New to Can Am

Hey, new guy here, but not new to ATV’s. Snooping around to see what I can learn about the Outlander Max.

My ATV wants In a perfect world:

1) 2 up
2) Camo color
3) EPS
4) No struts
5) Turf mode rear
6) No belt

I can get the first 4 items in the Can Am. I can get 1,2,3, and 5 in Polaris. I can get #2,3,4,and 6 in Honda

My ATV history:

2001 Polaris Sportsman 500 HO-one of the best they ever built
2003 Honda Rincon-sold to get the 2006 Rincon
2004 Sportsman 700 carb-very solid machine just sold because I hate the struts and tank like feeling
2006 Honda Rincon-VERY nice machine. Doesn’t do anything wrong, but pretty lackluster performance
2007 Ranger XP700-decent-sold for
2013 Ranger 900- VERY nice machine overall if you can get past al the Polaris crudeness

Hi everyone, I just picked up my first Can am, its a 09 outlander 800. I’m a machinist by trade and always love to come up ideas for something new to make for it. The frame mod is next. Read a lot about it on this site just have to decide what gage tubing i’ll go with. Im looking forward to see how it compares to my 09 Bruteforce 750.

New Can Am Owner

Hi! My name is Ed from Anaheim, California. I purchased a Can Am Outlander 650XT (2015 model) last Sept 4, 2015. I used it when I went hunting in Northern Calif 3rd Sat of Sept. Although I was not able to get a buck, I enjoyed riding my atv. The only thing my fellow hunters said that my atv was noisy, like a tank rolling by. I will probably have to install a silencer to reduce the noise. I am thinking of getting the kolpin brand. Any suggestions from anyone would be very helpful.

Hello everyone, my name is Jason and I can’t wait to see how great this forum is. I plan on joining the Can-Am family in the spring and I’m thinking about either a 570xmr or a 650 xmr (98% set on the 650).
My father has a 15′ 800 max, brother has a 15′ 800xmr and a buddy has a 14′ 650xmr and they all LOVE their bikes.

Cheers!
