- It's been 1and a half years since I bought this 2016 monster, tune in and see it it's worth buying one of these machines! I give a brutally honest no Bull Review on it how it's held up thru all the rides I've put it thru...would I buy another one?

Probably one of the best, straight forward reviews I’ve seen on a machine. Have a brute now , but I think one of these is in my future! Keep up the great videos 🤙🏻
The Brute's are awesome machines and very reliable but still can't compete with the Big XMR's! I loved by Brute but really love the power of this machine! Glad you enjoyed the vid, thanks for watching Rob!
Thanks for the great lengthy video describing like every single thing on your rig. really excellent video
Thanks Man! Glad you liked it!
Excellent review , every issue you talked about I had with my outty too
Thanks Man! It's definitely an eye opener and lets people know what they might expect and an idea what to look for! Happy Trails!
Nice! Thanks for giving your honest feedback!
Thanks Man! Your welcome, glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for tuning in!
Right on man, good review! I'm still a Honda guy, but the sound of those Can Ams sure are hypnotising lol. Cheers!
Thanks Man! Whatever works for you is the best one! Seems that more problems are surfacing with the Can Am as I go! LOL! Thanks for tuning in!
Great video. Very glad you are honest. The Mrs and I gave it some thought but I think we are going to stick with the brute for now. At least until it's time for a sxs.
The Brutes are nice reliable machines if you're trail riding, can't go wrong there! Thanks for watching Jay!
Good review 👍👍, just shared your video with a friend who just bought a 850 xmr.
Cool, thanks! Hope he has a blast with it! Thanks for watching Man!
Great review man, keep it up! Cheers from South Dundas Ontario
Thank you and thanks for tuning in! Happy Trails!
I just bought a 2019 850 XMR. I'm glad I got to check out this review now I know the pros and cons of my ride and what to look out for. Gonna pull rear drive shaft and definitely check that phasing. Great video 👍
Congrats on the new ride! Let'r rip...well, after you break her in properly! :-) Glad the vids helped you out, hope you don't run into all the problems that I've had but at least you know about them! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the awesome review, I'm thinking of getting a 19 xmr or a Polaris highlifter 850.. more towards the Polaris after all the major problems.
All depends on what you use it for...the Reliability will suffer on either machine when you use it like I do. If it's just for trails, I'd go with the XT Can Am or something like that. It'll handle some mud too. Good luck with your purchase Cortlen!
Rob Farrow ATV so if it’s just for trails the machine will suffer more?
Great job on the review. keep up the good work
Thanks Wayne!
Nice honest video Rob, she's been a good bike for you, Still looks great too!
Yep, still having fun on her! Few more upgrades this winter and then hopefully an awesome year of riding! Thanks for tuning in Maritimer!
If u like the Fiskers blade,(Canadian Tire?) u would love their loppers. I carry both, and the loppers will cut small alders up to 2" in diameter. As for the blade...man super sharp, also work great and have chopped small trees in trails when I forgot my chain saw. Good review, Cheers
Thanks for the tip Trevor! Ya, I have no room for a chainsaw, unfortunately! Thanks for checking the video out!
Rob, I just used DEI titanium exhaust wrap, all the way to 4-6” from muffler and used their adhesive floor and pan foil heat block, it cut the exhaust temps in 1/2 or more‼️
After running to when fan is kicking on I can touch the heat shield (by left thigh) with my bare hand and before it would give you a 3rd degree burn.
Worth doing when you have it apart. It cost about $105 bucks or so. Just FYI
Thanks for the info, might try that next time I have it apart! Thanks for watching Man!
Good update Rob I just bought the 2018 Can Am 850 xmr last October hopefully they addressed some of the issues that you had with your 2016 haven't had to many opportunities to ride it as its been way to cold.
Thanks John! Way too cold and snowy up here to ride, been a long winter so far, more to come unfortunately! I believe they addressed some of the problems which is nice to see! Thanks for checking the video out!
Thanks for the video keep up the great work
Thanks Mason! A nice Skeg ride coming up starting next week! Thanks for watching!
Great review I know how hard it is to talk about the cons and issues with a bike you spent over $15,000 on
Thanks Luke! It's been a pain with all the issues I've had with it...some have been from hard riding but most have been will the BRP design. I think they have addressed a number of the issues in recent years on that model.
