I am a new owner of a Can Am 570 XP and I need to learn a little bit about its maintenance. I've owned Honda's for the last 20 years, so this is all new to me and I have a few questions.

1.) Do I have to remove all the plastic on the right side of the machine to change the oil?

2.) Should I change the gear box oil while I am changing the engine oil?

3.) Do I use the same oil for the engine and the gear box?

4.) I will be getting a spare belt to carry along in case I need one. The video I watched on replacing it showed them using a threaded bolt to spread the secondary clutch to slip the belt in. Was that supplied with the 4-wheeler or will I need to get one?

I apologize for the simple, stupid questions but I am coming from Honda's where the maintenance was a snap. Thanks.

Hi, I'm trying to remove the bendix off of my atv, and I've watched all the videos, however, i dont think the setup of the bendix on my atv is the same as all the others... ive tried and tried to get that bendix out and it wont come.. its more of a snug fit than the other ones on the videos.. so, do i have to take off the flywheel to get it out? thanks in advance!

Looking to make the trunk on my outlander waterproof, Found this Outsiders Mud Crew
Has anyone tried this gasket or maybe has a cheaper way that seals the trunk well?

Would there be any benefit to using a K&N air filter over the stock filter in my 2017 Outlander 1000?

I would like to know if I can take a computer from the same year and model machine and swap it to my machine to see if it will start. My machine will not start and I have checked just about everything. Here is my story below which is why I want to swap a computer with another machine.


Thanks guys for your help. Here is my dilemma and the things i have checked or replaced. My machine was riding fine and then just died in the woods and would turn over but not start. I towed it home and have checked and or replaced the following. The machine has good spark and is getting fuel and turns over just fine but will not start only a small backfire occasionally if I give it some throttle while turning over.

1. Getting spark
2. Getting fuel
3. fuel pressure is good
4. battery is fine and turns over fine
5. flywheel key is fine
6. changed the cps even though the old one tested fine
7. coil tests fine
8. stator ohm check is a little off book spec but all 3 legs are consistent and none go to ground.
9. compression is good.
10. valves are within spec

So this has turned into a real head scratcher. I did find a slight bare wire on the stator wire that plugs into the rectifier. I taped it up so it should be a problem. But thats why I am trying to figure out if the machine will start and run without the stator plugged in. The only thing I can think of is maybe the rubbing wire shorted out the rectifier and maybe the computer in the process.

Sorry for being so long winded but as you can see I have checked just about everything I can.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey guys need some help I got stage 3s for my 2015 Polaris scrambler 850 ho and I need the part number of the upper radiator hose that fixes the clearance issue like one from scramblers with fox shocks I bought one but it doesn't look right to me thank you ahead of time !

I dont know if you can tell from the pictures, but this is the aftermath of the ATV rolling over sideways 10+ times at a high rate of speed down a steep incline without a rider.....

It is surprisingly little damage considering. I am actually really impressed by how tough this thing is.

We changed the tire and drove it down the trails to camp (with no brakes). The front and rear racks are toast and the brakes master cylinder broke off. Steering Post is a little loose and the handle bar is bent just a tiny bit.Some dash lights dont work, but it runs smooth (ish) still.

I am OK, took a handlebar to the face but avoided most injury when it rolled over me. Wear your helmet people, Probably saved me a ton of injury. Helmet was cracked.

I am sure I will have questions as I try to replace things and get it going again.

I just bought a 570 sportsman during the spring sales event. Real good deal ($5388 plus tax). But anyway, I don’t plan on doing much muddling. Mostly country roads asphalt, trails and semi hard packed dunes. I want to go ahead and get some tires. Which tires should I get? I want to definitely stay away from any tread pattern that would cause a lot of vibration at higher speeds. Right now I’m looking at some 27” swamp lites with 14” itp black wheels. I will also be putting a 2” high lifter lift on.
