Per the manual, the gearbox oil level should be level with the bottom of the level hole. When I removed the plastic oil level plug, oil started flowing out so I immediately screwed the plug back in. Seems to me this shouldn't happen being its a fairly new machine (2018) bought brand new last August and the machine is level.

Surely Can Am wouldn't have overfilled the gearbox with oil right? Do the dealers fill all fluids before they're sold or do they come from the factory with fluids already filled?

I really don't understand how you can overfill it. What am I missing?

Anyone run into this before?

Like half of the quad zerks won't take grease. When pumping grease gets out between the gun tip and the nipple.
Gun tip locks perfectly onto the nipples. Tried 3 different tips. One brand new. Still won't
Unscrewed one zerks that would not take grease. Pumps right through it.
Screwed it back. Nope.
Tried unscrewing it a little (maybe the bottom of the zerk was bottoming out creating a seal?)
NOPE.
WTF?
Quad is like brand new. 500 miles. Never even got it dirty. Are they just "full" and so tight grease won't spill out by the sides of the bushing like the ones I actually could grease?

Help.

Owner of a 570 Sportsman for two years and really live the way it gets me around the Arkansas Ozarks at deer camp. Had a question maybe someone out there could help with. My rig is the 570 SP with the original 14" tires - 26 x 8 x 14 front and 26 x 10 x 14 rear. Wanting to get a more aggressive tire to install on the same alloy wheels and was thinking of the Sedona Rip Saw 26 x 9 x 14 front and 26 x 11 x 14 rear - Question- Should I add maybe 1" or 1.5" wheel spacers to give my rig a wider stance with more stability in the steep mountain terrain ?

Welcome all advice!
Thanks
William

Hi everyone I have a outlander 6x6 1000 and i have a problem with the muffler heating up. The muffler got so hot that it melted the cardo box.
I would like to know if anyone had the same problem and how did you fix it? Thank-you for any input on the problem.

What do you feel is the best gps for off road and trail navigation?

Hi I’m new to the forum been searching with no luck. I bought this quad a couple a days ago and have been troubleshooting it. Found I had no spark. When I bought the quad it came without the ignition switch. It only has a red and black wire the you tie together to turn over the engine.
I was trying to purchase the ignition switch and saw that it has 4 wires in it it’s missing the green ground and the ignition white with black. I bought the bike with a title so I know it’s not stolen. The guy just lost the key and cut the wires.

Hello,
I want to introduce myself to the forum. My name is Blaine, I live in North Dakota, and I have two Can-Am Traxters. My wife and I are retired, and live on a 40-acre hobby farm, and use the Traxters for chores, fixing fences, pushing snow, etc.

I bought the 2000 500 model about 4 years ago, because my wife liked the step-through design. It has been generally trouble free, except for being extremely hard to start in the winter. Also, I am currently having fits with ongoing issues after replacing the sprag clutch. That's a story for a whole 'nother post, which I will write once the problem is resolved.

The 2004 500XL was bought last year, to replace an old '97 Kawasaki Prairie 400 that was having problems. I liked the step-through design of my 2000 model, and the cargo dump bed is a definite plus. The engine is a little tired, though, but I got it for a good price. Like the 2000, it is extremely hard to start in the winter.

I'll be posting more about my experiences and questions.

Went to start my 2008 trail boss 330 after the winter. I had to jump it and it started then the over heating light came on. So I went to charge the battery and the fan stayed on even without the key in the atv any suggestions