Nice run through you sure got it cleaned up all nice lol guess in spring i need do bit that maintenance myself its time.
Thanks Man! She looks good once in awhile! ;-) Maintenance is the key to not having break downs in the bush...although it still happens! LOL! Thanks for watching!
Appreciate the video. Decided to stick with another Brute Force or Honda on my next purchase.
Loved my Brute Force! Would've bought a Brute again if they had made a Mud Ready 850! Happy Trails!
Great honest review bud
Thanks Job and thanks for tuning in!
I've watched this probably 5 times now, along with ALL the others, visited a dealer here in Alberta the other day, and I think you've sold me Rob... Putting a deposit down on a 2019 Sunburst Yellow 850 XMR! Already have some modifications planned!
That's awesome! Good luck on your purchase! Happy Trails Man and thanks for tuning in!
Great video!!! I also have the 850xmr and i've blown my rear diff twice already!!! I think the problem with them leaking is the cheap ass wear ring over the driveshaft yoke. What i have done to stop water and mud from getting in is i installed a stainless steel redi-sleeve over a new wear ring. Part#99149 from Amazon. The sleeve doesn't get the grooves worn into it from the pinion seal. I also installed a new pinion seal when i put the sleeve on. I've got over 1000 miles on it and no leaks!!! I still change diff oil every 3 rides depending on how much water i ride through. You should try it!!!
Oh yeah, one more thing. I also filled the space between the double lips on pinion seal with marine grease.
Cool, sounds like it's working for ya! Can't believe you've blown 2 rear diffs, yikes! I'm still waiting for this one to go but I'm still changing the oil every ride, so it may take awhile! LOL! Thanks for the advice and for tuning in!
In great shape considering what she's been through. BRP makes a great machine.
Thanks, I try to keep up on the repairs and maintenance on it! Thanks for watching man!
This was a great review and it helped be a lot.
Glad it helped Philip! Happy Trails!
@@RobFarrowATV Thanks Man!
Great review, my friend! I'm still till gonna get an Outlander one day! LOL One difference I've found in a Renegade vs an Outlander is the ease of access on a lot of stuff. It's a lot easier to get to stuff to work on it with a Renegade!
Thanks Broknex! Never worked on a Rene before. Have to try one some day, never riden one either! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing nice vid 👍
Glad you liked it Ruben!
Nice review. Thanks for shar'in !!
Thanks Gunny, appreciate that! Thanks for tuning in! Happy Trails...snowy ones for you! ;-)
I agree the 74lb/ft seems excessive. I just got wheels and tires for my 2014 800 xt and I torqued to 50 lb/ft which seems like plenty. thanks for the video
Ya, I'm running mine at 51 now and haven't had an issue. Thanks for tuning in Scott! Happy Trails!
thank you for the great videos
Your welcome! Glad you are enjoying them!
Great video review Rob. I like the mirror idea for checking if your Go Pro is on. Everything you said is spot on except the axles are not made by Gorilla, they are a stronger axle though then the standard BRP axle.
Thanks for the correction Shawn! Glad you enjoyed it! Been working on improving all the downfalls of the machine...still need to deal with the rear diff though! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Rob Farrow ATV Wish I could offer you some advise on the rear diff but aside from The addition of the bellows not much I can add.
I'm thinking of biting the bullet and just get the Mud'n Wheels diff...save me a lot of grief in the long run!
Rob Farrow ATV Buy the billet rear diff! Last one you’ll ever need!
Great review 👌
Thanks Man, glad you liked it! Thanks for tuning in!
so at 3tkms she looks pretty nice- good quality build- and a little maintainance helps too- nice! good done rob- like the machete btw ;- ()
Thanks Man! Has held up really well for the riding I do but has had some "Factory" issues that needed to be addressed as well as regular maintenance! Thanks for watching!
evry ride has it- even some people wont believe- the arctic cats i drive have also some- you gotta check and sort them out- no problem....;-)
Great honest video!! Glad I went with a Kingquad....
Thanks Tommy! Happy Trails!
