Well the choice has been made, After riding S-D for years I will be jumping ship & snow checking an F7 next week.
I was wondering what you long time die hard cat guys and gals think or have heard about this sled? Are the Hp#s and weight what we will see when they go into production? How is AC for warrenty work?
Where in southern Ontario would you guys recomend for buying and service?
Any info will help.
Thanks
Nick, Gills Rock is in door county we're right on the tip of the peninsula. As for the snow there is none the trails have been closed for 2 weeks now. Tell me what town you were in so i can tell how close you were.
Chubby if you're going to buy in southern ont. check out Aberfoyle Snowmobiles.It's just south of Guelph on hwy 6.I've dealt with Glen for years and he's a good to deal with.
It's a bit of a drive for you 1 hr. But Dryland Marine in Oak Ridges (Richmondhill) is an awesome Cat dealer! No complaints & I will be dealing with them for many years to come.
As for the HP of the F7, Cat always seems to claim the true HP, or sometimes they claim lower than the actual ratings! If they say it's 138 hp, it will be atleast 138 hp, by Fall.
Oh man.. All i gotta say is they look sweeeetttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want one.. But I realy don't wanna give up my 00 ZR LE just yet.. especial when i gotta buy my dad a sled this summer.. hum... I wouldn't mind giving him mine, but it's to much on the low end for his taste.. Maybe next year. I was hopen they would offer the 500 in efi.. :-/
I couldn't wait till next year, bought a ZR800efi cc. I sure hope I don't have the problems with the shocks I'm hearing about. What do you think about gearing and clutching for this sled???
You should have waited. The firecats are gonna be awesome. I to bought a ZR 800 efi C/C but will be gettin rid of it for a new fire kitty 700. I think they are gonna fly or at least I hope they do. Don't get me wrong, I love my 800, it is the favorite machine that I have owned but lighter is better, in my opinion.

I remember talking with Al Shimpa of Cat and the ZRT600 from Cat was supposed to be 135-140 horse with the Power valves, and even he was pissed off at how production models put out less than 125, and were slower than the 6's without Power Valves. That was only 3 years ago. I hope Cat is not pulling our leg on 500 and 700's. Kick butt if power is all there!
I have a 1989 jag 340 deluxe that tried getting running and had problems with, cleaned the crabs and everything. I get it idling fine then I breathe on the throttle and it dies down. Then after idling for 5 minutes I found a puddle of cloudy oil on the floor and wondering why it’s cloudy because...
I'm trying to decide between two comprable sleds and really don't know that much about them in with the differences and benefits are to each. One is a 2002 ZR 600 EFI the other is a 2002 ZL 600 EFI. Which one is more reliable? Which might be better on gas which might be faster anybody have any...
I have a 1999 Arctic Cat Triple Touring. Just had it in the shop and had the carbs cleaned and a new fuel filter installed. Problem is that after around 5 miles, I lose power. Sled will still idle, but when giving gas, the engine bogs. Engine will still start when doing the bogging mode. If I...
Hi all just got this sled it was sitting all lonely and dejected waiting for a new owner and I showed up! It needs carbs 38mm mikunis and the stabilizer bar end piece with the 2 screws and bushing brake side 125 lbs compression, blue spark, etc
Hey all,
First post in a long time. I just bought an older sled after many years without one. This is a lot newer than the sleds that I had years ago so I am hoping that someone can give me some advice.
I just picked this up last night and haven't had a chance to really look at it much yet...
