Breaking My New SXS On The First Ride.. | Arctic Cat Trail Problems

- On our maiden voyage with the new Arctic Cat Wildcat Trail, things were going great! I was amazed with the performance of the machine, we weren't being easy on it either, with wide open runs and harsh bumps and corners, the suspension and engine were eating it up like it was nothing!
Unfortunately all was not well and after the machine got up to temp we were having a hard time getting it into gear, throughout the day the shifter got stiffer and stiffer and eventually we got stuck at the top of a hill climb and couldn't get it into reverse..
Thankfully we were able to roll down backwards and continue the rest of the day with one speed and one direction..
Stick around to find out what caused this!

That mud slinger aint no joke. A buddy is a Amsoil Rep. He used that on his machine before our last ride. It def made it look brand new and its an 04. It didnt keep it from getting muddy, but when we stopped for lunch, I took my hand and was able to just wipe away the dirt and mud from the lights. While on my machine I had to really scrub. World of difference.
Mashing the shifter around like an idiot isn’t gonna help man, your gonna continue to have issues if you shift like that.
It's good to see you having fun and even better to see a sponsor. Nice work. Keep driving it like you stole it!
Thank you!! Happy to be back on some wheels, training or not.
What’s up from Massachusetts!
Love the content! Can’t wait for more!
Get better soon man!
Thank you Cameron I appreciate that👊🏻
“Oh yeah it definitely runs better” 😂😂😂 dude i was dying. Always enjoy the videos tanner!
Thank you Nathan😂😂
Nice bro, that’s sick you got a sxs while your leg is healing! Genius👌🤙
LMAO the screaming at the Amsoil was hilarious man!
Great content with the Wildcat man! I love hearing that thing wail in the trails! I don't know if you have a Turbo Nozzle that rotates for your pressure washer, but man, look into that for cleaning, it cut down the time for me with my SxS. Hope all is well on your end.
Congrats on your sponser, I wish I could be that lucky some day
Thank you! Keep working💪🏻
I have a sport 700 and absolutely love it. I have had it for a few years now and you wouldn’t believe how reliable these things are. I live in Alaska and we have some of the most hardcore riding in the country and those little wildcat 700’s are amazing. The power to weight ratio is awesome on these machines they even make a bad ass turbo for these but they have plenty of power without. Power steering is a definite plus once you have it you never want to go back. Come up hear to Alaska and I will bring you places that will blow your mind. Keep up the great content hope your leg heals well
Garrett Strutz everyone of em I’ve seen are piles of shit ur lucky
Paid comment lol
Definitely not paid unless your paying me. Mine is the 60 inch sport model it’s been bullet proof and I absolutely love the performance and how light weight it is. Thousands of problem free miles for me. I do have the much better suspension than the trail models though
@@garrettstrutz7421 I'm looking at the XT 2016 I'm going to offer 7k and not a dollar more
@Blake Sanden mine is the limited sport with EPS as long as it doesn’t have to many miles 7k is a good deal you can pick up late model new ones for around 12k at the dealership with no accessories or extra’s. If the one your looking at has a roof an winch and other goodies that should be a pretty good deal
At least it was an easy fix and congrats on your new sponsor
Thank you Craig🙏🏻
What size trailer are you hauling on?
Knee looking better. Giggles in the background always cute and nice to hear. And no Knee drags on the four wheeler. Looks like there may be PDF's out there to see the insides. I doubt it wants a fist or hammer shifting it, while not moving, so the cable being previously broken says something else was going on.
Thanks Mark! We got it figured out, thank God for forums💪🏻
Wildcats do not like when you stop on an incline in park. They sell a brake lever that you can flip over the break and it locks it on when you leave the vehicle in park. Same problem I had on 2013 and 2015 Wild Cat. If you try to force it you will break the bolt between the shifter and the cable. By the foot lock and use it and this will not be a problem
one things for sure- hammering on the shifter like an id.. never helps- this things- any brand- need to take care and mantainance- have u ever reed the manual?- lookin for he shifter/cables from time to time helps- and for the nuts- and- you need some kind of FEELING for that sxs shifting- which is NEVER as smooth like on a honda transmission- we had 3000!! troublefree kms on ours- good luck
Whats in the tool kit? I need one.
What year is it
Sandpaper the clutch down alil. Worked on mine , haven had a issue since
That's what we did!👍🏻
I've always been a bike guy but the rush of slaming gears in a side by side is pretty awesome definitely way better for my busted ass back just price
Amsoil makes good stuff, glad you got them as a sponsor!
Definitely one of the best in the business! Thankful for sure.
I love how your wearing crocks!! Love the channel
Crocs and sweatpants baby! Thanks Noah👊🏻
I have the clutch puller (you’ll need it to take the clutch out) , & its a special tool ,, I’m in Columbus also,
Thank you Roger👊🏻 Good to know if I need to replace it in the future.
Welcome to Cat life!!!!
Happy owner!
Time for a trade in. New YAMAHA wolverine 1000 x2 Tmax is so awesome.
lmaooo the tik tok edit. Congrats on the Amsoil sponsorship!
Yes😂 Thank you!
Spray cleaner works great!
Sucks that it broke can't wait till the next video
All part of the game! Thanks Gage👊🏻
Never seen someone spray so much of that I my whole life😂😂
aren't you worried you're not going to fit ? : Tanner :floors it more lol ....lexis where ya been have not seen you on stream in awhile
"Man, actually a useful tool kit." Almost like they knew this would be a problem after testing their own machines before launching. This was their cheap and easy solution.
RicerMiata had the same problem i think lol
Yeah he did I just looked it up! Was hard to find videos of it.
Clean your primary clutch ,it will solve the problem
Everybody i know who buys a SxS breaks it within the first 3 rides.
Sad but true!
I see you guys are in Ohio, where about? I'm also in Ohio and looking for people to ride with or places to ride my wildcat sport
Rips pretty good..
Pledge does the same thing, and smells like lemon's! Been using it for year's!
Pledge is THE BESTEST EVER...
BEEN USING PLEDGE SINCE THE 80s
This stuff smells like sour apple haha!
Yeah.. it smells like it to yellow jackets in the summer too😂
@@AdventureDaily gross. I drink brags apple cider vinegar with warm water. If it smells like that stuff tastes.... ekkkkk
The good part is you know what to do if it happens again though
Absolutely! I feel better about owning the machine now that I know a little bit about it.
Its your primary clutch buddy
I think you got the same exact one that ricer Miata had
Yes I didn't realize he had one!
Poor Alexis😂
Probably bad to say but I would rather that trouble with my bike than my truck. My truck is dead till at least tomorrow as long as the part i need comes in till I fix it we are stranded.
Speedman!!! Even o 4 wheels!!
Yeah buddy! Have to feel that same rush.
Mud slinger u got a link for that bro

