Can i add a pole to this question? I think the stock head gaskets were bad on a run of these xtz and that was the cause. But just to find out who did or didnt over heat would be interesting.

Yep, I think a poll would be a great idea! Go for it!!

 

[GlamisProwler]

Ok guys let hear it, The votes are public if anyone cares!

Mines fine so far with 600km on it. I dont run it wide open very much though.

 

[amprice4]

Mine has been good so far but I dont even have 100 miles on it yet so Im hoping for the best!

 

[prowlerbob]

i have only 150 miles on mine ,but they are hard, and no problems yet.Have it at unisteer now for power steering and upgraded rack, rackzilla, as they call it.

Hmmmm.....you know, since this seems to be a common issue, maybe we could compile some data here and establish if this is limited to a certain VIN number range. What do you guys think???

sounds like a great idea... I'd be interested to see if my vin is close to the ones that have overheated

[sandchris]

The title or registration?Or under the bed on the tube steel that runs horizontal under the bed where the hinge is on the back right side.
I know you guys know this but do not post your vin numbers.

1700 miles on a job in Nevada desert and no overheating.

 

[GlamisProwler]

I think mine overheated before the first 100 miles, as of the last couple of rides it's all fixed for now.

[cnj]

Instead of a VIN, is there a "build date" anywhere?

 

[PROWLER 21]

Mine overheated within 200 miles, I bought 1 the first year. Arctic Cat stood behind it Put a new head gasket, ARP head bolts, & 2000 miles later still going STRONG.

 

[ametric]

Strong coolant smell on hot days , build date 12-23-08. I've got about 240 miles on it and top off coolant once.

 

[sandchris]

Please don't post your vin numbers.
