thats an heavy m1000 as well... an 08 or older standard non sno pro. 
BTW that setup with all the chains and straps seriously looks like a monkey tryin to f*** a football.

Looks like a 08 or 09?
True. You are or work at a Cat dealer correct? If so do your new Arctic Cat's have ANY fuel in them when they are uncrated?

Madmax is the owner of the Edge Powersports in Draper Utah. I have worked at 3 different cat dealers over the last 8 years including the Edge. I have never seen a cat sled including the 2012 proclimb crated with any fuel. As Madmax said you cant see the bottom of the tank of the proclimb but THEY WILL NOT START IF YOU DO NOT PUT FUEL IN THEM. An M series sled is dry as the Sahara.
I never stated the dipstick was accurate only that it was almost empty and had 1/2 inch wet on the end and nothing more than best guess.you need to read post again.perhaps they intend to suck out any fuel after the test run at factory, have no idea however it clearly was run and the clutch had belt marks.The video also shows the method which every sled is test run before shipping.

PM your e mail I will send you pics.But that means nothing since I can with a touch of a button make it read any weight I desire, That was the whole NO B.S. reason for this post . All owners were included in the weighing

Like that makes a difference, this M1000 also has his ready to ride tools, and a fuel pressure regular in the sled.Maybe 2 extra lbs. Its all the pics I could find. Every year we have a weigh in. Can't weigh in unless it is full of fuel and oil and just like you are going for a ride. Yes there is the odd ski change or beer holder but the pics are true trail weights. The xp is an 08, stock with a can. This year we have a pro climb and and an e-tech to weigh. Trail weight only, nothing else matters.

With my strength, I need that. Othertwise I would flip it on it's hood.LMAO
Seriously, I have an E=tech and a M800, and keep going back to that 08. It is more stable for me. I am 6'4",220 lbs, just feels better. Maybe the proclimb will be better?

Im with u on that MBMS. I shipped a dirtbike and got told to emprty the fuel tank as it as a hazard and a liability issue. I cant see AC sending a unit with fuel in it that might have been in there a few mths either
H
Ummm, ok, I guess that would be considered a totally unbiased, honest report. I have a new Pro and would really like to try out a PC. Until then, I'll take posts like yours with a grain of salt. LMFAO !!!!
Sent from my iPhone when I should be sledding.

Sounds to me the factory runs the motor off separate fuel cell and then installs tank,Makes sense, Both of these crated sleds came from the dealer in the northwest and shipped to Cali. they must have added a splash of fuel and tested them then re-installed the crate top and ship,They both came with aprox 1/2 inch of fuel. Bars were folded and skis not installed.The point of the original post was to observe the fluids and although there's no exact measurement there was a tad in the tank on both the Cat and Poo.As far as a credible post I reported what was observed by many There are no games here.no hidden agenda

That's the '07 graphics on that one. Not that it really matters.............:face-icon-small-con
Sleds from the factory are NOT shipped with fuel in the fuel tanks! I have toured the factory many times and yes they run them for a brief few seconds but NOT off the sleds fuel tank. They use a factory fuel tank and exhaust tube in the crate up area. The fuel tank remains dry until the sled gets to the dealer for set-up. Its against shipping regulations to ship with any fuel on board.
