another cool thing i forgot to ad, is that the speedometer can be swtiched over to a tachometer with a push of a button, an then the speed will be read digitally on the little screen.. kinda cool

That's cool. Last time I was up at the track in Albuquerque there were guys running snow mobiles in the quarter. They were running 12's.

if you dont have the balls to go 125, then sell it. Belive me once you get on it you will have no fear and 110+mph will come in no time.

We sold are f5 and f6 last winter to get to brand new f7s. 140hp..wow...
I dont know if you ever rode an f6 before..but you will fall in love instantly.

Sweet, Arctic Cat's are good.

As I live in Canada, I know all too well about the sport of snowmobiling.

Nice... I will eventually upgrade my sled (I currently have a '90 Yamaha Phazer 480), but for right now, my car, ATV, and truck are taking up too much of my money lol.. plus we only get like two good snows a year lately (northern IL).

I love the Arctic Cat sleds because of the lime green... close to the same color as my Kawi ATV.

thats sweet, id really like to get a new sled as well. I currently have a Polaris Indy 500 from like 01 i believe. ITs fun cause its a light sled, but its not as fast as i would like to be, going to like 110MPH is pushing it.

very nice sled no doubt

i own an 03 F5, you will absolutely love it

first thing to do is invest in a clutch kit from ODS (outdoor shop) or a similar company

it made a huge difference in the way mine excellerates.

i dont mean to be an @!#$ but i highly doubt you will be doing 125 MPH on the F6

if it is a standard you will be very lucky to be going 108-110 on a loooong stretch

if it is a sno pro you should be happy if you break 100 - 102

is it a diamond drive?
