Just finished installing my Can Am rad relocate.

I found it to be a fair bit of work. I took off the plastics, which I probably didn't have to. That was the biggest part of the job. Getting those buggers on an off.

I guess the only other reason I found it a lot of work was because Can Am's instructions I downloaded were useless.

I purchased proper hose clamps, and did not use the one time use clamps that were provided. Just incase I needed to take a hose off (for future mods, or a mistake when installing etc)

I didn't mount the Can Am symbol on top of the rad. I was thinking of designing my own and cutting it out (I have a CNC Router that will do the job) Just not sure what I want on it yet.


This is my youtube video, if anyone is having thoughts of installing one, it may help ..it may not help!

Hello everyone. My name is Dexter skinner. I’m new to this forum.
I’m a retired Engineer that lives in both Florida and Costa Rica.
I resently acquired (4 month ago) a 2008 Can Am renegade to enjoy the true beauty of Costa Rica beach side life style. It’s been a dream to have one of these beast.
With the purchase of this unit, I have been spending a lot of my time bringing it up to excellent conditions. So far, things are going extremely well. Spending a lot of money on new parts with my travels back to the USA.
Once in a while I may ask for your help. Please be patient with me.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards: Dexter

Has anyone else had an issue or any experience with the their key no longer being recognized?
My 1000 xt-p has been parked about 2 1/2 weeks while I've been putting on a new snorkel kit. When I started this, I disconnected the negative battery terminal. During the process I had to remove the ignition to put in a new dash/ Guage mount. When I un plugged the ignition, it came apart. I got it back together, finished the snorkel, reconnected the battery, turned the key on... The lights and dash came on, the greeting went across the screen, then I pushed the start button and nothing happened... Then the message went across the screen "DESS key not recognized"

I recently purchased a 2018 450 HO Utility and was wondering is there a conversion for the rear "Tough Rack" to allow the use of Lock and Ride Accessories?? I figured I'd ask before I start to fabricate something.
THANKS!!

Disappointed in HD5 performance. Are there any mods to increase acceleration, horsepower? Thanks

Curious who has real world experience with bearing buddies?? I am picking up a trailer this week and was thinking ahead about them. I have read a few threads and seem to see people who say "I would never use them." Would love to hear the pros and con's, especially if you have experience with them....
