Hello all, just purchased a 2016 can am commander 800R. My wife and I tested the sport with a CF Moto Z force 800 and what a night and day on comfort and performance.
I currently am pretty stock. Just ordered my 42" LED Light for the front and have already had the fun of smelling coolant inside my buggy. Looking to see what the options are as far as a fix. If anyone can PM me with options that would be great! I'm pretty handy with the hands and can usually do anything. If anyone has any questions about machines feel free to reach out.

hi. my name is Ammon and I absolutely love my new can am. right now it is under construction getting a few upgrades done. unfortunately it was involved in a little accident and while i am fixing the body work on it i decided to throw a few upgrades on it. I mainly enjoy mud riding and swamp exploring. lol. i started on 2 wheels and rode dirt bikes for many years but as i am getting older my body cannot handle the 2 wheelers as well as it used to. I loved dirt bikes for their speed and agility so when i got into the 4wheeler world i wanted something fast. i started out on a kingquad and realized very quickly that it didnt have enough power. can ams were out of my price range so after saving a while i was finally able to purchase my 2017 can am outlander 850. and I LOVE IT!!!

2016 850xt & 570xt or 2017 650dps & 570dps difference in price of $36 a month
The 16 570 doesn't look like the L model which I like but the 17 does. The 17 I have them throwing in the 2 year warranty on one so far shooting for both lol. Thoughts and opinions please. How is fuel consumption on 650 vs 850 just normal trail crusing?

Hey new to the forum and Canam. I love the new ride. Also knew the ride was going to be rough through research. I don't think it's due to the fox shocks as much as it is the amount of pre load they put on the springs to maintain GC. I've swapped my rear springs out with XMr 650's which allowed me to lessen the preload and maintain 13" GC.

It did make the ride better but not as plush as I would like. Especially coming from a Polaris. I'm not looking to get into the you bought a mud bike what do you expect. I'll replace the suspension with elka stage 3 or something if need be but for now I'm playing around with the stock HPG.

Has anyone ran the spring spacer on the XMR and lowered the preload? I'm thinking with the spacer I will be able to run less preload but keep comparable GC and in hopes improve the ride

Any constructive feedback would be great. Thanks.

I have an 87 trail boss 250 with a bad silent chain. My chain gas 60 pins and 11 plates. The part number for my exact chain is 3224038 however I cannot find any to buy. I have found part number 3233111 which is for 94 and up trial bosses. It's 60 pins and 11 plates. Will this chain work inside my transmission?

Hey guys new to the forum..I bought a 2004 Polaris sportsman 600 and having issues with getting the 2 bolts out of the upper a arm. Looks like I may have to pull the axle loose to set them free. Doesn't look like I have any other option..if anyone can answer this for me please help..thanks Jim

I need to side load an ATV on a trailer from the rear. I've seen lots of videos of people doing it stupid ways, such as spinning the tires, brute forcing it, etc, not interested in that.

My idea is to use one of those jacks, lift it up and turn it. But I can't find a jack that has casters where all 4 wheels turn, or even a jack that has something larger than the tiny little wheels.

Anyone have any suggestions? I found a jack on Alibaba, but you have to order 10 :( and I can't find that jack anywhere else.

I could lift it up on to castors, but trying to minimize the amount of junk I need to carry and deal with.

Appreciate any ideas.

When it comes to heavyweight Utility UTVs, the 2017 Can-Am Defender HD10 XT and Polaris Ranger XP 1000 EPS are at the top of the food chain.

If you are in the market for a powerful UTV that will not only work hard but that can be trail ridden with kid gloves, than you have come to the right place. Our big brute test between the 2017 Can-Am Defender HD10 XT and Polaris Ranger XP 1000 EPS was quite possibly the high-power highlight of our adventures in the mountains of northern Georgia. These two machines are not only capable of towing many pounds of work gear and material, but they both have the grunt from some of the best engine designs in our industry.

Innovation is a word that gets thrown around in the engineering office at both Can-Am and Polaris. In 2017 with the stakes getting higher for market share and wow factors becoming increasingly demanded by you the consumer, we can tell you this: both companies are listening well. This matchup gave us an opportunity to really digest just how similar and yet vastly different these two Side-by-Sides are.

Can't get my sportsman 700 to shift gears while bike is running. Background, I have replaced both drive and driven clutch assemblies. I have replaced transmission input shaft, (old one bent and aluminum clutch assemblies blew apart while running wide open, sounded like a bomb going off, thank goodness the plastic cove is as tuff as it is). Also installed a new carburetor. I have played with idle RPM anywhere from 800 to 1200. The only way it shifts is when I stop the engine. Any suggestions? Thanks
