05 m7 efi 153"

[DesertSportsman]

Guys, newbie here with a question. I have the opportunity to purchase from a friend a 2005 ARTIC CAT M7 EFI W/153" TRACK, with only 900 miles on it. It is in brand new looking condition as his wife was very easy on the sled. Questions I had are does this sled perform very well? Is there anything to look out for with this year/sled? I appreciate your input and answers.

Thx
Ken

Fu@$%kin grab it and run or Ill fone him up and Ull lose the sale!! Good price . Youll have to do a few small things to get a lil more performance outta it but very cheap. Some venting, aftermarket secondary kit, lightweight can, HRP bracket for rear suspension. What was yer buddies #?

LOL! Yeah, let me get you that number... What kind of venting does it need? To the airbox? He said the only two "mods" he had done is 8" wheels and a lite performance can... I have read about the HRP bracket. So how does this sled perform? Last sled I owned was a ?yr? John Deer Sport Fire 440, haha... It seemed pretty quick in the day.... By the way, I am 6'3" and about 215lbs....

thats a steal In my opinion one of the best sleds ever made

Put the hrp brackets on the rails and go ride. That sled will run with any of them and if your last sled was a JD440, it's going to take you places you would never have believed possible. The sled runs best stock with a can, just like it is.

you might check on the track, if it is a challenger or an A20. some debate on this but in a nutshell the challenger was a better all around track the the A20 more just for pow. I like the A20 in hill climb straitend and lightly ported. you love this sled!

good price grab it.A few small things to check out when you get it but nothing major.

 

[Frostbite]

That sounds like a good buy to me!

I'm not sure how much you want to spend for changes to the sled but, right after the HRP rail mounts for the rear skid ($100), I'd put a 153" Power Claw on that sled and never look back.

Depending on what track it has, for a challenger you should get $220+ for it. Rexburg Motorsports has 153" Power Claws for $520. So, the new and absolutely amazing track could cost you less than $300.

Good Luck and keep us posted!
