1st Time Arctic Cat owner What do i need to know? - Snowmobile Forum: Your #1 Snowmobile Forum

PHM · 10-28-2009, 10:26 AM

I've been into snowmobiles my whole life, we actually used to sell Polaris fro 1967-1975 so i am a polaris fan at heart but have had Yamaha's the last 10 years and wanted to try something different so i just bought an F8 Snow pro and an F5 LXI. I know every brand has its good and bad and would like to know what i have to watch out for with the Cats. I just sold my Apex and i had a lot of issues with that sled which i could have avoided if i had known. So i am trying to be proactive with your help.
Thanks!

check the recalls section for your sled year.

I hope there are no recalls yet! I haven't even got them yet they are both 2010 sleds. I'm hoping they will be coming in soon.

I've read reviews for both and they've both come in very good! The LXR bonus of the F5 adds extra luxury, and the 800 engine in the F8 SnoPro is the fastest ever, producing 163hp! There are no recalls and no problems; you will be very pleased!

WOW! Keep us posted on the F8! Everything I have read is ALL GOOD!
