Does anyone know if the viper uses the same gas cap as the other Arctic Cat pro cross sleds or does it use the Yamaha one? I was looking at getting a billet cap from Tricked Toyz and wanted to make sure it was the same as the AC's

Thanks in adv'.
 
Thank You. I'm guessing it's the same as the other AC's also. I'll see what Tricked Toyz says tomorrow.
 
Yamaha makes one as well.
Yes, but I read that people were having problems with the Yamaha one stripping the threads on the tank. http://www.ty4stroke.com/threads/billet-fuel-cap.130603/ supposedly Tricked Toyz made a custom die and claim their caps don't have that problem. A buddy of mine talked to them today and will be ordering them up for a few of us. I know someone that has one on his 9000 and has not had any problems with it in 3 years. I just wish they offered some better patterns. I'm going with this one.

For whatever reason an aluminum cap on a plastic neck can cause issues. If you partially cross thread the aluminum cap it at all it will give grief. I have a cap for my Honda generator that ate the crap out of the threads.
