I ran a braided hose from the low pressure oil light switch that's under the engine on the passenger side close to the firewall, to a low oil pressure Murphy switch. I used the fused ignition (IGN 10A. Brn/black wire to the ECU) in series with the Murphy switch and had a momentary switch to bypass it to be able to start it. I tried the fuel pump but the engine would run for almost 3-4 mins before it stalled from lack of fuel pressure. So I chose the IGN fuse for an instant kill. www.wildcatforums.net/attachments/img_20150417_092215_658-jpg.31962/

@@artman265 thanks for the help.

Hey, what would you like to know?

@@artman265 why a half vs a full windshield, upper left corner drivers side what is that gauge?

When I bought the machine the low profile windshield was the only thing available as the full assortment of add-ons had not been released yet. And the gauges you can see are oil pressure in blue that you see by the steering wheel and I made my own CVT belt housing temp gauge that's in red in the upper corner of the roof.

@@artman265 Do you have any more videos of install or photos that you would be able to share for possible Ideas?

Ya, but that’s kinda the point!

Thanks and thanks for watching.

Thank you for watching the vid and I'm glad you liked all my work, I'm sure I can do better the next go around with some of these mods but a lot were first drafts for what I thought would work. The doors are OEM from Arctic Cat. And I would suggest to put in limit straps at the bottom to save the hinges from taking all the weight when the door drops open. Cheers

Thanks for watching, I love the machine as does my wife. we have had a busy year here and havent been able to get out on it as much as we would like. Hopefully we can make some more vids over the winter from some files I still have sitting in waiting. Cheers!

@@artman265 i subscribed, be looking forward to those future videos

Thanks for watching, I love the machine and one of the reasons I bought it was because of the locking diff.

@@artman265 - Ya Man, your machine is very close in color to mine. Hope it's ok to post a video link here for you to check out. This was made by my Son and Myself. Check it out and see what you think. I am just noticing a limited amount of content on these machines and want to get the word out! ua-cam.com/video/-HOaE2U2FFM/v-deo.html

I agree with you 100%. I have a Wildcat Sport and I absolutely love it! It is an absolute beast on the trails. This was a very good video to showcase the trail/sport diff lock capabilities. 👍

B T P same! My trail is getting an upgrade to SuperATV sport arms and bandit 46 sport shocks here shortly, Can’t wait to go from 55 inches atm to 60 with more travel

@@MiK3Y13 I have a 2017 trail limited, The one thing i don't like is ground clearance. I notice you have big tires. Whats Involved when increasing tire size?

It was going to be an attempt at making a "stop" so you cant shift straight into reverse and had to slide the shifter to the side and around to get to park, but I never finished it.

I still have it and it has held up pretty good considering what I put it through. My biggest complaint so far would still be the piss poor bushings they put in the control arms and knuckles Just Garbage. I upgraded to the AJ's bushings and havent had a problem since. Cheers and thanks.

We are riding about 2 hours drive North West of Calgary Alberta Canada. I love the area there is always something different and depending on the weather the trails are always changing. Thanks for watching.

Ya I love driving it, just wish I had more time to drive it. Thanks for watching. Cheers

but...the bushing are just painfully bad....second time i change most of the bushing on 2500 miles....

We have lots a problems with our two 700s. mostly electrical.

Green Hornet do you still have your quad in picture also? I’m thinking about getting a used 2014 trail for a good price

They are Arctic cat mirrors, too small for me I got rid of them and put on the Seizmik mirrors now and like them better.

I think I started with some speaker pods for a Tundra ( www.scosche.com/satt634 ) trimmed them and then added some PCV pipe to extend them to the depth that would allow the speaker magnets clearance too the roof. I RTV'd them and screwed them together and then RTV'd and screwed them to the roof from the top of the roof down through into the PCV pod and ran my wires. Cheers and good luck, Art.

Thanks, and I built the rack myself. Not much on the market for what I wanted so some pipe and time on the welder and I had what I wanted.

