Renegade 800 High Idle

Hi guys, have a 2013 Renegade 800 with high idle issues. Had some cams installed and ran it for a while with a programmer that wasn’t mapped properly so it idled terribly low but middle and top end were good. Got a new programmer installed with air fuel ratio gauge and ran it for about an hour and everything was perfect. Idled nicely and was running awesome. Put it away for the night and went to ride it the next day and now it idles very high. Played with the programmer with negative results. Runs 1500-1750 rpm and idles down after about 20 seconds. Tap the throttle in the smallest bit and it revs right back up again. It’s at the dealer now and they are going to start messing with it. Good fuel pressure. Any thoughts? IACV? Throttle body dirty? One thing I will mention is I had it tuned with the first programmer and the place I took it to played with the idle adjustment which is a big no no for the can ams. They couldn’t adjust it properly so set it back where it was to begin with so they say. Could that have anything to do with it? A new throttle body is pretty pricey and the dealer said they will try that after the Idle Air Control valve which I’m not looking forward to if that is the issue. Any help would be great. Thanks, Chris.

Coolant

Hey – So I researched this topic but I don’t see the answer I’m looking for, I’ll apologize in advance if I missed it.

I just bought a new Grizzly and I want to have some coolant/antifreeze on hand. I see the owners manual says to use ethylene glycol, but it seems as if it’s harder to get than polypropylene glycol. With that being said, I’m just curious what everyone is using, is it okay to just use the Prestone stuff that says it works with everything or should I be using something specific? I don’t want to add the wrong thing. Thank you in advance.

Squeaking in EBS system?

As I let off the throttle and the engine breaking kicks in there is a low pitched squeaking as the machine is coming to a stop. Is this normal? It sounds almost the same as the squeaking from the break pads when I use the hand break (rarely). Just want to make sure something isn’t wearing out of adjustment.

Now that I’m used to it I really like the EBS but hoping it won’t need extra service down the road. Previous machine(2007 450) needed nothing till 7000 miles/1000 hrs. Hard farm use.

vaporlock

I have a 2015 850 touring, Riding the trails yesterday it started cutting out and backfiring started towing it out until tow unit had batt trouble, got it started and ran it wide open and made it up all the hills. Shut it off to help fix other rig and when restarted it would not go and finished by towing in. When I got home it started and revved up like nothing wrong. would this be a vapor lock issue or a injector plugged up

Outlander Service Questions

Hello. My 2016 Can-am Outlander is due for the 25hr service. A few questions.
1. Do I have to take to a Can-Am Dealer? I live about 50 miles from the nearest can-am dealer and 100 miles from the dealer I bought it at, so we thinking of taking to a nearby shop.
2. How many of you do your own service? I wouldn’t mind doing it myself, however is there a manual or something that will help me do this type of service?

Initially I think I will take in for my first service as I noticed lately when I step up onto the outlander it makes a clunking sound. I don’t hear it when riding only upon mounting and dismounting.
