These are typically naturally aspirated or turbocharged Rotax-derived engines or Arctic Cat's own Twin-Cylinder 4-stroke engines. Performance Typical Horsepower Range: Ranges vary significantly by engine displacement and configuration (e.g., 3000 series ~60-80 HP, 5000 series ~70-90 HP, 7000 series ~100-130 HP, 9000 series ~180-200+ HP for turbocharged variants). Exact figures depend on specific engine code within each series. Torque Specifications: Specific torque figures for each engine variant are detailed within the manual, crucial for engine component assembly and adjustments. Fuel System Fuel Delivery: Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) is standard across all 4-stroke models. This ensures precise fuel metering for optimal performance and emissions control. Fuel Type: Unleaded gasoline (Octane rating specified in manual, typically 87 or higher). Cooling System Cooling Type: Liquid-cooled Lubrication System Oil Type: Specific Arctic Cat synthetic 4-stroke snowmobile oil or an equivalent meeting API SN classification and SAE viscosity grade (e.g., SAE 0W-40 or SAE 5W-40) as specified for the engine model. Oil Capacity: Varies by engine size, typically 3.5-5.0 quarts. Exact capacity and fill procedure are detailed in the manual. 🔧 Transmission Standard Type: CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) utilizing Arctic Cat's TEAM clutches (Primary and Secondary). Optional Optional Configurations: N/A for this model year and drivetrain; CVT is standard.
