2001 Arctic Cat 500 4X4 AUTOMATIC ATVs

I got mine about four months ago and so far I’ve only ridden it about one and a half months. This is due to the fact that I’ve been driving it through RIDICULOUS amounts of mud, and finally, killed the pickup coil, while having no oil in it. Also, I had the wrong battery in it, causing it to short out and kill the CDI module.
So, I got a new module, which cost me 200 dollars, and just ordered the pickup coil.
What can I say about the machine? I love it! I was riding with other guys and they had Grizzly 660s, Suzuki 700s, Honda 450s and Honda 300/350s and was able to keep up no problem with the big boys. Honestly, my machine would go through anything. And compared to their machines, was built a lot better too. I had problems because I’m an idiot and didn’t take care of my machine, but their ATVs were NEWER and better taken care of, and they broke a lot more often than mine did.
If I would have taken care of my machine, I would probably still be riding, problem free.
My only complaint is that I don’t have as much ground clearance as I would like to have but a pair of Mudlites would fix that.
The handling is great, and I NEVER feel like I'm going to tip. I rode on a different ‘04 600 twin and it was HORRIBLE compared to my Cat.
Also, the Cats are built very well. Solid steel racks, and when I was looking at a 2009 of another brand, I couldn’t believe that the racks were only rated at 100 pounds. My Cat is rated at 91 kilos!
