just got the sled and started it up and found that there is alot of vibration in the handlebars,personally way too much.When you hold the bars at idle 1800rpm your arms are shaking pretty good.....Is this really that normal for that sled?When it is idling everything is vibrating and making noise.Is there a way to correct.
My m7 i had you started never shaked a bit.

Does anyone live in Fort Saskatchewan,i would love to see there's...Thanks

My 09 m8le is the same. if you wiggle the handle bars you will notice a bit of slop in there(front to back).Made me nervous at first but there is a round bushing like thing down the steering column that holds it there so there is no way of it coming apart.I think that is just an arctic cat thing.

Mine doesnt spend a whole lot of time idling so I wouldnt know. The rattle off the pull rope had me scared for a bit when I first got her. Could not figure out what the noise was till I looked down.
