2000 Arctic Cat ZRT 800 Service Repair Workshop Manual PDF VEHICLE/EQUIPMENT INTRODUCTION: The 2000 Arctic Cat ZRT 800 is a high-performance trail snowmobile that represents Arctic Cat's commitment to combining aggressive handling with reliable mountain performance. Built on Arctic Cat's proven ZRT platform, this sled was engineered for riders who demand spirited trail performance, responsive suspension, and a lightweight chassis that carves through corners. The ZRT (Zipper, Race, Track) 800 is powered by a 797cc two-stroke engine that delivers strong acceleration and sustained power output in cold conditions. Arctic Cat was already a well-established name in powersports when they launched the ZRT 800, building on decades of snowmobile engineering expertise from their facility in Thief River Falls, Minnesota. The ZRT 800 featured independent rear suspension, hydraulic shock absorbers, and a sport-tuned chassis geometry that made it one of the most fun-to-ride trail sleds of its generation.
