Puggz Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 As I know absolutely nothing about the older cats I was wondering if someone here has experience with them. The sled in question is a '07 F5 that a friend is looking at (see my other post). Is there anything particular they should look for on this particular year/model? All sleds seem to develop their own "niggles" as they age, just wondering what they need to be aware of. TIA> P> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackstar Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I believe Zoso's post refers to the fuel tank. It cracks along the flare for the sending unit. Arctic Cat only acknowledged this flaw a couple years ago. I would assume most of these tanks have been replaced by now but check to make sure someone didn't do a makeshift repair. I repaired the crack on the tank of the F6 we owned and eventually replaced the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
