Hey guys, my 2013 650 xt seems to like using the cooling fan more than I'd expect. 20-40 mph it's on/off every other minute. 40-50 it's on half as much as 20-40. 50+ I've yet to see it come on.

It's stock other than 26" kenda htr's. I'm in Wisconsin and it's usually not to terribly hot. Also, the metal cover by the right ankle gets up to 233 degree's which I also think is a bit warm.


Coming home from rides I go straight to the water hose and spray it through the radiator to help cool things off as I've waited over 10 minutes letting it cool down to the point the fan shuts off before.

A few things I've done so far:
- Inspected the radiator for swelling and there is none.
- Sprayed the radiator out with the pressure washer, she's clean.
- Good coolant levels


Is this normal can-am hotness or do you guys think there's a possibility of the water pump impeller getting bad or the radiator getting clogged on the inside?

Raced my cousins new Maverick X3 with my 850 SP today, knew I was gonna get beat but dang those things are fast. I done a top speed run on my Sportsman on the highway and actually got 81 mph out of it, but I was no where even close to keeping up with him. I got to drive it a little later and it's a pretty impressive ride I must say.

I need to rebuild my top end.. my oil rings are shot and need a bit of help doing it. Does anyone know where I can download a manual online rather than buying one?

hey guys i just got myself a 2008 outlander 800 and it has roughly 2093 km and id like to know if that is considered high milage and if so what should i use for oil? Ill be be wanting to use oem brand fluids and filter for my next service.

also when the engine is cold its starts, runs a few seconds then quits.If i give it a little gas for 30 seconds its usually fine and once warm it runs good from then on. I have been told this is normal for can am but nobody else that i know with one has this issue.

thanks.:smile

I think the two lights on the bottom of the front might be called auxiliary lights. Mine are not hooked up. There is a wire coming from the lights that has the female plug. There is no wire anywhere in sight with a male plug. What's up with that? Should there be a corresponding with and plug? Or did someone cut it? Or do I need to wire something to it. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

I have a 2012 polaris 500 ho. Is there a way to convert the 4wd from electrically operated to mechanically operated. Went on a ride today and 4wd failed. Worked yesterday when it was on blocks.

Hey guys. I have a 2017 can am renegade 850 xxc. Wondering what headlight bulbs would be the best to upgrade too. I'm leaning twords led bulbs because they draw much less power then hid bulbs plus there is no warm up time for swapping from hi beam to low beam often. I'm wondering if the factory projector housings will react with an led bulb. Any input would be awesome

I have this bike. I had a 2002 years back. It also had a pull start.

I looked and did not see a pull start. Does this bike have one and if so, where is it ?

In search of the socket for the crank nut behind the flywheel. If someone has one that would like to sell it or loan it to me. Or If someone has a different way to remove the nut. Thanks.
