06 outlander 800 question.

I bought a used can am and it runs great, but I’m concerned on this starting issue I’m having.

If I put the key on and start it, it starts right up. If I turn the key to off and then quickly back to on and try to restart it, it won’t start it will just crank. If I pull the key out and wait till the screen turns off and then key it back to on it will start up.. Don’t know if this is a normal function or not as this is my first ATV.

Local dealer won’t even give me an idea or anything unless I pay them 95$ so see if I can’t try to fix it myself

light bar fading

I added the 20 inch Cree light bar a while back. The wiring kit they sent was junk, it started flickering after 1 ride. So I cut the high beam and ground wire to the headlights (they are 16 gauge) and spliced the 12 gauge light bar wires into them. So I have had it running fine for 3 or 4 months with the 16 & 12 gauge running into a 16 gauge. Now when I turn the wheel it fades out, my guess is because the electric power steering taking battery power. So would changing the wires to run the 16 & 12 into a 18 gauge wire help this? How do you guys have your lightbars running with your headlight switch?

Where to buy a 450L?

Is there a large volume Can Am dealer in the SE part of the USA? Any where east of the Mississippi?

I have found Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Polaris ATV’s through large volume dealers that offer their units below MSRP with no dealer fees. Hoping there’s a Can Am dealer that can do this. Any suggestions?

New 500 XT noise

Hello, I have a new 500 XT two up with less then half hour on it. I noticed a noise coming from the left side when I start off, Kind of a clunking noise when I start off. From the sounds of it I’m thinking it’s the clutch slapping the belt.if that is what it is then can anyone tell me is that a common thing to expect Or should I be looking closer? It does seem to be coming from the left side.
Thanks for any ideas/comments!
