Congratulations on your purchase, you made a great choice. The Wildcat XX is , in my opinion, the best SxS you can buy. Largest cab, best ride/suspension , Yamaha engine and built to last. Great machine. Enjoy it.

[@TruckernutzBJL]

Really? A Yamaha motor? I thought they always used Suzuki...🤷‍♂️

That's right....Arctic Cat Family!!! Just waiting for mine.

[@MiK3Y13]

Great machine, I highly recommend keeping a very close eye on your oil level after every ride. Also make sure to follow the break in and change oil at about 250 miles.

[@ericlessard5021]

Do the engine like to consume oil or what?

[@MiK3Y13]

@@ericlessard5021 nope but it’s good to cuz you can prevent bigger issues if there’s any engine that might

[@lugster1nuts]

Pretty good machine so far. I have the 2019 an over 2000 miles with no issues yet!!

I own two of these machines, a 2020 and a 2021, these things are tough! I ride it hard and these things can take it. If you hit woops or hit rocky terrain hard, just buy a a pair of spherical balljoints and tool to keep on hand. I had one fail but will say this, the double shear design saved me. Actually i only noticed the steering seemed to be locking up and randomly pulling. Ran 60mph for the next 2 hrs and didnt even notice the balljoint failed till the following day when i pulled it out of the trailer. Sxs enclosures has upper doors, and i run a super atv flipup windshield, but for the extra 100 dollars i would do glass. Additionally one major thing that helps, get on amazon and order some heat/sound deadening mat. Its cheap like 20 dollars a roll. Pull both seats, then the center consol. With the consol out put heat shield in the tunnel by the driver and passenger foot area, do the tunnel and around the cup holders as well as entire back wall. Helps heat and noise. Also on amazon, the under steering column rubber air deflector works amazing. Keeps the heat off your jibblets in summer, but still flows air. When that fan kicks on it blows hot air right onto your lap. The diverter pushes it sideways. In winter you can leave as is or pull it off and it heats the cab good. One last thing and the made a huge difference on mine. Those cst tires will only last one season if you ride like i do which is high desert, mountain terrain with rocks. Also gravel roads those cst tires wander bad if over 12psi. Mastercraft makes a lt truck tire called courser mxt. I put these on as an experiment, they have grip like no ones business, they have a 50k treadware warranty and they are an amazing tire on to put on the xx. I did upsize but no clutching adjustment required and actually in the rockies it made my machine more responsive. For dust, if you run a rear window, and windshield, you wont like the dust. In summer i just pull my front window off. I wear a helmet if we arent trail trail riding, but a half window would be good. For early spring, dry cold winters, when i have the upper doors on, so full cab, there is no dust even with the gaps at the tub.

[@Eljefesidebyside]

Definitely nice but I'm very glad I went with the krx 1000.

[@RandomGarageUSA]

I was also interested in KRX, and Talon. But working at an Arctic dealer I got the XX.

[@austinr09]

I’m a Polaris guy but I can’t figure out how these don’t sell more. They have excellent suspension and power compared to other NA side by sides

[@RandomGarageUSA]

AC doesn't have much of a dealer network anymore, so the sales reach is limited

[@camaro69green31]

Agreed..... AC has no idea how to advertise their products. The worst PR company in the business. They make awesome machines.

[@joshualong9762]

I just got mine! I have to wait on the accessories package to get installed

[@KC-7mm]

I sure loved mine had to go to a four seater family is growing and it got to small for us. The suspension is very good but it’s a little soft in the rear I’d suggest shock therapy if you run hard

[@91NotchBack]

How's the aftermarket for these machines?

[@RandomGarageUSA]

There's not a lot. SPEED probably has the most. Not much from the big players like SuperATV.

[@randyjedneak8698]

What’s with the bar in middle

[@RandomGarageUSA]

Extra crash support

[@randyjedneak8698]

@@RandomGarageUSA I figured that out but it’s a blind spot besides looks like shit

[@ojtamayosr]

Any issues after 7 months of ownership?

[@RandomGarageUSA]

It was perfect until the last time out, it popped up a code U0100 and P0630, and limited itself to 6000rpm. The codes persisted for about an hour then went away and all was normal again.

[@ojtamayosr]

@@RandomGarageUSA Thanks for the reply. I mulling over buying one but I'm concerned about reliability. I currently own a KRX and the machine has been flawless.

Good to see another real man. Sadly the glory days of Arctic Cat coming outta nowhere seeming unstoppable, unleashing new machines the world could barely believe we're real as they raised the bar so incredibly high all others fell short! Seem to be gone..... I held out hope for years that Textron would follow thru as promised but it's clear they've done nothing but bleed Arctic Cat dry. Tried to take credit for the XX but we all k ow that's a lie. My entire family have an entire fleet of Arctic Cat, I ran 500M for years, old man a 650h1, I e had the thundercat 1000 with tatou tracks for a long time, my uncle has the mudpro 700, cousin the 700h1, other cousin the 650V2, uncle the 500A and I can keep going but you get the point we've had the best luck with these massive machine's, but Textron has destroyed the company that once was gaining debt but Arctic Cat was exploding and only growing gaining the strongest respect, the kind gained when they towed home all others after they broke or failed, and left the others far back in the dust even with an extremely good Rider
