Arctic cat 7000 reverse gear recall

[Yamacat21]

Just spoke to an AC 7000 owner and he said cat called him about a reverse gear/ chain case recall. Anyone else heard this

I as well did hear this. I will be checking with my dealer in the morning.

It's so typical.

TRF taking care of Cats first. It's my understanding the whole waiting period for our Vipers, parts, accessories, etc was because of the pecking order at TRF. True or not, it's frustrating.

1st: Cat USA
2nd: Cat Canada
3rd: Yamaha USA
4th: Yamaha Canada

I've never had mine jump out of gear........just lose all the oil.

It's not like that. The sled is made in TRF and all the engineering is also done at the plant. Yamaha is in eastern Wi. AC can send parts out to all ac dealers from the plant but they can't do the same for Yamaha. Yamaha has to do that. Parts are sent to yamaha in Wi for them to send to their dealers, so it takes a lil more time.

That's not accurate. How is it that you can get a Cat windshield but the Yamaha one is on back order. Same with the windshield bag. The list goes on and on. At least in Canada, we're getting our stuff last.

have no idea on the windshields but I would imagine its because of the manufacture that is contracted to make them. Some 7000 ones fit the viper right?

Was at the dealership today and they told me they are just waiting to hear out of yamaha with an official bulletin, but there is going to be a recall on the viper reverse gear.

Called my dealer, they say the kit will arrive in March. Not a big deal for me as ours has not had the out of gear thing yet.