@@AdventureDaily ThankYou
What's up from Indiana
What's up from Ohio!
Are you and Alexis still together?
Nvm
@@gonefishin2174 .
Hey I was gentle on her! If anyone out a scratch on it, it was MJ! Lol
My buddy had the same problem with his 1000
It's a common thing from what I have learned!
She didnt seem to be having a lot of fun. I like driving like that, but not with a passenger. I sure as shit wouldnt be in the passenger seat. Probably why ol dude got out.. lol
Same thing happened to ricer miata
Yea it must be a design defect
It’s not like a car you have to be 100% stoped to change gears
I am aware of that
You missed a spot with that mud slinger.
Damn! I will spray it down again😂
That shifter looks like a very weak link.
I admit I do not know shit about side by sides but Polaris would be what I'd had to went with unless Honda makes a side by side.
I don't care for those doors, I like full door's & I want them to open the other way.
Thought that look like wayne national
Good eye!
Dude you got to take it easy, you are 100 percent going to crash driving like that
I'm here for a good time not a long time!
@@AdventureDaily ahh the conference of youth! I hope you get to be old and achy like me and remember thinking that exact thought.. but that doesn’t mean I’d have changed a thing.
@@Kickstart500 Honestly that was just a corny quote to reply because I don’t feel the need to defend myself haha.
@@AdventureDaily you don’t my friend! I’m 58 and people tell me I’m crazy to be riding. Especially the KTM, but hey you do what brings you joy and weight the costs and risks.
@@Kickstart500 I'd rather have a fun childhood that a boring one just to preserve my body in old age
Wait til you drive a UTV with real power. 🤯
I drove a Gator once..
Never force the gear lever like that 🤦♂️
1:49 a hot girl who rides not only dirt bikes but a 2 stroke 300 😫😫😫😫😫😫😫omg wifey
I don't mean to offend you but seems like arctic cats compete with polaris except theyre better. But they arent as good as Suzuki, Kawasaki, Honda, or Yamaha. In my opinion. The only evidence I can use to support that is the way it looks, reliability wise, and experience lol
Can we see some big red videos when your leg heals again lol
Big Red is long gone my friend! All of these machines have there own set of issues, Arctic Cat just offers a lot for the money.
@@AdventureDaily haha OK. I just thought u got rid of your dirtbikes lol. Yes I'll admit all of the brands I've listed have problems like how Suzuki and Kawasaki have a lot of cauberator problems.
@@AdventureDaily and you should get a 350x three wheeler. They only made em in 85 and 86
That guy in front of you was slow
There is no way in hell I would spend all that time and money spraying the machine to keep mud off. Ridiculous!
It’s called taking care of it man a clean bikes a fast bike which carries over. Take care of your stuff and itll last.
To each is own man!
I never clean my stuff! I need that dirt as wind drag to slow me down.
First things first. It's an Arctic Cat. Not a good purchase.
Cvt automatic gearboxes r shit dont u americans understand that
Artic cat are junk buy a honda