Great review Rob. I do like my 2015 1000 max. Also agree about the gearbox drain. What the heck is the drain plug out the side for?. I might trim the plastic also to make the clutch cover easier to remove cause it is a wrestling match to get the floor boards off. Kind of getting the trick for it though. My Dalton kit works great so far too and no smoked belts but I am carefull and leave it in low when tough going. You have a lot more miles on than me but not as many trails down south here so I mostly ride Haliburton in the summer so a lot of rocks and some mud. I needed more ground clearance so I put on 1 inch spring spacers. Same stock brakes for me but they are almost due for replacing so I will try something aftermarket and not Can am for pads. Ever try Pledge furnature polish on black plastic?. lemon smell though lol! It works great for me and if it gets wet does not leave the white streaks like tire foam does. I still tire foam the under wheel wells though.
Awesome, the 1000 must really rip! Never tried Pledge but I have heard people use it, I just use a tire spray and not the foam type, works well. Happy Trails Rob and thanks for checking the video out!
Just bought a king quad. Wont buy a can-am again. Love your videos by the way
Thanks Man! Glad you are liking the vids! Congrats on the King Quad, happy trails!
how come?
@@atvpunisher51 he must like the no power feel. I have a kingquad 750 2019, wifes got a grizzly 700 2021, daughter has xt 570 2020, the Yamaha smokes me, and the can am, smokes the Yamaha. I cant evan have a dream of keeping up with either of them and I've got more cc's,,,kingquad is in the same category as honda on the power,
I'm 8:38 in and I've changed my mind on getting one. I'll watch the rest of the video anyway. Think I'll just get a grizzly or something. I mean I ain't hurting for money but I ain't gonna buy something that needs upgrades out the gate. I guess grizzlies or rubicons or something like that is reliable and plenty good
They may be reliable but the Can Am power is the best out there. The machines are only as good as you treat them. If you run them thru mud and the terrain we have around here hard, they will all break...just depends on what you use them for and how hard you ride them.
So, why would can am make an atv that is made for mud, but clutch won't hold up and belt won't hold up on mud which is what it is made for? Doesn't seem like I would pay that much for an atv and still have to mod it to make it run right.
How did you attach the fiskars machete ? Im waiting for my bike to come in tommorow so I'll rfigure it out then but just want an idea before I do it
It's attached with tie wraps or snap ties as some call them...I wanted it to be temporary and it hasn't come off yet, so works well! Thanks for checking out the vid!
Great review Rob. I really like a couple of ideas you had like the dash screen protector and shaving the floor plastic to get cv box off..... I've been hearing Royal Purple having issues lately. I personally have never used it but you should look into it.... What!! you don't like the look of the Renegade? Ha, now you're gonna ruffle some Renegade feathers. lol..
Rene's have feathers? LOL! Thanks Frankie! Ya, I'm always wiping mud of the dash screen, so better the protector get messed up! Thanks for checking the video out!
Great video bud I love my quad so does my wife we have 2 where abouts in Ontario are you we should go for a ride soon
I'm in Northwestern Ontario. Glad you like the video, Happy trails!
Hey Rob, love the informative videos, we just bought a ‘17 XMR 850, with 125 miles on it, few days ago, so far really like it, I like how you talk about all the corks, we will be riding it moderately, but you never know
I wanted to ask where the bumper ends came from and your skid plates, I wasn’t sure if the skids are OEM or not? Also I was shocked at how hot Can Am runs these, it pushes a lot of heat! I see some cut out under the fan, and/or run tuners to mix better instead of so lean, that’s something else I’d be interested in knowing about‼️
Take care, much appreciate the time you spend on the vids.
Nice, congrats on the purchase! Yeah, they run hot, lot of heat from the pipe. I run an EJK Tuner that's tuned for the bike from where you buy the tuner and have an SPI slip-on pipe. Was trying to find the quietest pipe but it's still pretty loud. The tuner helps the part with running lean but the bike still runs pretty hot! Just watched dried up grass on top of the pipe heat shield, it can catch fire! The Bumper Caps are from ArrowATV.com and are well worth the money...skid plates are from Ricochet and are pretty pricey. If you ride smart and don't run a lot of big rock areas, you might not need any and can get away with the stock setup. They do add a lot of weight to the ATV...currently I've taken them off, easier to clean up and access drain plugs and such! Thanks for tuning in!
