i know a guy who had his 07 650h1 ruin the top and bottom end with 150 miles on it and they covered it.the stock carb boot was defective and was allowing water and dirt to slowly get into his motor every ride until it blew up.you just gotta talk with your dealer and if it wasn't caused by something you did then by the terms of your warranty they really have to cover it.i'de call arctic cat myself and tell them what your problem is and they should be willing to help.

I called them already and they told me that they cant make the dealer work with me. They said if it was a seal or a part failing then they would have to cover it. I just got a new axle put in about 2 months ago and the seal leaked I guess and got mud and water in my front end and the dealer dont want to cover it.

well drive somewhere else to get work done or get a good lawyer,because if you have a warranty and a part failed and you had nothing to do with it failing or they have no proof that you had anything to do with it then they have to fix it under the terms of the warranty which is pretty much a contract.

But anyway thats what im gonna have to do is just find somewhere else to go, thats just bull crap. I sure need the bike to get ready for hunting season too, this sucks.

Everyone needs to be ready for all dealers to buckle down on the warranty work that they do. I know there is a letter that was sent out to dealers that there will be inspections on bikes with any broken drive line parts (axles, driveshafts, diffs, etc.).

thats good info to get out to everyone for sure, basicly if your not stock and tore up the drive train some how might not be covered anymore..

sucks but good to no.

Modifications that could void the warranty are lifts, aftermarket axles, bigger tires almost any mod we do is listed. 

I personaly feel like AC is trying to weed out the dealers that are making fraudulant claims. 

Also alot of us Cat guys have gotten away with alot of stuff being fixed that was not the machines fault but the tires and our thumb. If we do not want to see this become a big issue for all the dealers we need to try and control ourselves better when we are in a nasty hole.

Just my 2 cents

I fully understand what AC is doing and i dont blame them. i would feel bad taking my quad to them to have fixed after i beat the crap out of it. matter of fact the second bevel gear i broke my 500 was still under warrenty and i did not take it in i fixed it myself because it was my fault.

I would also add that people need to realize that Arctic Cat does in Fact READ THIS FORUM and when you post crazy stuff that you have got covered under warrenty buy your dealer does nothing but HURT OUR DEALER, most of us have our location under our name or give the dealer name so its easy to put 2 and 2 together for them to see what dealer they need to visit and put under the scope.

so lets think about this before we make a post that could be done threw a pm as to not hurt the few good dealers we have left..
