Description
For over a century, Gates has driven innovation in belt technology to power the machines that move you. Gates® G-Force C12 CVT belt drives are engineered to navigate the toughest off-road trails with power and efficiency. The industry's first CVT belt with carbon tensile cord also features a trapezoid top-notch and rounded cog design for superior flexibility and heat dissipation, along with a unique gum adhesion that reduces fiber pullout within the belt extending the life of the belt. Gates combines material science and process engineering to create innovative products that provide performance, reliability and the strength to withstand even the most challenging off-road environments. Continuous innovation isn't just what we do. It's who we are.
WHY G-FORCE C12 BELTS?
- STRENGTH: The first CVT belt utilizing carbon tensile cord for minimal stretch and extraordinary strength.
- FLEXIBILITY: High-performance neoprene with a trapezoidal topnotch and rounded bottom cog design maximizing heat control and flexibility.

Vehicle Information
Arctic Cat Bearcat 3000 Snowmobile (2016-2017)
The Arctic Cat Bearcat 3000, available for the 2016 and 2017 model years, was positioned as a robust utility snowmobile. Both years featured a consistent powertrain: a 700cc, liquid-cooled, in-line, OHV, 4-stroke engine, rated at approximately 65 horsepower. This engine, part of the new "3000 series" and manufactured by Kymco for Arctic Cat, utilized electronic fuel injection (EFI) and a four-valve-per-cylinder design. The Bearcat 3000 LT was the primary trim offered for both 2016 and 2017, built on Arctic Cat's ProUte platform. The 2016 model year marked the introduction of the Arctic Cat Bearcat 3000 LT as an entirely new model, bringing with it the new 3000 series 700cc 4-stroke engine. This represented a significant addition to Arctic Cat's utility lineup. For 2017, the Bearcat 3000 LT was largely a carryover from the previous year, meaning no major mid-cycle generation or engine changes were implemented for this specific model. The core specifications and features remained consistent across these two model years. Q: How do I ensure I'm selecting the correct parts for my Bearcat 3000?

Maintenance
| Component | Interval | Details |
| Engine Oil and Filter | Initial: 800 km. Subsequent: 4 000 km or annually. General recommendation: 100 h or annually, first change at 25 h. | Change after the initial break-in period. General recommendations for 4-stroke snowmobiles may vary. |
| Air Filter | Inspect/change with every oil change (4 000 km or annually). Check every 10 h. | More frequent service may be required in dusty or muddy conditions. |
| Spark Plug | Inspect around every 100 h. | Replacement can address odd running behavior. |
| Drive Belt | Break-in: 40 km. Inspect around every 100 h. Typical lifespan: 2 400 to 4 800 km. | |
| Coolant | 200 h or every 2 years. | It is recommended to change coolant every 2 years regardless of use. |
Maintenance intervals are based on available information and general recommendations. For a precise and comprehensive schedule, always consult your vehicle's official owner's manual.
