Hey everyone, I picked up a 2017 650xmr this weekend (had a 16′ a month ago…..it got wrote off……)

There are indeed a few differences between the two years.

The trailing arms are painted red.
There are new plastic REAR CV boot protectors.
Gone is the big xmr ‘X’ on the side, a different sticker now.
They seem to have the copper looking can am brake pads (hopefully the better ones)

And the big difference, was the new DESS key. like a sea doo I’m told, not an actual key. Not sure if I like it as it can just pop off and did not come with a lanyard.

Cheers,
