Dads LTX has a very very slow leak somewhere on the chain case. Just a couple drops a day but still shouldn't have this on a new sled. Anyone else seen the same thing? Just tighten the bolts or let the dealer worry about it?

If it's not to hard to get to your dealer I would for sure bring it back to them! And make sure they fix it while your there!

Only three miles on it. We thought maybe they spilled some so cleaned everything up we could but now there is oil on the floor again.fxnytroxtx said:

Cats are know for coming with loose or missing parts of the assembly line

I'd look at each bolt holding the oil tank on and make sure it isn't broken at any of the bolts

Check your sleds from stem to stern! I can't stress this enough. These are Arctic Cats and Yamaha dealers are not used to this. My brother is a licenced mechanic and certified BRP tech. He bought a 14 Proclimb and went over it from front to back. He only found a few bolts not tightened and some broken stuff from crate damage. Mine was the same. These are not Yamahas. If you have the ability check everything you can. They are great riding sleds but some of them look like they're assembled by teenage girls. I am currently in a love/hate relationship with mine. All the sh!t that went wrong with mine (including a blown motor) was due to poor assembly. I don't want to come off like a negative Neddy, I just want everyone to be safe and enjoy their new machines.

Pulled the can out and found oil on top of the case and a loose hose clamp at the bottom of the case. We will keep an eye on it but it goes back to what suckur said, check them over good. The gasket didn't tear so we will see if it reseales. Also WARNING!!! The gasket has a metal sheet in it that is very sharp, RAZOR SHARP! Be carefull taking off your exhaust.
They really need to hire a new manager to kick some #*$&@ in the qc department
