Ok I do a lot or HEAVY off roading, big mud bogs big hill climbs and a lot of winching, in very remote country where reliability is my main concern.
I've been in 4x4ing all my life so I know what is problematic while 4x4ing and what to expect
I've come off an old hond foreman 450 that was just not capiable enough any more

I bought an 09 800 outlander, now I understand it is 10 years old and will have some issues that need attention
but f@#k me!!!!

Power and handling is amazing!

But EVERY time I ride this thing it goes into limp mode
Is this the reliability I can expect from a canam?

Last trip away 4 mins off the trailer on a gravel road going 20km/hr on a cold day
"HI temp limp mode"

The next morning I thrash it for 2 hrs in the hot sun and mud bogs before it does it again

Next time another light ride 15 mins and "hi temp" again

Some times it is a bit warm but most times I can touch the rad and the jugs so I know it's not hot.

-fully serviced all fluids
-rad lifted
-fan works
-Bled the cooling system multiple times
-fully charged battery

My thoughts at this stage are stat or temp sensor anyone have any input or help?

At this point I am severely disappointed in buying a canam.

Hey guys im new to the forum and new to atvs
Me and hubby just found me a 2006 polaris 250 trailblazer..it needs some tlc...looking forward to learning how to fix it!

Any can am discount codes for accessories. Or anything coming up in the near future?

I need some fresh "eyeballs" on this one. This 330 will start and idle, but with a bit of throttle it dies. With the choke on it will rev, although, somewhat sluggishly. I just got it and I'm ready to pull my hair out! It has a brand new carb and intake boot. Fresh, clean fuel is in it. Compression is almost 120. I even checked the bolts that mount the intake boot to make sure they weren't a hair too long. I had that happen on a dirtbike once. I didn't replace the carb and boot. They were on it when I got it. I even tried a gravity feed tank( although it was a pretty hokey setup and I might try something different if nothing else works) and it still isn't right. So, IDK if the fuel lines are routed properly.
#1 goes to the carb on the right side
#2 goes to the petcock
#3 goes to the inlet on the carb
Does that look right?

Just joined forum and have read a lot of good threads seems there are lot of good people here offering up good advice.
Always try to do as much of the service work as I can, saying that here I am about to (TRY) to install plastic skid plates purchased from my Can AM dealer for on my 2019 850 Max XT
I did install a aluminum set on my 2015 500 Max Xt that kit was a headache better part of afternoon (OFF SHORE RUSSIAN)lots a parts.
Can Am kit has less parts but MY QUESTION??? does the front plate go up under the existing plastic or over and attach to the winch fairing bolts the rest seems straight forward.
Any advice and pictures would be welcome.
Thanks

Riding this week and the engine light came on ,about the same time I realize I dont have 4X4 anymore. The drive fuse was blown. Replaced and went on my merry way. Blew another in a couple minutes dident see any obvious wires that might be frayed or burnt. Got back to the cabin and Pulled code 520207 5 . All Wheel Drive Control,,,Driver Circuit Open/Grounded. The only thing I could think to do was look for broken wires at the switch and where the wires go into the front gearcase.The only thing I found was 1 of the 2 wires in the AWD switch box on the handlebar was pinched. How do I disconnect that wire harness from the switch I couldn't unplug it.
Any guidance on what else and where to look for anything?
2015 850 SP

As I was riding I heard a strange noise as if the belt broke and when I took the cover off it seemed the secondary clutch bolt had come out and stripped the cam gear.

The new cam I purchased is retrofitted for that bike(shown in the picture).

I'm having trouble assembling the retro cam helix and the stock secondary clutch plate.

The bolt will go in but I cannot get the belt tool to expand the plates.
(do I need new plates? and also the new spring that fits into the helix?)
I saw a youtube video that showed a spring that was fitted into tits one in the helix the other in the clutch plate.

I'm not sure of the alignment of the clutch plates either as they came apart when the bolt snapped originally.


Here are a bunch of pictures, maybe you can find waldo.
