Fuel pressure gauge

For those who have installed a fuel pressure gauge, what size is the fuel line and where do you mount it. I haven’t been able to find a write up on this. I going to pull my tank, the pump and clean everything up. My Renegade has been cutting out once it gets hot.

Riders Earn 4×4 Pro and Side-By-Side Podium Sweeps In South Carolina

Valcourt, Québec, April 13, 2015 – Can-Am X-Team ATV and side-by-side vehicle racers swept both the 4×4 Pro and UTV XC1 Pro class podiums at the AMSOIL Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) race held in Union, S.C. Can-Am also scored two podium finishes this past weekend in the Lucas Oil Regional Racing Series in Arizona.

“Defending national champions Bryan Buckhannon, on the Renegade, and Maverick 1000R racer Kyle Chaney, did not disappoint in South Carolina, earning significant victories in their chase to repeat,” said Jeff Leclerc, Racing Project Leader, Can-Am. “Buckhannon regained the class points lead and Chaney is now second overall to Can-Am Maverick pilot Treavis Poynter in the UTV XC1 Pro class standings. In fact, Can-Am racers own the points lead in several classes with four rounds in the books, so we’re off to a good start in 2015.”

Chaney, 2014 GNCC UTV XC1 Pro class champion, notched his first victory of 2015, after posting three wins last year. Chaney was joined on the box by Can-Am Maverick / Offroad Motorsports racer Treavis Poynter and Can-Am / JB Racing / Houser Racing pilot Larry Hendershot, Jr. The three Ohio-based racers battled in the top three positions all afternoon at Big Buck, with Poynter leading all but the final lap. On a narrow course, heavily crowded with lappers, Chaney found his way around Poynter on the final lap to earn his first win.


Reigning UTV XC1 Pro class champion Kyle Chaney drove his No. 1 Chaney Racing / TurnKey Racing / Can-Am Maverick 1000R to victory in South Carolina.

“The Big Buck track was very hard to pass on. We did not get a real good holeshot, but by the end of the first lap I had worked up to second overall behind*Treavis Poynter,” said Chaney. “I knew if I stayed steady and did not make any mistakes in the first few laps we could finish strong. Coming into the last lap we were down by 6 seconds. We both hit lappers on the last lap and I knew it was going to be a very close finish. We won by just under 2 seconds. Way to go*Can-Am for a UTV Pro class podium sweep.”

Poynter ended up second, but, when paired with his first-place finish at round one of the UTV series, he currently owns a 13-point lead going into the next round. Hendershot’s first podium of 2015 moved him to fourth in the class standings.

Can-Am Maverick 1000R racers also own the UTV XC2 Pro Sport class points lead after the VP Racing Fuels Big Buck GNCC event. Can-Am / Jack’s Excavating driver Joe Krcelich finished fourth, but won round one and currently has a four-point cushion over Maverick racer Dave Plavi, who earned a third-place finish in South Carolina. Rich Travalena Jr., competing in the Amateur Limited class for Can-Am, notched his first victory and second podium of the year to climb to within one point of the class leader.


Bryan Buckhannon, the defending GNCC 4×4 Pro class champion, rode his Can-Am Renegade 800R X xc 4×4 to victory and the class points lead at round four of the 2015 AMSOIL GNCC series.

In 4×4 ATV action, Buckhannon convinced all competitors that he is out to replicate last year’s impressive title run, with a stellar wire-to-wire victory aboard his Can-Am Renegade 800R X xc. Two other Renegade racers in Jordan Phillips and Zac Zakowski earned their first podiums of the season, finishing second and third, respectively, to complete the Big Buck podium sweep. Buckhannon has a nine-point lead heading into round five.


The 4×4 Pro class podium was an all Can-Am Renegade 800R X X xc affair at the Big Buck GNCC in Union, S.C. Bryan Buckhannon took the win and was followed to the finish line by Jordan Phillips (left) and Zac Zakowski (right).

“My Can-Am Renegade pulled hard the entire race,” said Buckhannon. “The track was perfect and let the riders ride.*At the end of the day, I am thrilled to come away with first place and the 4×4 Pro class points lead.”

Can-Am 4×4 racers also notched two other class wins and six total podium finishes. Forrest Whorton won the 4×4 Senior (40+) class, while Matthew Ewart took the 4×4 C class victory.