Actually they are "El Cheapo" mechanics gloves from Princess Auto (Harbor Freight) dont keep dry but are just nice to wear, I bring a couple pairs just to have a dry set. Cheers.

Artman26 no the guy at the end of video

I put AJs fender flairs on and I have added some rubber extensions to those, these monster mayhems throw a lot of mud lol. If you have the room and are not restricted to the 50" wide try putting the sport fenders on then the AJs flairs. Cheers and thanks for watching. ajswildcataccessories.com/wildcat/ Halfway down the page there is the wildcat trail stuff.

Artman26 thanks I will check them out. I am in Utah so we have about 600 miles of trails that have gates set to just over 50 inches so I need to be careful about how wide I end up. Thanks again and talk care. Dave

They are ITP SS212 with the 4+2 offset if I remember correctly.

Thanks Artman26... I'm just trying to get a little more width on my trail. The lift kit definitely made it a bit more narrow.

I have also added a 2" wheel spacer to the rear wheels and an 1 1/2" spacer to the front to give it a bit more stability since I lifted mine. Cheers and thanks for watching.

I love it, just wish I had more time to ride it.

Artman26 I just grabbed a 14x ....seems epic . going to get the starter update tho .

Where did u get those mirrors. Have a trail and like where u put them

They are the Arctic cat mirrors and I mounted them in the instructed location. I didnt really like them too much they are too small to see anything in them for where I ride, but they look cool.

Sorry I didnt see your post until now. But these are the Tires I am running now I had the 28" version at the time of this video. atvtirescanada.com/itp-monster-mayhem-tire.html

Ya near there, we always go riding out that way. Do you ride out there? Always looking for more people to ride with.

Not atm, hopefully in the near future, would be nice, did a little with the next door neighbor at McLean creek with his Ranger, was great.

Lol ya, she has gotten a lot better after a few seasons of this terrain. As for the engine braking it did get noticeably better with the clutch kit for the bigger tires but you still have to keep the belt engaged because there is no 1 way bearing in the primary and the secondary helix is only cut one way so it will not drive the primary. I always drive in low 2WD and use 4WD when I need it and for the most part the engine braking it holds pretty good but it does take some practice to get over having to ride the throttle a bit to keep the clutch engaged and you do have feather the brakes as needed.

Hi John, I put on the only clutch kit for my tire size that was available at the time I bought the machine, was the EPI Mudder kit for 28"-29.5" tires and got a different color spring for the secondary so It would perform better at our altitude and the type of driving I do. I am running 30" Monster Mayhems 30x9x14f and 30x11x14r on Itp rims with a 4x3 offset (I think). I do believe there is a Dalton clutch kit that would be much better and you can adjust the weights in the primary to suit how and where you ride. I also put inline to my CVT snorkle a marine bilge fan to help keep the belt cool when its working hard in the deep mud turning the bigger knobby tires. I would like to get a different primary secondary to help get my wheel speed up faster but also be "geared" lower because the riding we do in the tight trails and mud I really don't think I need to be doing 40 Mph in low, a bit slower would be nice I think, but that stuff is slow coming. Cheers and thanks for watching.

I like it a lot. just wish I had more time to drive it. Thanks for watching.

I ran for 2 seasons without the programmer and it ran great, like I said I used premium fuel all the time on the machine. I got the PC V this spring and it really peps the machine up, still have the pipes wrapped too. Make sure the plugs boots are on properly as well (Ive heard that if they pop up a bit they cause a misfire and heat the pipe up too) . I havent had any heat issues yet....knock on wood. Cheers!

Artman26 ok, thanks for the reply. at least I know it's not a must have right off the bat. I also run premium so should be no worries then.

Just West of Sundre Alberta, do you ride OHV? And thanks for watching.

