Mike

    Welcome to quadcrazy! Mike

    It does that, if the site is not working, wait a day or so and it should be fine. I checked just now and its working. Mike

    Here is the diagram for the 2008 model, its probably the same. Mike 2008 700 EFI Wiring diagram.pdf

    The plug doesn't have to be fouled to have a weak spark. It may have gone bad internally. I would start there. Other possible causes is the carb is dirty, or the valves might need adjusting. Try adding a good dose of Seafoam in the gas and see if that helps it out. Mike

    Here is one I got.

    Arctic Cats have a CDI box usually located under the seat that could cause this. I could start my quad with the pod removed. (removed it once to dry it out) Also if the ACC fuse is blown the pod will be blank, but the quad will still fire up. (had that happen too) Mike
