Well, I just bought my 2019 850XT in the break-up country camo. I haven't owned a quad for about 25 years and my last ride a (dating myself here!) was a Big Bear 350. So, this is quite a step up from that! It's pretty much stock at this point with only a mid-high windshield and the hand/thumb warmer added at the time of purchase.

I live in southern Ontario but am originally from Northern Ontario and that's where my ridin' will be happening.

It was a bitter-sweet start to my new adventure yesterday when I went to pick up my new toy. I got to the dealership yesterday and while we were in the parking lot going over the machine, I see a big puddle of oil on the ground. The salesman and I get down and look around and the skid-pan is full of oil but we can't see where it's coming from. He rolls it back into the service area and promises it'll get looked at on Monday as all the service techs left at two o'clock.

I leave feeling VERY disappointed and unsure of the dealership, Can-Am and really kinda regretting of the money I just slapped down for my first quad in 25 years...

He calls me a couple hours later and says they asked a tech to come back in and check it out. He told me the rubber seal on the oil filter was missing and that's where the oil was coming from. He goes on to tell me he's seen it a handful of times in the last number of years as the filter is installed at the factory.

So much for paying the pre-delivery inspection charge!!??

I'll be going back there this week to try and pick it up again. I'm hoping things go A LOT smother in the future...
:big-grin

Hey guys just got a new set of 29 big horns 2.0 and just saw that they say 8 ply on the side where no where on the net says they are 8 and only states they are 6ply. Am I crazy here or can anyone tell me why mine say 8?

Hi my name Normand, I live in Alberta, I have a outlander 1000 6x6 2015, I use it for hunting and have some fun with my kids making new trails or just riding in the bush.

Disappointing at best. Not many options to be different

Did some riding today and ran into a problem. Took a couple careful runs through a hole I was pretty confident in, but never actually been through them. My buddy in a 2” Lifted HighLifter 850 didn’t even come close to his fenders, so I felt ok.

Anyway, made a couple runs through it and noticed the bike acting kinda laggy. Still did the job, so I just kept going. Trying to get my daughter some confidence riding and had her follow me on the quad as I walked through the hole.

All of a sudden, the whole drivetrain quit. No rear, no FWD, had to physically pull the bike out of the hole. Took my knife out and twisted the drain plug off the box and water comes gushing out. Gave it a little throttle (in neutral) and water pours out the drain and out of the top of the belt box.

The video shows I got nowhere close to going over the belt box breathers. Can someone tell me what happened? Trying to get video attached. If not I’ll snap pictures to show how deep.

Per the manual, the gearbox oil level should be level with the bottom of the level hole. When I removed the plastic oil level plug, oil started flowing out so I immediately screwed the plug back in. Seems to me this shouldn't happen being its a fairly new machine (2018) bought brand new last August and the machine is level.

Surely Can Am wouldn't have overfilled the gearbox with oil right? Do the dealers fill all fluids before they're sold or do they come from the factory with fluids already filled?

I really don't understand how you can overfill it. What am I missing?

Anyone run into this before?

Like half of the quad zerks won't take grease. When pumping grease gets out between the gun tip and the nipple.
Gun tip locks perfectly onto the nipples. Tried 3 different tips. One brand new. Still won't
Unscrewed one zerks that would not take grease. Pumps right through it.
Screwed it back. Nope.
Tried unscrewing it a little (maybe the bottom of the zerk was bottoming out creating a seal?)
NOPE.
WTF?
Quad is like brand new. 500 miles. Never even got it dirty. Are they just "full" and so tight grease won't spill out by the sides of the bushing like the ones I actually could grease?

Help.

Owner of a 570 Sportsman for two years and really live the way it gets me around the Arkansas Ozarks at deer camp. Had a question maybe someone out there could help with. My rig is the 570 SP with the original 14" tires - 26 x 8 x 14 front and 26 x 10 x 14 rear. Wanting to get a more aggressive tire to install on the same alloy wheels and was thinking of the Sedona Rip Saw 26 x 9 x 14 front and 26 x 11 x 14 rear - Question- Should I add maybe 1" or 1.5" wheel spacers to give my rig a wider stance with more stability in the steep mountain terrain ?

Welcome all advice!
Thanks
William
