2015 xmr 800 owners beware

Hello everyone.

I purchased my 2015 xmr 800 in December. Last month
I blew the front left shock body to pieces. 1 week later on a
Not bad trail the other blew. I took the shock off and brought it in.
Just today the dealer upgraded me to the fox shocks that come on the 1000
I was very pleased. To replace the original shock it was 100 bucks so you
Can imagine the quality of the shock to begin with. Good on Ya can am.
I see they got smart and put the fox shocks on the 2016 850.

Happy customer.

04 Bombardier Quest 650 Runability issue

Just purchased this quad about a month ago. Doesn’t like cold starts much, will often stall, even when warmed up. Also when warm, will fall on it’s face and sometimes backfire when you try to go WOT with it. I know it’s a heavy 4 wheeler, but certainly doesn’t have the balls it should. Has plenty of engine braking and No belt slipping issues, doesn’t free rev or clunk into any gear.
Also, even when in Neutral, it just doesn’t rev as powerful as I think it should, it seems to me the engine is starving for fuel.
Choke seems to work fine, when it does stall out, it will start again easily without the choke on.

I’m needing some advice on either what to look for in the carb, or where to buy a rebuild kit for it. I’ve been searching for a few days, but am having a hard time finding any rebuild kit for this particular quad. I’m not very familiar with the similarities between this quad and the Can Am Rotax engine, so I may have better luck searching for Can Am parts. Also from what I’ve read/seen, there is a fuel filter in the carb, correct? I haven’t found an inline filter like I expected to see, but I’m automotive guy and don’t have much experience working on 4 wheelers.

Also, do I need to pull the plastics off the quad to remove the carb, or can it be snaked out from the top?

Other than fixing the front left cv shaft, I haven’t looked into the runability much yet.

Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Where everone is measuring the width of there belt?

So I looked at the repair manual and the spec said the belt at the thread wear line if it is below 30mm then the belt needs replacing, so I did what I thought was what the book said, and the spot measured 30.35mm, with the overal width being 32.35mm (brp belt). So I went to the store and picked up a Gates Gforce belt. And that one overal measured 33mm, and what I think the book is telling me spots to measure the new belt came in right around 31, just does not seem right. So I wondered where exactly are most of you measuring the belt? I was doing this with a digital caliper.

I know when I measure my snowmobile belts it tells you to measure overal width, since these cvt systems are so close to the same concept would they not have the same measure points?
