Re: 700 xtx engine breaking

I've had my '08 700 xtx for a few months and just love it.  But, it really has a jerking action when doing slow speeds (a couple miles per hour) as in backing up out of parking area, etc.  The dealer says it may be due to the thottle spring being light and that I should try spacers to coil it up more to increase the tension.  The problem is even worse when backing down a grade.  It kind of like hitting the gas, then the engine breaking cuts in and causes the foot to hit the throttle lightly and creates forward motion, etc., etc.  Just a nuisance, but does anybody have the same problem or is it the nature of the beast.  Once you get moving, no problem.  Any thought from the mechanics out there.  Can it be adjusted out?

Re: 700 xtx engine breaking

Just bought mine on Sat and I have the same problem. I thought it was just me not being used to the vehicle. Maybe not, huh??

I'll have look and see if I can find a part number for you, but if you go to your Arctic Cat dealer they should be able to find it for you and no shipping because they can order it with their shop orders.
