Hello all….just just wanted to say hey and had a couple questions…i recently purchased 2 can-am outlander L 450’s with dps…
my business uses them for work soil testing in fields..mainly corn and soybean fields…we currently have 13 polaris sportsman 500’s and a polaris xp550 and are going to try a couple different machines…the main questions i had were about maintenance…the fields are always dusty and the bikes tend to suck alot of dirty air in them hence the need to change air filters often….i noticed the oem can-am filters are anywhere from 40 to 50$$$ i thought about changing to a k&n filter after the first filter change…i’ve used them in cars and trucks with no probs but was wondering if anyone had experience with them in the can-am’s??? i think as long as you kept them clean and oiled properly they should be ok??
next is about oil and filters…since we have quite a few bikes i have been using shell rotella t6 5w-40 synthetic in the sportsmans and usually wix filters…any advice for a new owner for oil and filters would be appreciated….i will post some pics when done…currently adding soil sample boxes,gps equip,fire ext and computer equip along with some fabricated parts to add on…bike are brand new with no miles yet other than short test rides…thanks and hope to get some good use out of the can am’s..
