Always start it in neutral, never rev it in park, change the fluid in the rear differential often. You can’t get parts for rear dif anymore. Nor can you get engine cases new any more. Your left to used on many parts. Also the steering blows stock but there are some aftermarket steering kits that are awesome upgrades! I’m a huge arctic cat fan so I said these things so you know the draw backs. However, they are awesome machines that are fun to beat on. Always wear you harnesses, have fun!

[@cmullins999]

Great video man! Just bought a 2014 wildcat 1000x a couple months ago and it's a blast. The suspension on these are phenomenal.

[@riccochet704]

welcome to the money pit that is SxS's. I have a CFMoto 950 HO EX. Had an older RZR 1000 before it. While I use mine for rock crawling and technical trail riding, it seems like something breaks every time I go out. Just use it as an excuse to upgrade. And, yes, you should be getting a bit more power out of that. I'd pull the clutch cover and check the belt and clutches. They might be worn. Also, get it off the ground and disconnect the shocks. Then you can use a floor jack to check the suspension travel, make sure nothing is binding up and clearances are good. You landed front heavy a couple times and may have just bottomed it out and crushed the brake line. Also looked like the driver side axle boot crush sleeve was loose. Good luck with it! Stay safe and BRAAP!

[@cleighton1605]

Judging by the way the rest of the machine is cobbled together, it looks like most of the work was done by the machines owners and not a powersports mechanic. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't look like a bad SxS, but Arctic Cat has a reputation for being called "Arctic Crap" for a reason. Their 1000cc engines are also known to be the least underpowered of all the big name manufacturers. Fortunately on this unit, it looks like someone else has already spent the money on the upgrades and Joe was able to get it for a reasonable price. Getting back to my first comment, yes the clutches may have been replaced with better primary and secondary units, but whoever installed them may not have taken the time to make adjustments to get the best power out of them. They could very well be setup for a different style of riding altogether, which makes the machine feel like it has less power than it should. They may also need a good cleaning/greasing and the belt may need replacing as well, Arctic Cat doesn't have the best belt wear compared to a system like Yamahas Ultramatic CVT transmissions. Probably should take the time to do a really good once over before your next ride.

[@elijahbaker8248]

Hay when trying to jump a side by side, let off right before you get to the jump, then punch it and it will make the front come up. And you probably should let off before you hit the ground. Because hitting the ground under power will slap axels

[@jimmace6148]

Any jump that is shorter than the wheelbase will buck you like that unless you have the hp and traction to pull the front end up. Not gonna happen in a 85hp sxs.

[@zeonk1405]

[@j.j.clingman4083]

Definitely watch doing those jumps like you was doing!! The front was coming down first and then as the back comes down the weight of the side by side transfers most to the rear!! By doing that and any different kind of Terran could cause to blow the rear end out!!! I’ve seen it happen more than once before!!! Just a heads up!!!

[@Attz0r]

in the price range you’re looking at, I HIGHLY recommend finding a yxz1000r, it’s the cheapest modern sxs with performance capabilities of the higher end new units. Those arctic cats are decent but break easy.

[@AUSTIN_457]

This. I was going to comment the same thing.

[@WreckedRevival]

Should be a spring or snap ring on the inside of the outter CV stub that holds it to the axle shaft or it could be pressed on and need smacked off with a punch on the inner race of the CV joint.

[@cleighton1605]

Yes, I was going to say, he kinda made more work for himself by pulling the axle the way he did. Fortunately the inner boot looks fine and just needs another clamp. You may find its easier to pull that inner CV out from the differential when its time to re-clamp that CV boot.

[@wags9777]

Good luck. Every artic cat I've ever owned has either blowen up or been a money pit. Hope yours is better.

[@tanmansbikebuilds931]

I can’t wait for it to snow in Wisconsin! Can’t wait to see the snow machines you end up getting!!!

[@EminemRacing]

just take it easy... SXSBLOG started with this an it was always breaking down. there cheap for a reason! but none the less looks great!!

