I heard that this was posted some place else, but my computer takes so long to open these up, I thought that i would just ask. Is there a recall for the 2001 ZR 800? I thought that it had something to do with the pistons loosing compression after they warm up. I tried to talk to customer service at Arctic Cat, but I am always put on hold for days! Does anybody have any up to date info on this topic. My dealer doesn't know squat. I'm not very happy with him.http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forum/html/emoticons/cussing.gif



As always, thanks for your valuable info.

YES, there is a recall on the 01 800. It is a 02 piston Kit update. They were having piston skirt failures I guess.

Where do you live?? The dealers here in Minnesota keep telling me they are on back order and have no idea when they are coming in.