That's Awesome, I wanted a big cat too but decided to get the Trail because of how tight most of the area we ride in is. I hope you get some time to ride in it before winter sets in. Or get Plug in seat heaters, grip heaters for the wife and tire chains like I did and enjoy the winter.

lookin at your vids i think the trail s better for your kinda drivin yes !...we got some skioveralls thats fine ;-) and the full WS works good also.. tire chains !? omg- dont freak me out...:- () haha

This rally was at McLeans Creek and sponsored by the Calgary ATV riders. Its usually on May long weekend. Their webpage usually has their calendar for the season. The other one we go to is Sundre Fire Dept Rally usually the Sunday of the August long weekend West of Sundre. Both are side by side friendly as far as I know. We usually go to the Sundre Poker Rally.

@truckmanonfire How would I get in touch with you guys on some information

@@rickpeters3291 what kind of information you looking for?

@@truckmanonfire Wanting to find out more about artman26 build with his cat. I just bought one this past weekend and not im looking at mods

www.wildcatforums.net/forum/attachments/wildcat-trail-trail-xt/34887-offical-wildcat-trail-picture-thread-10350334_10205740561667646_3703582581260083282_n.jpg I think this guy races his machine from Louisiana in a 1000CC class with this set up.

That thing looks serious!

I know hey. Have you looked into the wildcat forum www.wildcatforums.net/ Lots of great info there. Im apart of that community.

+Artman26 yes I have done a lot of reading on there but it's a lot of searching to find the info I'm looking for..

www.rubberdowncustoms.ca/images/rad_relocate_02.jpg

I have made some scoops for the rad. The push bar blocks a bunch of the air flow that's the main reason I moved the oil cooler, the mud builds up between the oil cooler and the rad and with the mud/silt staying in the rad in the spots I couldn't reach with the washer the rad was only getting 50% air flow. so make sure to check between your rad and oil cooler for additional blockage. I carry an old Ford F150 windshield washer tank with a sprayer wand and a cigarette power connector ( Modified myself) to rinse off the rad in the dry hill climbs after I have gone through some deep mud, to make sure the rad is clear and I haven't really had to use it since I moved the oil cooler. Thanks for watching and hope this helps.

Also does your fan cycle correctly,( look into a breaker for your fan fuse if you are going through a lot of deep water). You might want to check if you might have an air bubble at the thermostat if it doesn't. If you run at the top of your heat range you might have a blockage of air at your rad or an air bubble(at the thermostat) if it hasn't been bled properly. We do run at around 30 Deg C/ 90F ambient temp max so that might make a difference.

It's a fairly new machine (maybe 5 payments made) and I know I hear the fan cycling on and off as the machine heats/cools. I carry a super soaker and last weekend in about 70*F temps I went through almost 2 cases of water trying to get it to stop over heating... Ended up having to be towed almost 30 miles back to camp through rough trails..

Overheating seems to be a fairly common issue from the other wildcat trail/sport guys I've met. Last weekend it was super dry and I went through minimal mud holes (which where more water than soup) and I just can't believe that the design is that terrible.

The worst I have had it here was it reaching 210F and going into limp mode but that was pretty extreme for here, rad was plugged off and climbing hills. I'm going to guess your machine is having an air pocket in the system if it is overheating at that temp. But I have heard they run hot to start with. Have you looked into the air vent mod for the spark plug access the guys in the sand dune use. Rad problems seem to be a challenge for all machines, which is why the mud guys run a rad up out of the water level.

Ya I love their music, and my Uncle had the privilege of playing with them when they stopped into a venue he was playing at and he got them to join him on stage. He said they were awesome guys. UA-cam copyright tracker actually catches my music I'm listening to on my stereo while driving and sometime I have to put music in over the Video to get around it or I have to mute the sound. Glad this one came through. Thanks for watching.

The water was very stagnant and skunky. Was a great ride though. Thanks for watching.

Hi, thanks for watching. I got one of the first years of the Trail ( #43 off the assembly line) there was no power steering available when I got mine. Considering I am running 30 inch monster mayhem tires and it still turns pretty good without power steering. With stock tires it turns with 1 finger its quite light on the steering. The Clutching I have for the larger tires does help for down hill engine braking but you do have to keep on the throttle to keep the belt engaged, so that takes some getting used too. I have had it steep enough going downhill that the tip sensor shut off the engine....the brakes hold really well. Cheers.