Loorrs – Arizona
DragonFire Racing / Weller Racing / Can-Am Maverick 1000R X ds pilot Ken Benson tallied two podium finishes in the Unlimited UTV class at round three of LOORRS held at Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park in Chandler, Ariz. Benson scored a third-place finish on Saturday and then followed that up with a second-place ride on Sunday at round four of the regional series.

front end help

Hey!
On my 2014 outlander 800 , I installed elka shocks on the bike. Now when cruising along the trail and hitting bumps it’s like I can feel the shock hitting the end of its travel or there’s something loose in the front of the bike. Just replaced the ball joints and tightened the shock bolts to be sure and it’s still doing it. Is this just the feel of the shocks?

I put my pitbull rockers on Itp 112’s up for sale in the classifieds. Bought a turbo maverick and since they are only 26.5" they are a little small. These are the best trail tires I ever used. Wish they were bigger. They sure woodnt be for sale. So if anyone is looking for a great set of used pit bulls check them out.

question on snorkeling outlander 1000

I plan on snorkeling my 2012 outlande 1000 soon. I’ve done many bikes before but first time owning a canam. Any help is appreciated!!

I’m guessing the front/rear diff vents should already be ran up to the pod. Is there anything else I need to run up??
I seen there is a hole in airbox for draining which I plan on siliconing. I read somewhere that the cvt exhaust will have to be 1.5"?

BRP Proposes Nationwide Can-Am Spyder Demo Tour

Valcourt, Quebec, April 10, 2015 – BRP (TSX: DOO) is offering free demo rides across North America. The Can-Am Spyder demo tour will stop in over 150 cities across North America from now through August, providing participants with a free opportunity to test ride 2015 Can-Am Spyder models, including the new Spyder F3.

Demo rides are free and pre-registration is available. Once on site, riders will receive a formal product introduction, followed by a 30-minute demo experience. For a calendar of tour stops and to pre-register for a test ride, visit Can-Am Spyder: 3-Wheel Motorcycles for Touring, Sport-Touring, & Sport | Can-Am Spyder US.

The 2015 Can-Am Spyder demo tour gives consumers the opportunity to experience the thrill of open-air riding. The new Can-Am Spyder F3, the latest model in the Can-Am Spyder line-up is for those who are looking for a lower riding position and centre of gravity, and a muscular design usually found in the cruiser segment. Riders will also be introduced to the first UFit system in the industry. The system provides an innovative way to adjust the riding position to fit the profile, size and preferences of the rider.

“The Can-Am Spyder F3 marks our entry into the cruising-riding segment, which represents a significant growth opportunity for our Spyder line-up,” said François Tremblay, director, Global Marketing, Can-Am Spyder. “We introduced our first Can-Am Spyder vehicles in 2007 and have since extended our line-up to attract different categories of consumers. However, after eight years in that market, we also know what people who have yet to buy a Spyder are looking for. We believe the Spyder F3 will appeal to these consumers.”


Demo tour participants will need a valid motorcycle license, with the exception of California, where only a driver’s license is needed to operate a Can-Am Spyder. For those without a motorcycle license, there will be a condensed, closed-circuit riding opportunity.

The Can-Am Spyder F3 received a Red Dot design award for high design quality in March 2015. Red Dot is an international design competition based in Germany that recognizes excellence in product design.

The Can-Am Spyder line-up now includes four models to meet the desired riding experience of multiple types of riders. In addition to the Can-Am Spyder F3, the Spyder RT touring line delivers the ultimate in touring performance and comfort. The Spyder RS sport line represents the machine for the rider who has a passion for a vehicle with a sport bike riding posture. The Spyder ST sport-touring line represents the optimum combination of comfort and sportiness.

Clutch issues

Hey guys, new to the forum and Can Am so I’m sorry if this has been asked before. I have an 2012 800 Outy that is slipping/jumping at slight throttle. I am pretty sure I toasted the belt the last time I rode (got hung up and it smoked a good bit then started the "jumping") so I replaced the belt but it’s still doing the same thing. Looked like the secondary was the one "jumping". So I pulled the clutches last night and secondary looks fine but the primary looks a little damaged. See pictures. The bearing looks worn, the rear sheave has light rust ring and the outer sheave has a slight groove. Should I replace that whole primary or would these things even be causing this "jumping". I just don’t want to go buying a ton of parts that I don’t truly need. Thanks in advance!
