sooo my kid put the water hose in my muffler. And filled her up. Now water in oil. What do I need to check besides the obvious water I have in my oil now. Bike turned over and idled fine after it pushed about a glass of water out of exhaust. Looks like I’m doing plenty of oil changes tomorrow after work. Anywhere else I need to check.

Figured I would share my build I started in the fall of 2014, as any project it will never be complete.
I purchased a bone stock used 2012 outlander 800xt with just over 1000km on the speedo. Attachment 27101Attachment 27102

First mod before riding was a SPI slip-on pipe, excellent slip-on and very pleased with it, looks great and sounds awesome.

First mods was to make it look like a 800xmr with the brp rad relocate and snorkel kit, also at the same time installing fox podium XXC shocks, highlifter MGC a-arms and extended trailing arms. Best way getting to know a new machine is taking it all apart :)Attachment 27104Attachment 27105

So I have just about reached my 10 hr service mark and was going to get the oils needed that I will be changing. However, I noticed in the 2015 Can-Am Outlander manual it states that I should use 75w140 gear oil, but in their sales catalog it says that is for the side-by-side and to use 75w90 in ATV’s. I have a 2015 Can-Am Outlander 800 XT. I am just wondering which oil to purchase and figured I would check here, even though I’m sure my dealer will be able to help me out once I get there later this afternoon.

Thank you for your help!

Looking for any opinions, good or bad, on Michaels Reno Powersports or Michael’s Cycle Works to have dealer maintenance performed i.e., valve I/A, CVT I/C/L, etc.

Hey guys I get a 2014 XT was wondering if anyone knows where the brake light switch connector is. was at the dealer had a tuner pipe installed and had all the brakes done and now I know I don’t have brake lights and when I’m in gear and hold the breakdown I can no longer override to start any help would be helpful if not I’ll bring it back to the dealer. Thanks.

When riding around the yard I’ve noticed that the suspension seems very stiff. Sharp turns, even at low speed will lift the opposite back tire clear off the ground. I know the springs are adjustable but can’t seem to find documentation on the proper method of adjustment. I’m assuming I would want to allow more travel.

I’ve only noticed this since I’ve taken the plow off so I’m assuming the previous owner stiffened it up the account for the weight of the plow.

This is on a 2009 Max 800R XT.

Just got a free 1 but not sure how I want it mounted?

Odd question… Does anybody happen to have a picture of how the handheld winch controller goes back into the front cover? Took mine out over the winter to re-spool new cable on the winch and now that it’s warmed up I can’t, for the life of me, remember how it was in there before I used it.

When to use "H" or "L"? I know this is a rookie question but i want to know from people who know and haved used these ATVs. I have only used my ATV for plowing so far but am planning a trip soon so i want to be sure i’m using the right gear.
