07 Outlander 650 Max XT cam/timing chain and head gasket issue

I have a buddy working on my 07 Outlander 650 he said it’s making a funning sound when idling. He also thinks it might need head gaskets.

I did a little reading and it sounds like there was an issue with the timing/cam cam chains and guides on the 07 and older 650s. What exactly needs to be replaced to fix this problem?

He also thinks it might need head gaskets. I was having a little over heating problem that we think was caused by the fan not coming on. I think we’ve got that worked out but when it was running it with the rad cap off he said it would bubble for a few seconds every few minutes. To him this points to the head gasket. Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks

Dave

570 backfiring,popping

Here is my problem,if i am cruising sometimes the engine is misfiring and popping.
Full throttle,no problem at all,the time you let the throttle go it gives you this popping sound from the muffler.
The same downhill,but not all the time.
My Dealer like to convince me all of the 570′ engines are doing this.
He told me try other fuel,same result.
No codes,nothing.
What is your experience?

Busco Beach

Hey GC!!! Myself and a few friends are going to Busco Beach in Goldsboro, NC on 4/29-5/1. Just throwing it out there if anyone is interested in meeting up. FYI, that weekend is their Mud Bash for 2016.

common problem to expect for 15-16 1000r

I searched around a bit and didn’t find much on the 15-16 models. im back shopping again and I know the 16s have new motors and I am gonna try my best to buy a 1000 outlander as that is my first choice machine to buy.

do they have the hot leg problems still?
has can-am put better brakes on em yet?
is there a common problem people are running into?

spending 13,000.00 for a quad is a insane amount of money for me to spend I don’t want to buy something that is going to need upgrades right away to make it reliable. I will be running 27 or 28 inch bearclaw htr tires. my last quad was a 2012 bf750 that was 100% problem free. any info yall can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Gremlin??? Should I be concerned?

Ok so if anyone watches the news Texas and more specifically Houston…was hit by massive floods saturday/sunday. Well I took the bike out for a ride to the back of my subdivision to monitor the bayou that backs up to my house. I stayed out of almost all high water and nothing really above the floorboards. No joke I go through way worse at the mud parks than what I went through.

So as the wife and I were pulling back into the driveway I noticed the check engine light kick on. Never felt any change, sputter, stall…anything…I cycled through to the check engine popped up on the display and that’s all it showed (no codes). So I pulled it into the garage and got out the shop manual to see what I needed to do to pull the codes. Needless to say I could not find that section in the manual so I hopped on google.

Looks like if I read correctly that I am a bit screwed. If you shut off the bike then the code is lost is what I read. It has to be in the same ignition power up or whatever you wish to call it (power cycle?). So I tried to start it up backed it up and down the driveway…no light…

Should I be concerned? Is there a way to pull that code? How would you proceed from here?

Thanks in advance for any and all help.
