Hello Everyone:
New to Can Am forum, just purchased a new 2018 Can Am Defender XT-P model, pick it up next week.

From all the reading I have done about this model it states it has been tuned different than the other Defenders. It is tuned to be more aggressive or sportier? Can any body shed some light on this for me.

My last SxS was a Polaris General, nice machine but too many issues, recalls etc.
Clutch and belt problems and noisy .

Hope the Can Am works out for me, I sure like the fit and finish, very well put together.
Thanks

Do I have to remove the whole swing arm to get to it? Already pulled rear axle, and still not enough room.
I so, is it just those 2 large pins with a 1/2 square hole?

I hooked up a led bar to my Polaris 450 sportsman and it shorted out and now my lights don’t work and my Polaris won’t start but every thing else turns on why won’t my Polaris start and why won’t my lights turn on

I just purchased a new Polaris 450. When the engine is idling the engine has a tick. Is this normal ? This is my first Polaris so I am not familiar with their engines. I was going to change the oil and use Amsoil. I wonder if that will quiet the engine down. Any help or advice would be great.

I am looking to get a winch for my ‘16 570. But I don’t want to spend an arm and a leg. Any suggestions?

The 2005 sportsman 500 ho was having some starting issues last spring. I figured it was the starter going out. The recoil was slow to retract as well. I figured before fall I'd put in a new starter, Bendix and rebuild the recoil. Started in on it today. Bendix swap was easy. I changed out the main recoil spring, kept the Polaris rope, the rope carrier (no idea on the name) the pawl, the pawl retract spring, friction spring, and friction washer. When I tighten things down it won't spin. So I backed it off to snug and still spinning. However the pawl won't pop out when I pull the rope. It has to be something with the friction spring/washer putting too much drag on the pawl. It is greased. I watched one the the videos on YouTube saying the friction spring should be roughly parallel to the pawl. Tried that. I'm strumped at this point. Thanks for any help.

I just added a 2018 Commander DPS 1000 to the family. My normal ride is 2013 650 xt Outlander, the toy is for my wife... supposed to be for her birthday but she found out about it yesterday. Lol

Can’t wait to head to camp. Let the good times roll!!!

Have a 2008 Scrambler 500, it ran out of fuel during our last ride. Rotated the fuel valve to reserve and it wouldn't restart. Glanced in the tank (didn't have a flashlight), but it appeared to be empty. I checked the valve position against what the owners manual shows and it appears to be correct. "Reserve" it straight up, "Off" is at 9 and "On" is straight down. Has anybody had a similar experience and if so, what is the fix?

Does anyone know the correct fuel pressure for a 2015 sportsman 570 efi
