So, I’ve decided to pull the trigger on a 2019 Max XT 650. I decided on this model because I don’t really do anything exciting on an atv...just trail cruising. Figured it was the best mix of drivability and fuel economy and low maintenance. Went to the dealer and they didn’t have any. They are trying to get me into an Max XT-P 850 instead. As I mentioned, I don’t need upgraded bead lock wheels, Fox shocks, etc. But I recognize a good deal when I see one; I think. The deal is $12k plus all the fees. That’s $1,600+ off and a 2 year warranty. This is only $650 more than the 650. So I’m essentially getting the upgraded wheels and shocks for free. It does have 36 miles on it already but heck, I’ll put that much on in one ride. Why am I questioning this? 2 reasons:

1. Is it normal to get that much off? If so, does that mean I can get even $1k off a Max XT 650?
2. Is the jump from a 650 to an 850 a big deal? For cruising style riding, more power may not be necessary and gets worse fuel mileage.

I have the atv on hold until I can pick it up Saturday. Thanks in advance to any thoughts on this.

Well, I just bought my 2019 850XT in the break-up country camo. I haven't owned a quad for about 25 years and my last ride a (dating myself here!) was a Big Bear 350. So, this is quite a step up from that! It's pretty much stock at this point with only a mid-high windshield and the hand/thumb warmer added at the time of purchase.

I live in southern Ontario but am originally from Northern Ontario and that's where my ridin' will be happening.

It was a bitter-sweet start to my new adventure yesterday when I went to pick up my new toy. I got to the dealership yesterday and while we were in the parking lot going over the machine, I see a big puddle of oil on the ground. The salesman and I get down and look around and the skid-pan is full of oil but we can't see where it's coming from. He rolls it back into the service area and promises it'll get looked at on Monday as all the service techs left at two o'clock.

I leave feeling VERY disappointed and unsure of the dealership, Can-Am and really kinda regretting of the money I just slapped down for my first quad in 25 years...

He calls me a couple hours later and says they asked a tech to come back in and check it out. He told me the rubber seal on the oil filter was missing and that's where the oil was coming from. He goes on to tell me he's seen it a handful of times in the last number of years as the filter is installed at the factory.

So much for paying the pre-delivery inspection charge!!??

I'll be going back there this week to try and pick it up again. I'm hoping things go A LOT smother in the future...

Hi my name Normand, I live in Alberta, I have a outlander 1000 6x6 2015, I use it for hunting and have some fun with my kids making new trails or just riding in the bush.

Disappointing at best. Not many options to be different

Did some riding today and ran into a problem. Took a couple careful runs through a hole I was pretty confident in, but never actually been through them. My buddy in a 2” Lifted HighLifter 850 didn’t even come close to his fenders, so I felt ok.

Anyway, made a couple runs through it and noticed the bike acting kinda laggy. Still did the job, so I just kept going. Trying to get my daughter some confidence riding and had her follow me on the quad as I walked through the hole.

All of a sudden, the whole drivetrain quit. No rear, no FWD, had to physically pull the bike out of the hole. Took my knife out and twisted the drain plug off the box and water comes gushing out. Gave it a little throttle (in neutral) and water pours out the drain and out of the top of the belt box.

The video shows I got nowhere close to going over the belt box breathers. Can someone tell me what happened? Trying to get video attached. If not I’ll snap pictures to show how deep.
