Hello all. I am new to the forum (longtime lurker I guess) but not new to ATVs. It was time to get back on an ATV and I just bought a nice used 2016 Outlander 1000 XT. This is my first Can-Am. I looked at the Can-Am accessory guide and did quite a bit of searching around the forum, but need to answer a question:


Will the Can-Am HD springs (715003199 front and 715003200 rear) fit on my G2 Outlander? Their accessory fit guide is rather poorly written and says they fit on G2 machines including base model, DPS, XT, and the Xmr with the 650 engine only. Does that mean it will fit only on 650 cc G2 machines, or on all except the XMR, which is only 650?


Anyone put these on an Outty 1000 XT (non-max)?


Thanks.

Looking at a 1994 400 Sportsman without an engine. I own a 2002 500 HO Scrambler and a 2003 330 Trail Boss and was wondering if any of the things like the body, racks, tires and wheels, or anything else are interchangeable?

hey guys im new to this forum but i baught a 2015 scrambler 1000 xp i was out the other day an noticed at night when i rev it up i lose my low beam an dash lights if on high the lights stay on but still now dash lights anyone else have this problem

Ok,
Have actually been a member here for quite some time but haven't made any posts because I haven't owned a Can Am. I have owned a couple of 2013 Honda Ranchers for several years and have been very pleased with their reliability. With the type of riding my wife and I do they have been adequate in taking us anywhere we have wanted to go with no issues. Even being at the bottom of the chart for horsepower with only 28 hp, they have hauled my wife and I and other couples wherever we've chosen to go with no problem whatsoever. The only issue that we've encountered is the ride quality, and not that it has been terrible, it is just a little rougher than we like and seems to be a little too hard on my wife in both riding double and when she has a long day of riding and driving herself. So we have been looking and researching different types of machines trying to decide what direction we should go. To be honest, I have not read or seen a lot of positive reviews of Cam Am and am curious as to why, they of course have not been nearly as negative as the reviews and info I have read on Polaris. Can anyone shed some light as to why Can Am is getting such a bad rap. We've got friends that have one of these machines and have had a good experience with it. Other than a factory recall that has yet to be dealt with, they have been extremely pleased with it. Also have some other friends that just purchased a 2017 850 XTP with every bell and whistle imaginable last fall and have been happy with it as well. So while looking over the past few months I found a 2018 570 Outlander DPS with 49 miles on it and still under warranty from a gentlemen in Boise Idaho. I have made arrangements to purchase the machine with delivery in a week or so, in posting on the Honda forum that I have done so was blasted with responses. I feel it is a great deal and the fact that he is willing to deliver it to us was a bonus. I guess my big question is, is there anything I need to be concerned about in getting this machine? I just figured that it being new, having PS, independent suspension, fuel injection, and being an automatic would be the perfect machine for my wife and when fitted with a rear seat and foot rests would work for when we wanted to ride double. What is it about Can Am that causes such fiery responses from other brand owners? But ultimately, am I purchasing a truckload of problems? I don't water or mud ride and am meticulous about maintenance, and after every ride wash our machines from top to bottom. Knowing that these machines have grease zerk fittings all over, they will be checked on a regular basis. How often should the oil be changed with that 570 twin? I would appreciate and info and feed back I can get. Thanks FF.
This is what the machine looks like.

I just got the 2018 XMR 850 and i know from owning the 16 650 XMR that the seals go after 1500KM or so. Just wondering if there is an aftermarket seal kit that would stop this from happening? If I could avoid water getting in now for a few 100 bucks it would be worth it!

Figured I would throw a thread up in anticipation of picking up my new machine! I'm picking up an 18 1000 XP on Saturday for myself and a 570 SP for my wife!

I'm coming of a Raptor 700R that I rode for the last 10 years or so, loved it and will miss it, but was tired of going on ling rides and being the only one on a shift sport machine getting beat up the whole time! My wife had an old Sportsman 400ho, that we sold in favor of a Renegade 800R.

Loved the performance of the Renegade, but it was too much for her, and being almost 10 years old I figured we would get rid of it while its worth something.

I originally wanted a Scrambler for the speed junky in me, but after some soul searching (my wide said I didn't need it:devil) I decided the Sportsman gave me the best of both worlds.

I have already upgraded the wheels and tires on the 1000, I'll see how my wife like the 570 as is and upgrade that as needed.

I am having the winch mounted and i think I'm sold on Guru bumpers for both machines. I'm sure I'll some questions and need advice int he future, but in the mean time I'm looking forward to picking them up and the first ride!!

My 2002 sportsman 700 has only 40 psi of compression was driving through a water hole when it just lost power and died didn't get water in carb water was right under it tho and the 2011 sportsman 800 is making a lot of loud clanking when driving from the rear end when in reverse mainly it will bog down then make a loud ping noise then start to move almost like something is jammed in the gears, also it has jumped out of gear once while riding at around 40 mph the CV joints in the back have a lot of movement in them was wondering where to start with them I don't know what to try to figure out the problem

I need help finding a replacement Trail Buck 650 ex tail light Lens. I can find a part number or even a number in schematic. Anyone know if there what fits it? Or a part number?
I’m grateful for any help or ideas/perspectives.
Thanks