Rob Farrow ATV thanks Rob for the reply and helpfulness. I’d say I at least want to cover A arms and possibly the differential? Logs and stumps are my worry where we ride. I’ve seen so many XT and Xmr’s missing those bumper ends, it’s a good investment. My wife and I are looking for years of service out of her, I’m a solid Honda guy of 45+ yrs. riding and owning over 140 bikes, and still own quite a few, the Can Am Xmr is in a class of itself. Hoping it will be close to the ‘bulletproofness’ as Honda. I keep my stuff in meticulous care the best I can.
Happy trails and safe riding, I’m going to watch your videos as I get time, and enjoy your thorough information!
Rob Farrow ATV bummer, that ArrowAtv.com site is down, for the bumper ends.🙄
Still down eh, he had some issues with the web site. His name is Steve Buckner on Facebook (Fire truck avatar). Thanks!
Rob Farrow ATV thanks Rob!
Couple questions where can I find or what do you use for a complete shop manual for the bike?
And I noticed you have halos (angel eyes) on the quad, what brand do you recommend?
I’ve tried to contact TricLED, but no answers, and certainly don’t want junk either China or elsewhere..
Happy trails👍
Hey Rob what was your thoughts on this?
Yea diff got to have a zombie apocalypse weapon on hand lol great review bro
LOL! Ya, never know! Thanks for watching Corey!
Rob Farrow ATV always bro lol
I just got a 2017 canam outlander xt 850. Damn that transmission drain bolt location!!!!!!!!!
LOL! It is a pain isn't it! You'd think they'd make it easier to access but maybe they wanted it that way so you'd bring it in! LOL! Congrats on the new machine, happy Trails Aaron!
One would think so! I still removed my footwell and got it done. Not terrible, obviously but pretty silly. I fully agree, they want you to bring it in. Not this guy. I've done both diffs, the gearbox/transmission, and oil/filter. Just over 550 miles on it now, 58 hours. I picked it up with 489 miles on it. Fully greased it too, those upper A-arms are a stupid to grease too... oh well. Thanks!
Guess Ill buy another yamaha. Thanks for an honest review finally.
LOL! Your welcome! I think it depends on how hard you ride them, they all have their faults! Good luck!
Does the performance out weigh the issues that you have brought up? Is the fun you have worth the extra maintenance
Definitely! It's been running great this year...knock on wood! Not much in the way of extra maintenance, just the normal stuff that everyone should be doing...can be the difference between finishing the ride or getting towed out! Thanks for tuning in Man!
The longer the video went on the more the factory build problems become apparent. I understand user error ( mudding, dogging your machine etc...) however shifter linkage, structural bushing knock and rear differential failure.... These are straight off the show room floor problems that shouldn’t happen on a regular basis for a $15,000 plus machine. My synopsis of this video is that Can Am needs to allocate more funds for there research and development department before allowing the consumer to buy a problematic machine. If you take note...all of the outsourced items Rhino Axles, handlebar switch’s, Fox Shocks just to name a few are solid because those particular companies do research and testing. Where as the Can Am designed features fail on a consistent basis. Honestly it seems a bit criminal for the Can Am Corporation to sell a product they know isn’t ready for field use.
Thanks for your input Man! I believe Can Am did address a couple of problems and fixed them in the 2018 model, so it's a step in the right direction...Thanks for tuning in!
I hope thows rivers come with it nice bro
You know it!
Makes me want to buy the King Quad instead of the outlander lol. King quad is just change ride and do maintenance per interval. Not per ride.
I was thinking the outlander max XT-P for hill climbing and trail riding but watching this, now I’m leaning towards the king quad. I like my maintenance but holy smokes I don’t want to spend 50/50 time on the trail and in the shop. I want 95/5 lol
The King Quad is a decent machine. I preferred the Kawi Brute Force though. This machine has tons of power, way more than the Brute or King. All depends on how you ride them, ride then rough and you will break stuff. Ride them nice and they will usually not break! Good luck with your choice and thanks for checking the vid out!
I completely wore out the factory brakes down to the steel in 500 miles....crazy
Yep! They say they have better pads now...have to try them again I guess. Every different pad I've tried last about the same. Thanks for watching!
where did you get the fiskars machette with the latch system
Canadian Tire store
3 Can Am's not one broken stud. I run then in with an impact. Couple blaps and they've been great.
Good to hear you have no issues!
Nice video thx
Thanks Terrance! It hasn't gotten much better with the XMR...must've gotten a lemon! LOL! Thanks for watching!
