Vehicle Information
Arctic Cat Cheetah 340 Snowmobile (1972-1994)
The Arctic Cat Cheetah 340, produced from 1972 to 1994, was a popular snowmobile known for its balance of power and trail performance. Throughout its long production run, this model typically featured a fan-cooled, twin-cylinder engine with a displacement consistently around 339cc to 340cc, making it a versatile choice for various riders. The Cheetah 340 saw several significant evolutions. Early models (1972-1975) were powered by Kawasaki engines, but Arctic Cat transitioned to Suzuki engines after 1975 due to reliability concerns. Following the company's bankruptcy and rebirth in the early 1980s, a "new Cheetah" was introduced in 1986, featuring a more robust design. By 1987, models like the Cheetah were integrated into the AFS (Arctic Front Suspension) lineup, indicating advancements in suspension technology. While primarily a standard model, a "C-340" designation appeared in 1973, and a "Cheetah Touring" trim was available from 1989-1992, though its 340cc availability across all those years is not fully confirmed. Q: How do I ensure this product fits my specific Arctic Cat Cheetah 340?
A: Due to variations across model years and trims, please use the year and edition selector on this page to confirm compatibility for your specific snowmobile.
Maintenance
| Component | Interval | Details |
| Chaincase Oil | Periodically | 2-stroke engines do not have a conventional engine oil filter. Chaincase oil requires periodic changes as it degrades with heating/cooling cycles and can be contaminated. |
| Drive Belt | Every 1 to 3 years | Check for wear and replace immediately if any damage is found. When installing a new belt, perform a break-in procedure of 30 km at speeds below 80 km/h. |
| Spark Plug | Annually | Replace annually to avoid starting problems. For the 1972 model, the recommended spark plug is an NGK B9ES with a gap of 0.46 mm to 0.56 mm. |
| Air Filter | Every 50 hours of use | Check and clean or replace after approximately 50 hours of use. More frequent checks are recommended in dusty or muddy conditions. |
| Coolant | Annually or every 2 to 5 years | Maintain coolant level and system integrity. Replace at least once per season, or more frequently for high-performance use. |
