  • My 2014 Arctic Cat 500
    By Grant Jones (I am an Owner) on Oct 24, 2019

    I bought my machine new. Dressed it up with the chrome wheels. I also had the brush guard, rear metal basket, and plastic front basket installed. I like the speed rack system. My only problem has been the starter. The end bearing in the starter took out the armature windings. Dealer sold me two jobber ...

  • Good machine
    By Adam (I am an Owner) on Jan 09, 2016

    I have put 1 1/2 years in on my 2014 500. I have about 900 miles of riding on it from tight wooded Minnesota trails to the rough rocky trails of Utah. I haven't had a single issue with it. It is very capable off road, going places our Yamaha struggles to go.

    I have owned Yamaha atvs in the ...

    My only wish is that my machine had eps. My next atv will be another Arctic Cat, but I'll definitely get power steering.

    You can't beat the 500 4x4 for the price!!

  • Nice bike with problems
    By Owen (I am an Owner) on Mar 18, 2015

    I just bought the 2014 arctic cat 500 and right when I took it off the trailer it would not go into 4x4, took it back and they fixed something in the gears. I bring it home and I was riding it around and a bunch of codes popped up, it turned out to be and electrical failure. I'm not saying the ...

    Overall I like the bike!

    By Jason (I am an Owner) on Oct 26, 2014

    I live in western Alaska, and purchased the 500 core to work for me. Have been very happy with it's performance so far. It won't win races against Polaris or can am, but it has towed boats, pulled 1000lb+ logs, taken me moose hunting, taken the wife berry picking across the tundra, and it has done ...

  • Nice Bike, Tons Of Plastic
    By Justin (I am an Owner) on Apr 09, 2014

    I just picked up one of these bikes today. The EFI is very nice; no need to choke to start. My only issue with the fuel system is that it seems surprisingly cold-natured, something you wouldn't expect to find with a fuel-injected engine ESPECIALLY fresh from the manufacturer.

    Throttle ...

    Positives: Good stance, dependable EFI, nice instrumentation (digital fuel gauge, speedometer, odometer, and tach), 4x4 shifting on the fly with a touch of the thumb, vehicle-like hitch receiver for towing, and overall fun to ride.

    Negatives: More plastic than ever before; the optional brushguard and rear bumper are highly suggested to protect it. Older models had fully-metallic sidesteps; this has now been replaced on all models with one strip of metal holding up fully-plastic steps. One of the prongs snapped the first time I got on it after getting it home. Also, strangely cold-natured for a brand new bike with fuel injection.

    Overall I love this bike, but its obvious that Arctic Cat has been cutting corners in the past few years to decrease their manufacturing costs. If you've only previously owned a model around 10 years or older, I would recommend bumping up a size on the newer models to get closer to the same stance.
