Arctic Cat and Yamaha Celebrate Joint Snowmobile Production

First Yamaha SR Vipers Are Off Assembly Line in Thief River Falls, MN

As the very first Yamaha SR Viper units rolled off the assembly line at the Arctic Cat factory in Thief River Falls, MN, employees involved with the snowmobiles gathered to celebrate. The milestone was marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony with executives from both Arctic Cat and Yamaha.

Arctic Cat President and CEO Claude Jordan

Arctic Cat Chairman and CEO, Claude Jordan (above) addressed the crowd stating, “Every employee standing here should be proud of this history-making day. We are very excited how our relationship with Yamaha continues to grow and the successful future that lies ahead for both companies. Jordan closed by saying, “Going forward we believe this relationship will provide tremendous value to Arctic Cat, our customers, our dealers and our shareholders.”

The all-new Arctic Cat 7000-Series snowmobiles are the result of an industry-first in the modern era: Arctic Cat is in a supplier agreement with Yamaha to leverage their respective strengths. For the first time ever Arctic Cat riders can match the renowned Arctic Cat ProCross chassis and handling with high performance Yamaha 4-stroke power. The C-TEC4 1049cc, three-cylinder engine is widely regarded as the most responsive, highest performing 4-stroke in the 135-hp category.

Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA president, Toshizumi Kato stated, “Together we have made a snowmobile which has the best of both our snowmobiles DNA. I look forward to a future of mutual and beneficial growth for both Arctic Cat and Yamaha. Today, let’s celebrate our accomplishment thus far, for tomorrow the opportunities are endless.”

  1. Actual buyers for each brand will be the proof on how this union plays out . At this point you have feel very positive about the future of your favorite brand ! DNA ,DNA,,

  2. I have been a loyal Arctic cat person for many years and am looking forward to there joint venture with Yamaha another well respected company. I can only see positive changes for both!

  3. Just curious as too why they wouldn’t finish Arctic Cat units first , cant be very cost effective switching back and fourth, Anybody have a reason ????

  4. I’m sure with a venture like this there will be many challenges for both companies but in the end they will both benefit from it. As exciting as it is for the companies I think it’s great for the employees of Cat. It reminds me of the stories my dad used to tell of going to the plant back in the 70’s and 80’s when Cat was making sleds for other companies as well. Ultimately we are keeping more Minnesotan’s working and that is a success in and of itself.

    I can only imagine how much is going to be learned from the partnership.

    Go Team Arctic!

  5. I think this one of the best things that has happend to Arctic Cat and will only make them better and also a big benefit to Yamaha as well.When this partnership was first announced alot of Yamaha guy’s where wining about the quality of there snowmobiles going down when we all knew that would not be the case knowing what standards Yamaha is known for.Personally I was very exited about the partnership deal just knowing how Yamaha’s reputation is with there quality and reliability of there products…….it’s a win win for both company’s.

  6. I was pissed off when yamy in their advertising is taking all the credit for their new SRV front suspension!!! They carry on like the procross chassis is their design!!!Big deal we get a new 4 stroke engine!!!I’m pretty sure St.Cloud could build a better all american one!!! And this is coming from a Canadian!!!! I see a japanese takeover soon!!
    Remember yamaha has some very deep pockets$$$$$$!!!

  7. Crowd funding is an intriguing improvement, and it will be intriguing to see where it goes in the potential. Thanks for the exciting post and preserve up the good operate.

  8. hey man, i got a question. how long do the cables typically reach? my computer is in the same room as my xbox and everything and i’m considering buying a dazzle soon, but if the cables don’t reach i guess i can’t. great videos btw, i’m definately subscribing

  9. Stick with the wet food if you can. The dry can cause Urinary infections and crlysats in the urine. (it sucks the moisture from your cats body, which is also why most cats on dry food drink lots of water) Also can cause other health issues and (hairballs) but I won’t go into that whole long schpeel. (I have experience working as a vet assistant and working for a pet nutrition store)Most dry food is cooked and processed so many times that most of your proteins and extra vitamins and minerals are cooked down (leaving very little nutrition )Also, if you look at most dry foods, the first few ingredients are normally corn, rice or some other ingredient that isn’t MEAT. Your cat is a carnivore, it needs meat.STAY AWAY FROM SCIENCE DIET!! ITS ALL CORN NO MEAT! (look on the label if you don’t believe me {starch was the first ingredient on some of the ones I looked at}) (Vets only recommend this stuff because their nutrition class in vet school is (Optional) and only an 8 hr course. And guess who teaches the class????? The Hills company that owns Science Diet .go figure right? Also VARIETY VARIETY VARIETY! That is key to keeping your cat allergy free, try to mix up your protein source as often as possible (even switching brands all together every now and then is a good thing). (Good for wet and dry foods)The more of one protein you push on the animal, the more likely it can develop an allergy to that protein.If you decide against the all wet diet, then look for a dry food that has the first ingredient as a MEAT (NOT A BY PRODUCT OR A MEAL) They always try to throw you off with (Beef Meal) Its not the same! Example of what you want; (Beef, chicken, tuna, salmon) (Don’t feed too much fish though because of all the mercury. Limit to like 1-2 cans of fish a week at most)NOT; (Beef meal, Beef by-product or beef by-product meal)A Meal is just the protein (ex. chicken) that is cooked down so many times that it turns into a liquid, then it is added to the dry and cooked again and again and again, then added in vitamins at the last stage. So how good can that be?And a By product or by-product meal Don’t even get me started. (by-products are parts of the animal {yes clean} but not what you (yourself) would want to eat) (Feathers bones and other gross stuff) why feed that to a cat? Or dog for that matter?This Meal, By-product and by-product meal is Alright as a second or third ingredient in the food, because the cats do get SOME by-products in the wild. As long as it’s not the first ingredient and the first ingredient is a GOOD source of protein, you’ll be good to go.If you are concerned about budget, when I was on a tight budget, my cat lived on canned Friskies. (They come in large cans too) and depending on where you live, they offer that at .99 cent stores (bought for .89 cents a can but you’re limited flavors) and they are very affordable at Wal-Mart and petco.If you go with the dry food, avoid free feeding (They aren’t goats or cattle), this causes obesity and other health issues. Your cat should eat when you put the food down and whatever isn’t gone within 30mins, is food for the next feeding. The better the food, the longer happier and healthier life your kitty will have.As far as litter goes. I get the clumping multiple cat with the fresh scent. (Scoop away or tidy cats) There is also a cheaper good litter by Priority I don’t know if it’s available everywhere, but its very cheap, clumps great, but has a tendency to be a little dusty, so wait a bit after you first dump the litter in the cat box (if its enclosed).Hope this info helps you! http://dcagedjgbmp.com [url=http://bxliqlah.com]bxliqlah[/url] [link=http://vhfbdu.com]vhfbdu[/link]