[@03roadking]

Now you need a skid steer to move dirt around make you some jumps for the motorcycles in the four wheelers

[@PongbyAtari]

Man that thing nose dives big time. I give it three more runs tops before you break something.

[@jayjudd6518]

I wanted one to take the garbage cans out. Neighbor uses a golf cart. Ties then tips it and rolls it to the road. Not sure what you need it for. Snow plowing seems a stretch with that front end . Oh wait you have an addiction with things with a motor. Ha Ha!

[@sedelmaierranch21]

Main thing with these machines keep up on fluids. Every 500 miles I check the rear differential fluid

[@shotgunz124]

U ride it like that u will break all kinds stuff They seem to not handle it without upgrading the suspension more…

[@troyrosenbaugh9935]

Enjoy it, those have become my bell cow here, everybody's going to those vs atvs. Wildcats are pretty nice sxs. Front difference can have issues but fairly simple to fix. Plenty of power. I do some factory required service on them now and then, I get to kinda compare all the ones I've seen. We've got a Honda Pioneer 1000 5 up. More utility than play but plays a lot.great pick up bud! Go make some good memories. Enjoy Mt friend, rnjoy!!

[@Tipsandtricks9762]

Man I would try to trade it for a honda p1000 not a 700 but a 1000. Way easier to work on and very reliable plus they are shaft driven no belts.

[@jake_of_the_jungle9840]

Killer deal I paid 6000 for my 08 rzr 800 60” last year, mine has these little metal guards over the a arms and lines. Maybe getting some for the Arctic cat if the make them would be worth it

[@davehudson3439]

Great deal! Surprised you got one that didn't need repair!😆

[@audioextremez]

Haven't finished the video yet but I'm sure you see that it says "Cat Piss" on the front of your SxS? Lol

[@jaredbauer3058]

Good change of pace video, but this is not the type of content I come to the channel for by any means. Not a SXS fan, some of the people that drive them and how they are misused in my area. (i.e. Poaching narrow trails, making their own trails, riding too fast in OHV areas, etc.) Stick to dirt bikes and ATV's and you will be golden. As you witnessed when you tested it - its a pretty 'benign' riding experience as well, kind of numb. Surely not anywhere near the experience of a dirt bike over the same terrain. That SXS seemed heavy and underpowered

[@Tipsandtricks9762]

I have the honda p1000 absolutely love it. 2 inch lift on 29.5 mud tires. I use it to keep up 2500 acers and for hunting. It's a beast. You can't beat a sxs. 4 wheelers are funner to ride in mud but you can do so much more in a sxs.

[@davegillette953]

Remember to follow the rules of sxs ownership. 1. Always leave the complete contents of your cooler (domestic beers or soda) on the trail. 2. Take every opportunity to ride off trail especially when muddy. 3. Make sure to go down all trails that are narrower than your wheelbase. 4. Take all turns on the opposing side at wreckless speeds. 5. Have a strict belief that camping involves staying in a vehicle that is at least 25% the size of your house.

Great video, and congrats on the new rig. Think you could pick up a Prarie 650 or Brute Force 750 to do a build on? Should be plenty in your area. Would love to see a good build video on these bikes.

[@CumminsDriver]

Everyone is acting like it broke, but what happened was a bolt backed out likely because someone didnt tighten/loctite it correctly. No fault of the machine.. Thats what caused the axle boot and brake line issues. Also, the jump is too short for a side by side. That is why its jumping nose down. And landing hard on the throttle like that is going to break stuff. If you blow up the rear differential they are hard to find and you cant buy a new one anymore. I have owned a 2014 model wildcat for 2.5 years now, it has a set of 30" tires on it and is setup for rocky and rutted trails and does great. I have had a few issues but nothing really major considering it was a little abused when i bought it. It has never let me down or broken anything out on the trail. They are fine if you take care of them but they aren't like an old manual shift atv that you can just ride day in and day out without maintaining.
