How To: Install an 850w Upgraded Stator In Honey Badger X3 #canam #offroad
After losing voltage in the middle of no where in the mountains, we are finally upgrading the Honey Badger X3's stator and voltage regulator! In this video I will take you through the process and show you how to upgrade and/or replace your voltage regulator and stator on the 2017-2024 Can-Am Maverick X3. This is the upgraded one found on the 2021+ models that I'm installing on our 2018 XRS. Hope this helps someone out there!

"Smelled good so was gonna grab a bendy straw later" bro I thought I was only one who loved glycol 😂😂😂
Shoot dang man, that’s the 8th wonder of the world dude! 😂
@@thejourneyretold 😂😂😂
Iv had the motor out in a newer one then that once it got flooded had put new harnesses everything. Talk about a ordeal
Dude honestly that sounds like a serious nightmare
that all bad 😂
Yea she’s cooked lol
Probably an obvious guess, but the green stuff below is coolant, and it leaked out of the water pump that looked to be shot from your video.
Winner winner! Frustrating that the WP never weeped or anything to sign that it was going. Serp belt started to squeal intermittently for about 3 minutes before I heard a lot of bad sounds. I was wanting to get the rest of the gravel moved (like 5 scoops worth) and then I was going to investigate… guess I should’ve checked sooner 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
So many contractors need to hear this 😂
Agreed - they hurry through stuff and forget to think.
Also crazy that ST(Justin) sells these racks with the claim "maintenance free". Hardly the case...
Bigger thing that bothers me is that what got me to buy it was the “lifetime warrantee” he talked about in a video of it…but it doesn’t actually have a warrantee. Like I said, I still love it and would do it again, but it is indeed a LOT of maintenance…as is the rest of the X3 lol

The last time I sent a rack to ST for rebuild it came back with just as much slop as I sent it in with. Highly disappointed in STs rebuild. I will be doing my own rebuild next time.
I LOVE ST, but I feel like there is definitely room for improvement in some areas. The rebuild is really easy, just do it like every 1,000 miles or every year and it’ll be solid. The biggest thing is if you wait for it to get loose you’ve already lost. Once the grease inside gets gritty with dirt it’s like a valve lapping conpound and will really eat away at stuff so make sure she’s always fresh! Feel free to ask any questions when y rebuild it and I’ll be happy to help or talk ya through anything.
I've taken a Dodge dynasty down worse 🤦♂️
Badass!
I kinda agree, but skid loader - Operator - for the win.
Yea for sure - they all have their place. I just want the best of both worlds sometimes lol
This is hardly even an obstacle😂 he couldn’t driven down that in any direction and been fine
Even in reverse!
Normal..😂😅
Right?! Nothing to see here lol
It looks like that hose is rubbing . But I can't tell from the video
Turns out water pump bearing went out and sent the fan into the radiator. Frustrating because normally a failing water pump will weep first… this one definitely didn’t! lol oh well 🤦🏼♂️
Use a wobble joint or shorter extension.
Exactly what I did - wobbly FTW!
Did it work?
Checkout the full video - basically did a comparison test - I’m pretty shocked at the difference actually
Why are you using a extension?
Doesn’t reach otherwise, need an ext that’s a happy medium but no one makes a 1-3/4” one
I have over 15000 miles on my can am and still on the same brake lol 😆
That’s badass you use it so much!! I’m hoping to break the 10k mark this year!
Homie doesn't know how to improvise enough to be working on it if this is an actual video required problem.... bad mechanic... BAD... no tool for you!!
This is why I usually stick to either a hammer or duck tape….
I wish I had one to have that problem!
Would you upgrade the rear brakes too, or just save the money for something else? Thanks for watching!
Get a load of gravel brought in
Never thought about that - good thinking
Mud fight
Hahaha
Send it back. That wouldn't pass any slump tests. 😂😂😂
Lmao truth!
This comment literally made my day lol
You actually thought that skid would move a 40 by itself... Wouldn't even move a 20fter
Was curious if it would budge it or anything because I wasn’t sure if it was anchored in some way. But yes, it was a little heavy. Never had to move one and this one was garbage so figured we’d screw around a bit and learn lol
Bag it!
Unfortunately I didn’t listen to my gut to call it a day…I was not that wise. lol turned out to be a super nice day, but overall minimal progress was made. 🤦🏼♂️
To much talking
Thanks for the input - trying to get better at talking less!! 😎👍🏻
Do you stay busy with your skid steer business? I have been thinking about starting one in southern Oregon
Not right now - been slow AF since last year…. I would say wait until next year - THEN start. 😎👍🏻
@@thejourneyretold thanks I figured with the fire danger things would slow down
Not so much the fire danger, it’s the economy and people not having a lot of extra spending money because of the last few years of inflation. Usually the summer is your busiest time
@@thejourneyretold ok thanks for the info
Awesome video! Going into racing and didn’t realize how many regulations there are with the smallest things (2 inch clearance over your helmet is one I didn’t know about until your video)
Might try calling the manufacturer first and ask them if it's actually designed into it to relieve stress on the machine so the bucket fails before the boom does.
👍🏻😎
Can you film a demonstration?
Next time I can - had to hold my phone and couldn’t do it 1 handed.
Are you charging the customer while you are making video ?
lol seriously? 60 second video, at $120 an hour is $2… I think you’re missing the point here 😂 It’s a bid - whether I take 12 hours or 12 days price is the same. It’s the only way I can make sure I am not under a time crunch and I can stop and think about the best ways to do things. When you’re in a rush it’s never your best work.
@@thejourneyretold I only ask because I'm trying to gauge how many operators are spending time shooting video while charging T&M. Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately I have a feeling far too many. I don’t really like T&M because I always feel like I have to go as fast as possible because I try to save people money - then as you know, when you go fast mistakes happen…and sometimes those can be really bad. So I pay people by the hour because they’re incentivized to go slow - and slow is safer and easier on equipment. Little backwards from how most do it, but I sleep well at night so that’s good enough for me
@@thejourneyretold Back in the day some customers would pay us extra for getting photos or video of the job. I find it highly interesting to watch how multi-media blends with construction. We rarely took pictures, and the inspectors had to come out for every single inspection. Now it can all be done, from a phone. There are many positive aspects that come from so much documentation. If I wasn't retired I would charge about 250 - 500 for a video of a decent size remodel. There's a niche..
Got it. So make the pothole bigger first. Understood.
Bingo
People bitch and complain about the right way not being fast in the moment, but it’s faster in the long-run.
110% and it’s cheaper too!
@@thejourneyretold amen
Now if you could only teach the DOT crews that.
lol dude seriously right?!??
They do what they can with what they’re given. You’d be surprised how difficult they make it to fix roads.
@mikeznel6048 the amount of paperwork and legal stuff alone is insane.
What did you do about the steering shaft bolts? I had to switch from 8mm bolt to 1/4. I tried for hours before giving in to using 1/4 bolt and a tiny bit of slop
What steering shaft bolts? The pinch bolt at the bottom of the steering shaft where it goes onto the splined shaft of the ST rack? I just use an OEM one there
I put it in the dash by mistake and now it says check key so I don't know what to do now
I did the same - put a cigarette lighter / 12v outlet there and just zip tie the key/key receiver under the dash. It’ll work great. 👍🏻😎
@@thejourneyretold I tried it but it doesn't turn on it keeps saying the same check key
I wonder if the electrical connector came unplugged? Where is the key mounted at now? Go on the MaverickForun and make a post in the X3 section asking about it - it’ll be a lot easier because you can post pics too
hey, well, this same dash and it doesn't turn on, how could you turn it on, I need help, please.
Where is your key mounted? Is it in the dash?
That’s a good idea. Crazy what you think of when every second counts.
Literally this would’ve been the difference between 5th and 7th at our last race if we could’ve saved 1min off each fill up! lol so I had to come up with something! October is the next race so we will test is out! 👍🏻😎
Are you able to keep the OEM wheels with the Wilwood upgrade? Thx
I’m not sure - I honestly doubt it. If you go online you should be able to find a wheel fitment guide though.
Thank you
What mower head is that?
US MOWER - EX60 - works awesome!

