Read before buying can am

I own a 2014 can-am commander Max XT, pretty much a stock machine, It has 74hrs on it.It is only used to ride my 6yr old and 5 yr old around the farm. I have never ridden it hard and have kept up the maintenance as recommended. A few weeks ago it started having an issue going into high gear. It was an intermittent issue but it made a terrible noise when it did it. Since i had purchased the B.E.S.T. warranty i decided to take it to the dealer to let them check it out. They told me that the engagement gear was worn but he was almost positive that it would be warrantied since there was no other damage or water intrusion. The service department concluded that it was just a bad part. However BRP declined the repair under warranty saying that they had seen damage similar to this caused by "shifting gears on the go". I always was the driver on this machine and NEVER have i shifted on the go. I almost always was in high gear as i was riding in the fields or dirt roads.I was about to trade this machine in on a new defender but now I’m going to sell it and buy a Honda or Polaris. I cant believe that BRP is going to stick me with this $3000 bill after spending all that money on their warranty. I will never own another Can-Am nor will i recommend anyone else to buy one.

Gains after speedo limiter removed on stock 850

Removed the speed limiter on my 850 last night . With limiter it ran 77 mph sometimes 78 . With it gone it ran 83 mph . Pretty impressed with the numbers after reading some say that there were only a couple mph left in it .

It was a cool night and probably about the best conditions you will find for a speed run .

Yes I know for most 78 mph is enough for most … but not for me . I want it all . :th_smiliebanana2:

Air filter frame

Hey guys I was just wondering if I can spray my air filter frame with water. I don’t know what it’s called but the metal thing that holds the filter in place. Anyway I was just wondering if I can clean it because it’s really dirty.