Wow...just did a search for "Can Am XMR 1000 problems", and looked at sources that were not fan boy sites. These things fall apart, and Can Am gives the finger on warranty. Check out the 1.7 avaerage rating on Consumeraffairs rating, full of frustrated buyers. I think I'll stick with my Grizzly...I have enough headaches, and don't like setting my money on fire ;)
Nice video man, Ive been looking to buy an XMR 850 for weeks now, the one I customized is about $12,050, this really helped! And can I ask you where you got that snorkel kit?
$12,753***
Snorkel came from "Snorkel Your ATV .com" but I've had so many issues trying to keep it steady. Finally took it all apart and came up with my own design and it's pretty solid now. Took a lot of work though! Good luck on your purchase and thanks for commenting!
Polaris 850 SP or Can Am Outlander? I'm on the fence about which one to get...
Are You going new? The newer Can Am doesn't have as many problems apparently...I don't know too much about the Polaris but they've had some issues also. Depends on what kind of riding you do also...I really like the Can Am, lots of power despite the few problems I've had but also mines an XMR and I use it in deep skeg and mud, so the parts are put to the test...if you're just trail riding with a bit of mud then the Outlander's probably a good choice! But like I said, I don't know a lot about the Polaris, so I'm a bit biased! LOL! Good luck with your purchase and thanks for tuning in John!
me too but i will probably go Polaris.Better trail machine with better suspension.Can Ams rear end have tendency to bounce of ground
What screen protector do you use on the display?
I just bought a Tablet screen protector and cut it to fit...works well! Thanks for checking the vid out Stephen!
That’s great thanks for the reply
Nice review any experience with rotopax gas cans?
Thanks Man! No, haven't tried the rotopax yet, not sure where I would mount it. Thanks for checking the vid out James!
I am in the middle of buying a 2016 because I do not like the all-red of the 2018 s and I heard there's a recall on the rear diffs you should call your local dealer
Thanks for the heads up dylan, I'll have to check into it! Welcome to the Can Am Monster Club! Thanks for tuning in!
Rob Farrow ATV she'll be my first XMR but iv had a few Can ams gotta love that power!
So how much have you spent on repairs and replacing stuff?
LOL! I don't keep a count...scared to know the amount! LOL!
I have a 12 foreman 500 I dont do any mud rides like the molson fellas do but other than brakes 1 x oil changes coolant plug light bulb and diff flush and tires . That's all in 7 years. 4100 miles on it
Hey rob I also have a 850 xmr like urs have had the same problem with the rear diff I have changed out the seal twice in the 2,000 miles I have put on it brakes are shitty as well upgraded those to a tusk brand we don't have a hole lot of mud where I am from but has done very well for everything I have put it thru trails, rocks ,mud &snow she is a beast ! Thanks for the videos bud
Nice Man, fun machine! Shame about the rear diff but not much we can do about it except maybe change it out for something better! Thanks for tuning in!
BRP upgraded the design of the XMR rear diff. for 2017. The dealer replaced mine under warranty with 185 miles on it because it was filling with water every ride. The housing is completely different than what originally came on my 2016.
The new design has a small cast block by the vent tube.
Old p/n 705502178, 705502090
New p/n 705502546
Here's a link to the canampartsguy site, they have the new diff on back order. You can see the block I'm talking about in their pictures.
canampartsguy.com/product/new-xmr-rear-differential/?v=00dc5da36527
Rob Stop it...(nice name! LOL!) Ya I got screwed on my warranty by the Dealer, I was told when I bought the machine that they only offered 6 month warranty on the XMR's and during the 6 months, anytime it mentioned an issue, they said Not covered! They aren't a Can Am Dealer anymore! Good to know BRP changed things around on the read Diff! Thanks for the link and thanks for tuning in!
I always get confused what is the difference between xmr and xxc ?
XMR has the relocated rad, lower gearing, bigger axles, bigger tires and is snorkelled to the dash cowling. Maybe a couple other little things but that's about it for the difference. Thanks for watching!
@@RobFarrowATV now i get it so xmr it's basically a mud machine modiffied by can am. Thanks 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Yep!
Great video can you tell me if i go with the 1000 it will be a good choice?
Couldn't tell you if it has the issues that the 850 has but if you like the longer frame and a little more power or are looking to ride two up then it's a good bike! Thanks for tuning in Mario!
