I dont know if you can tell from the pictures, but this is the aftermath of the ATV rolling over sideways 10+ times at a high rate of speed down a steep incline without a rider.....

It is surprisingly little damage considering. I am actually really impressed by how tough this thing is.

We changed the tire and drove it down the trails to camp (with no brakes). The front and rear racks are toast and the brakes master cylinder broke off. Steering Post is a little loose and the handle bar is bent just a tiny bit.Some dash lights dont work, but it runs smooth (ish) still.

I am OK, took a handlebar to the face but avoided most injury when it rolled over me. Wear your helmet people, Probably saved me a ton of injury. Helmet was cracked.

I am sure I will have questions as I try to replace things and get it going again.

I just bought a 570 sportsman during the spring sales event. Real good deal ($5388 plus tax). But anyway, I don’t plan on doing much muddling. Mostly country roads asphalt, trails and semi hard packed dunes. I want to go ahead and get some tires. Which tires should I get? I want to definitely stay away from any tread pattern that would cause a lot of vibration at higher speeds. Right now I’m looking at some 27” swamp lites with 14” itp black wheels. I will also be putting a 2” high lifter lift on.

Just bought a 2017 outlander 650 XT. Was looking to see if other years of HMF swamp series will fit I keep find 12 to 14 years of them and they are much cheaper.

Hi fellow Can-Am'ers

Not actually new to this forum, was fairly active here some time ago but my old login didn't work anymore.
Been some time since I owned a Can-Am as I sold my 2009 Outlander 650 Max a few years ago. Now things have changed. I've moved back to my birthplace and can do a lot more wheeling so its time to invest in a brand new shiny ATV. Wohoooo!
Cheers!

Hi, I've just created this account because I'm trying to locate an alternative to the rear shocks for my 2005 500 Traxter XT. I found where the front ones can be interchanged with a Honda Foreman, (2001 and up) but I'm uncertain about the rears. Any help will be appreciated as the OEM's are discontinued. Sorry if this is in the wrong topic selection, and thanks for any advice.

So it's time to charge the oil in my rear diff. What ki Ind of oil are you guys using? The OEM stuff costs quite a bit.

Hey yall, just bought this atv for use on farm and during hunting season. The atv won’t be for trail use or mudding. My question is, what all would be recommended for service on this unit. The unit has 72hrs and roughly 500miles on it. I’m not worried about which name brand of fluids to buy. This is my first atv and looking to do a full service on it before use. What do you all recommend changing as far as fluids go or anything else for a new buyer of used atv?? Thank you

I have a new Defender HD8 with the polycarbonate, hard-coated flip windshield. I want to put some type of rain repellent on the windshield. What works for you? Don't want to create haze or discoloration on the windshield, just want the rain to bead up and roll off.

I am having trouble reading this manual that they have. They never added anything about gear oil box change grease points or any of that. Just the basic oil change on the atv. What do i do on gearbox oil change is that the same as a typical change on a 2017 Can Am 450 sst g2? If anyone could be kind to help me thank you. I really feel kinda dumb when I bought a Can-Am but really enjoy it.
