Imagine those cylinder walls on the first crank at 30 below....I remember using a tampon in my fuel tank just to absorb any water or condensation in the fuel tank.

AC has some cool colors with the 7000, would be super tempting if it came with Yamaha clutching.

newbs and primers = flooded.LOL
Arctic Cat procross is the outdated YAMAHA SR VIPER
Wonder how long it takes before some after market company will have a retrofitted Yamaha primary and secondary clutch offered for Cat owners with a M7000 or other with the nytro powerplant 
Probably not very long.

I would really like to see the M7000 and the Viper go at it head to head in all types of riding condition...There could even be a stock challenge and mod challenge.....May the best sled win.

No retrofitting required for the Yamaha primary. It bolts right on.
Now if only the plastics fit.....
I believe the only part required for the secondary clutch, would be a Viper jack shaft and related shims/spacers/bolt.
The 7000 series sleds use the same jack shaft mounting/chain case set up as a Viper. Instead of the TCL system found on Arctic Cat 6000, 8000 and 9000 sleds.
I'm sure alot of Arctic Cat owners would feel better having the Yamaha clutches and secondaries on there 7000 series and maybe other models.
We will be offering a conversion kit. I don't think it will be hugely popular because of the price of the Yamaha primary clutch. You would be far better off to buy the Viper and save a couple thousand dollars, but there will be some market for it. We will have a bunch of Viper products up on the website about Sept 15th.

I think the clutching issue between The Viper vs M7000 is slightly over inflated although i will give Yammi a very slight CVT edge.....Heck if you know how to tune you can take a coconut shell crack it in half and put them back to back mount it on the PTO and your good to go. 
Let the games begin

A coconut shell might be an improvement over the cat clutch. 5-700 mile throw away junk when I was riding them and my bud got 5 warrantied in 2000 miles.
