Bore X Stroke: Specifics vary by exact engine size (e.g., 92mm x 75.9mm for a common 499cc V-twin). Compression Ratio: Typically around 9.4:1 to 10.0:1 for this engine family. Valve Train: SOHC, 4 valves per cylinder Performance Horsepower: Approx. 25-30 HP (highly dependent on specific engine variant) Torque: Approx. 27-30 lb-ft (highly dependent on specific engine variant) Fuel System Fuel Delivery: Carburetor (e.g., Mikuni BSR 36/38) or Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) depending on specific sub-model. Fuel Type: Unleaded Gasoline (Octane rating typically 87) Fuel Capacity: Typically 3.5 - 5.0 gallons (13 - 19 liters) 🔧 Transmission Standard Type: Automatic (CVT - Continuously Variable Transmission) with engine braking. Optional Type: Manual transmission variants are mentioned as being covered by the manual ('auto/manual'). This likely refers to specific models within the 250/300 range or earlier variants that might be covered by this broad manual. Features Drive Modes: 2WD/4WD selectable, often with a locking front differential. Gear Reduction: High and Low range gears, Neutral, Reverse. Fluid Specifications Transmission Fluid: Arctic Cat recommends specific CVT fluid or equivalent, often a synthetic oil meeting certain viscosity and friction modification properties. Manual transmission fluid specifications would differ and need to be verified in the manual. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Length: Approx. 76-82 inches (193-208 cm) depending on model. Width:...
