Category Archives: Please Introduce Yourself

Hi from Australia

Hey guys. I’m just about to purchase my first Can-am ATV (a second hand 2010 outlander 800r XT-P with just over 100 hrs on it). The bike is basically stock, and is a great canvas for me to start on. I’m hoping to do pipe, clutch and tune on the bike eventually but that won’t be too soon.

I’ve been around quads for almost 10 years now, mainly race quads (yfz450s especially) but am finally deciding to move into something a little more usable. I will use the quad for fishing trips up the beach, camping and general riding. Hopefully it’ll work out well for me.

I’ll obviously be around reading bulk forum threads but will definitely post any questions I have when I think of them.

Cheers guys

800 Can-Am Outlander Max Limited 2 up

I have a 2010 Can Am Max, limited edition 2 up. My four wheeler has been nothing but trouble. I have had a warranty claim that the dealership was never able to fix. The water pump went out under warranty (they said that the antifreeze in the oil wouldn’t hurt it). The air suspension goes up and down when the motor gets hot. the dealer was never able to resolve. The 4 wheeler is on the 3rd stater and the dealer said that it looks like this one is going bad. Motor locked up on it and the dealer is unable to find anything wrong except that the crank looks to be a few thousandths of an inch out of spec. Can Am is refusing to repair the unit because it is now obviously out of warranty, never mind the fact that the issues that were reported under warranty were never resolved. Please be cautious as I have had very poor customer service with BRP. My 4 wheeler has been in the shop for 18 weeks and 3 days and BRP replied to me in an email today that I would have to pay for the repair. They do not even know what is wrong with the unit and they still haven’t resolved the complaints that were filled in 2012. I am very disgusted and have experienced the worse customer service ever. Polaris vehicles have been excellent and I have never had the issues that I have with Can-Am. Incompetent dealerships and poor customer relations with BRP specialist.:th_smiliepissed::tools1::th_smiliepull hair:
