I have a 07 Outlander 800 that has started making more ticking sounds than I remember. I seem to have tracked it down to the rear cylinder, so I pulled the valve covers to check the valves and timing chains. I have been reading through threads, but not finding good full size pictures of what the chain and gears should look like if they are still in good shape. The chain doesn’t seem to be fully falling into the grooves on the gears, but this may be normal. Here are some pictures after setting the rear to TDC. Before doing this the chain was so loose on the non-tensioner side I could almost pull it off the gear.
I’ve read a lot about checking the guides to see if they are worn, but not sure what to look for other than obviously broken or plastic being worn away. I don’t see anything, but can’t seem them all that well.
Sounds like many go by the number of threads showing on the tensioner. Mine has 11 on the rear, and 9 on the front.
I don’t know if this has been talked about before, but for 2016 everything got bumped up in either power or displacement except the 650. Now with the introduction of the 570, there’s only a 80cc gap between the 570 and 650, I know, I’m good at math;) So my guess is that for 2017 the 650 will either be dropped completely, or bumped up to a 700. What do you think?

Everyone with 2016 XMRS needs to check to see if their antifreeze is leaking. Mine along with 13 other people I’ve talked to are having the same problem. It’s coming from the top of the cap on the coolant jug. Dealers are saying It’s a defect from can am.

Guys I have been looking all over ebay and amazon for a nice 14 inch Cree led light bar that comes with the side mounts and a wiring harness. I’m having the hardest time… very close to just buying a name brand. Help?
