Hello All!!! :th_smiliewavey:
I'm new to the forum although not new to Can-Am. I currently have a 2007 Renegade 500 and recently purchased a 2012 Renegade 1000XXC. Love both of them and ride often. I will explore around in the forum but I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions. I live in the lower Michigan area and love trail riding but hill climbs and rocks and valleys are fun as well. Any recommendations out there from other riders? It's great to be here and I look forward to meeting others in due time.

I recently lost a key and have to buy one and get it programmed, and this got me thinking. Has anyone just replaced the ignition switch to a regular switch using regular keys?

It would make life easier and be cheaper in the long run.

Has anyone done this? Would it work?

Thanks

I have searched and searched have not really found info on how people are running the front tracks, Front roller down or up? I understand that when it is rotated down you get more ground contact and rotated up it will turn better. Those of you that have the Apache tracks, which position do you prefer and benefits? I did notice that when rotated up I have to remove my extreme bumper so it doesn't contact during turning. Of course since I got my tracks over the summer it has not snowed more than 1" here for me to test :crying.

So I got some nice looking cv joints from ebay and the hole that connects the shaft to the diff is drilled about a spline off, which makes a rollpin impossible to get through both shafts and still be tight. In other words , I'm trying to come up with a solution to the problem. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Hi, New to the forum. I just picked up a 2018 570 SP. I bought this model for trail riding and just for some fun. I liked the EPS and EBS features (and Im not gonna lie, the color). Appreciate any recommendations on accessories. I have been looking at front and rear bumpers as well as hand guards. Thanks

I’ve had my 2017 Can Am Outlander XMR 850 for about 3 months now with only 50 hours. When I first had the bike it rode like a dream. However, now, I have an extreme issue with the front suspension. Recently, when I drive, the bike feels as if someone is hitting the frame of the bike with a hammer when the front shocks top out (tires come off the ground). As soon as the suspension reaches full extension (front), sounds like a loud knock on the frame. I have already messed around with the preload, but this has not solved anything. I have set the preload, to where my springs are completely loose, and I still have the same noise when the suspension reaches full extension. Also, I have taken off the shocks from the bike, and the Fox Podium Shocks are super hard to compress! I can’t compress these shocks with my life! Is this even normal? Are my shocks blown? Are you able to compress them by hand? Please I need your help! I can’t drive with this problem, it literally hits my frame hard when I hit a bump. I’ve seen a couple of threads with my similar issue but no solution. Please help!

Hi I have the cover off and the rockers seem to lift the same. Is there a way to measure lift without cam removal, if so how ? If I have to replace the cam what do you recommend ? 99 Big Boss 500
thanks.
