I was loading up the YFZ and the Prairie to participate in the Memorial ride for Mikes Dad. The Kids asked to ride theirs in the back yard while I was loading the others up. a few minutes went by and I noticed that the little Arctic Cat was smoking  a bit more than normal. writing it off to a heavy oil mix, I started to Load up the Prairie on the trailer. as both of the kids rolled around from another pass I caught the horrifying glance of Flames from under the Arcticat. my son was non the wiser. I launched the Prairie off the trailer and Raced to my sons aid. I snatched him off the quad and pushed it into the Pond.
Initial evaluations have shown that the airfilter housing is what caught fire,Why is unclear  the plastics and the seat suffered some damage as well.
The hardest part is convincing him that it was not his fault. Mike, Melissa sorry for not getting there I hope all went well...
I'll post pics tomorrow when I futher evaluate the damage

Thanks for the support KYle is doing great, Quad on the other hand is going to need some new plastics, airbox and some wiring repairs. all are do'able in time. It could have been worse.