Are you running stock master cylinder and brake lines?
Yup correct
Why did you replace your kryptonite ball joints for keller ball joints?
Actually I only did the bottom ones because they came with the lower control arms I bought. The uppers are still kryptonite because they’re a nightmare to replace. So even though the boots are still broken, I just grease them after each ride with 1-2 pumps of fresh grease and clean up the old. So far I’ve got 1500-2000 miles like this and they’re still going strong. Once I get a chance I’ll replace them with the Keller ones though because those are so easy to rebuild
Thanks for this, it really helped us out.
Glad it helped! It’s long but I tried to be thorough. Most people hate these racks, but with care they last a LONG time. So far I’ve got 5,000 miles on mine and she feels like new!
They're not rebuilt, they're replaced ball joint big difference.
I replaced the wear items - this typically constitutes a rebuild - I didn’t replace the housing and cap etc like I would’ve with a full replacement
Awesome video! Do you know if they will clear the stock rims?
Definitely not the stock 14’s, but I think the XRC comes with 15s and if that’s what you have then they MIGHT. But best to look on their site for wheel figment :)
I dig it!!!
Same! Just the right sound!
We have the same ball joints in ours. I put them in our factory arms when it was new, have since transferred them to the S3 arms. One less thing to have to worry about during the race. A quick pump of grease during race prep is a good trade off for piece of mind!
They’re definitely worth the money IF you’re going to be hard on things - OR if you just want to ensure it’s one less thing to fail! I just wish they were less maintenance…then again I’ve been known to go a little overboard on caring for things lol
@@thejourneyretold Ive got 3 races and 2 wheeling trips on them, took them apart to check on them, original grease I put in still looked great. I am also bad about over maintenance on things haha. my wheel bearing get greased after ever race/ride, and my oil gets changed after every race!
@ApexOverland where are you racing at?? Always looking for more places to go have fun!
@@thejourneyretold Its in the CORS series here on the east coast
Thanks dude
You bet man - this dash is seriously awesome and probably my favorite modification yet! lol
Good thing nobody was coming the other way
Agreed
Is that the road to love lake?
Honestly idk where that is? 🤷🏼♂️
