So not really a skidoo problem. Now if I had a nickel for all of my cat riding buddies that had problems... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I don't see doing anything more than the same maintenance routine I always do and continue to run it, still pulls triple digits with ease. Also have an 06 Sabercat 500 that will turn 10,000 this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great power, great fuel/oil economy and like our experience very reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
