Here's some stuff we learned about the new Arctic Cat "F"'s.

F6
MPH: 85-105
RPM: 8000
Fuel: (no premium) 87 Octane only

F8
MPH: 90-110
RPM: 7900
Fuel: (no premium) 87 Octane only

F10
MPH: 95-115
RPM: 7350
Fuel: (no premium) 87 Octane only

Frame front arm straps (up � inch up)
Dully runner to single (1 to 2 mph w/arm strap up �")
Rear coupler blocks in lowest position (improves traction)
Low windshield 2-3 mph faster than mid and 5-6 mph faster than tall
Additional Idler wheels in frame 2-5 mph (based on snow conditions) saves on hifax
96 studs (minimum) is recommended to stop track spinning at low, mid and top speeds in marginal traction conditions (huge difference in acceleration)
2 gram heavier drive clutch weights may improve speed in a straight hard flat drag condition, but will generally pull down bad in deeper snow

ECU update eliminates 5500 rpm lean spot also improves backfiring & exhaust flame up.

Misc. related Specs

Do you cat guys have to do all this shizz just to ride your sleds???
Gear lube??? WTF...not topped off at the factory by those TRF resin heads????
Confirm exhaust valve cable length???
Is this what you cat guys call basic maintenance???

ECU problems....5,500 lean spot??? (isn't that where the trouble was with the 03 firecat), and there is still problems???

Free from my local yami dealer....SKUNK...you wouldn't be bothered at all if some that above stuff wasn't done??? low on chain lube from the factory??? how many of you pulled your dipstick to check your chain lube before you rode your new sled???...and how would you feel when that chain let loose out in the "real world" (on a new sled mind you)???

by **NorthernSkunk** » February 23rd, 2007, 3:43 pm

real world sledders maintain their own rides...info from the factory helps tremendously...FREE computer updates are a good thing....

and never mind your Yam dealer MM...its not like you shop there .........what does your Ski-Doo from Canada cost you for updates

by **MM700** » February 23rd, 2007, 3:49 pm

nada...and yes I still shop at my yami dealer..I may not currently own a yami...but my relatives still do, AND he sells the carbides, and other gear I like.

LOL at MM, what a lame attempt at a trash. Most sledders know how to maintain there sleds, its pretty sad your dealer has to top off your oil and change your spark plugs.

MM700, A cat won the 1900+ mile Iron Dog in Alaska...and where did Yamaha finish in that race?...Oh thats right they didn't...they DNF'd

F10
MPH: 95-115
RPM: 7350
Fuel: (no premium) 87 Octane only

your puttin' this up as a trash, MM? Is there a Yamaha that can run 115 at 7350 on 87 octane? Thats impressive.
