Under the front of the seat with the tools maybe? They're there at my F5 at least.

my 03 dident come with one,....
so i mounted it on the belt guard.
great spot for it too

 

[omrognan]

On the belt guard or the air silencer are places where I'm used to find them, but I simply CAN NOT find them on my recently bought sled. Well, I'll just buy a couple and put them in the toolkit.

Arctic Cat was kinda cheap and didn't mount a spark plug holder on the Firecats.

 

[NumbNuts918]

My stock 05 M6 didnt have them either. I have to find an aftermarket holder.

they were trying to save weight

 

[omrognan]

Save weight?! A plastic holder for two spark plugs would weigh almost anything.

i would guess its more of a money thing,
kinda like the auto manufactures not putting a spair tire in some trucks nowdays.

i think the first year CAT made 16 or 17 thousand F-cats.
if they made that many every year since??,........
they might have saved about $1:00 or $2:00 on each one,..
not including the labor to install each one.

major savings at the end of the production.

 

[holmes14]

not a big deal but i dont know why you guys would stick up for arctic cat for being a cheep ass, i know i would paid the extra 5 bucks for a damn spark plug holder, and a tool kit. So even though it ends up saving them allot of money in the long run, they could also stop puttin a windshield on and save allot of money and you still wouldnt care then or what?! ...

with the weight reduction they had that chassis built around, there were few viable logistical locations for a plug holder, the clutch cover in most cases following a severe belt explosion is so twisted that it breaks and chunks the plastic holder pieces everywhere, not to mention what happens when a plug meets primary at high r's

O.K. Mr 18 post, you seem to have all tha answers, maybe you need to go apply for a position at cat

Bold: what, can't find it? And who in the hell is sticking up for them?, i'm sure as hell not, Mark and I were just pointing out a couple things that may slide right by sometimes, sheesh!

thay do have a tool kit,.....comes standard with all of them.
please do your home work before you post .

 

[Indytriple]

In your pocket lol, or run the EIX plugs, likely you will never need a spare plug.

 

[Firecat500]

I just keep my extra plugs in my coat or in the back storage area. But putting the holder on the clutch guard wouldnt be a bad idea either.

Really , some of you guys will complain about anything. What's so difficult about putting them in the back storage area??????

 

[ELTIGRE]

I keep them in my pocket as well..... tool kit and back storage get damp and the box disintegrates.....

 

[Chuck_MN]

I placed my spark plugs inside the spare belt. Just squeeze them in, but you may need to adjust the belt a little to get them in, but it works.

No fuel shut off valves in the F Cats either. I still don't understand that....

 

[firecatF5]

Yeah, I had to install a few things. Spark plug holder. Fuel shut off valve but had they come with these items others would always find something to complain about.......lol

you dont need them on a case reed engine. Your noting going to flood you engine by trailering or rolling the sled if its off like the 96 and later models

 

[masshole]

I just have my brother carry my plugs. Anything I can do to slow down his MXZ 800 HO, the better my odds! :super_happy:
