My buddy is looking at buying a used Arctic Cat ATV and asked if I knew of any common problems with them or things to look for before purchasing. I told him I would consult the expertise of the OB.

Arctic shat. My wife's uncle has one, and every time he rides it's in the shop. No mud ridding, just around the lease. It's a piece of shite. I have love for the rzr and ranger, but that's as far as I go with Polaris. Get a Honda.

My brother and I both have '06 Arctic Cats. The ONLY issue we have had with them are the shock mount bushings. Back then they made them 1 piece and they wore out. The replacements are 2 piece and seem to be much better. They were expensive though. Other than that, they have been more than quality machines. We have not had the first mechanical problem with either of them.

Knock on wood.

Ive road in some pretty bad mud rides and Arctic Cat seemed to do pretty good. I have seen more polaris' broke down than all other 4 wheelers in the ride combined

Every arctic cat I have ever seen has been an absolute turd.
