I just purchased the new 2016 M8 Limited 153 Cat this year and having some problems.
Seems to run great most of the day then all of a sudden just shuts down, just like hitting the kill switch.
Leave it till next day then fires right up.
Took it back to Ralph's, they were told to change out the injectors by Arctic Cat.
Took it out this past weekend rode for about 2hrs then shut down again.
Left it overnight and the next day again it fired right up.
Drove it out about a half hour, got back to the parking lot shut it down. Went to load it and again would not start.
Taking it back today.

Anyone else having any issues like this? Your feed back is appreciated.

Sounds like a stator issue or fuel pump to me - do you have spark when it dies?

Have a read through this thread, this guy seemed to have the same problem and it ended up being the wiring harness was pinched.

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner it was the main wiring harness snap tied too tight at the factory breaking the wires inside. Apparently it has happened more than once

Check also the prongs that go into ecu had a couple that the wire was cracked just before the metal prong that goes into the plug that goes into ecu

Pretty simple how it happens: Using a ty-wrap on light duty wiring.