Thanks to you make good video did you need special puuler to install your Dalton clutch kit
Nope, not for the Dalton Kit, secondary comes off easy and only the first part of the Primary needs to come off...usually with a little tap from a rubber mallet. You won't need a puller unless you are taking off the rest of the Primary to put a full clutch on!
Ok did you think the Polaris 850 High lifter will be good as yours
I heard there was alot of weak spots on the High Lifter but I can't confirm that!
I don't feel so bad now..changed the rear seal last year on mine and noticed in the cold it is now seeping again.
That's sad! Too bad but it seems that just changing the seals doesn't correct the problem! I don't really want to drop another 1200 bucks or so on a rear diff right now but I'm beginning to think I don't have any choice in the matter! Hope you get yours sorted out easily! Thanks for checking the video out Cubbee!
I wonder if a different brand of seal would work?
I have the Mud'n Wheels Seals that I was gonna try but I think there's more to it with the pinion...might rip it all apart and see if I can mess it up more to see what's not sitting properly! LOL! If your pinion ring isn't toast yet, you might get away with just the Mud'n Wheels Seals!
Good to know! Let us know how you make out.
If your pinion yoke is worn (it probably is, they wear fast) press a "speedy sleeve" on it. There are a few threads on the can am forum with part numbers that work well on the G2 diff's.
I’ve been told Can-ams have great power and all but they’re too powerful and break because of it. Is that accurate?
Depends on who you talk to! I ride the hell outta mine and never broken an axle or drive shaft, although I broke the thru shaft. When they lift or alter the machine, things start breaking. I know a few friends that have never broken anything, although they don't ride like we do! Design flaws are one of the main causes of breakage too. Riding in deep thick mud at full power will break most machines! LOL!
Nice atv I'll be there on the 8th
Great to meet you Dennis! Hope you enjoy your new toy and it gives you as much fun as it gave me! I forgot to give you that extra tire! Swing by sometime! Thanks again and Happy Trails!
Great review . Have you settled on a best belt for it ?
Maverick HD Belt is what I've been going with and will stick with...they take a lot off abuse and hold up really well! I've put a CVTech primary clutch on this winter, so the belt should preform even better now! Thanks for checking the video out!
I been running the gates c12 with good results
It must be different between the Can-Am‘s but I seem to have no problem torking my 570
tire studs to76 pounds
Good to know, thanks!
Would you buy another!!??
Damn, just bought the 2019, i wish i would of seen this before buying it. Sure seems like can-am has some really shitty parts in there and important parts at that. DAMN!
I did check some reviews and i'm guessing they where payed reviews cause did not hear how bad these bikes where.
Thanx Rob Farrow ATV
I don't have the bike yet, maybe i can cancel it. It's paid for but not assembled cause i said "no rush"
Hope you still read these 2018 videos
Depends how You are gonna ride it I guess! The 2019 should've addressed some of the pitfalls of the 2016...the '16 was a new design and I probably should've waited or bought something else! But this is what I have. They are powerful machines and I think any machine is going to have a lot of problems if you ride her hard but the '16 is a Lemon in my eyes! Thanks for watching!
@@RobFarrowATV I'm not one to beat up my toys but unless they addressed some issues i now i'm going to have to upgrade the primary and secondary clutches and keep an eye on the diffs and steering link, brakes are cheap. Seems like i already need to put a grand at least for it to be a reliable machine and it's already $18,000.
Oh shit i'm really discouraging myself as i write this.
In any case, thanx for the videos.
Plz let me know of great " the best" after market part as i described above Thanx again.
Primary clutch for sure! I'm running a CVTech which seems to work good with an upgraded spring in the Stock secondary! Definitely get a pipe and tuner...I like the SPI slip-on I have, you can take it apart and repack it easily. At least you are looking into everything and weighing the options, good luck on your purchase!
I'm thinking of buying a can am I love the looks of em but i also know yamaha honda are made better ! Considering everything you know now What brand would you buy if you had a choice today?
Depends on what you're planning to do with it! For power and mudding I'd still get the same machine! If I was doing mostly trails and some mud, I'd go with the XT model, maybe a 1000. Can Am has their issues as does every other model...depending on what you're using them for. I think this year (2016) being the first year of this newer style, had a lot of issues to work thru. They've corrected a lot of the issues though and the 2021 model has the new front diff lock that is supposed to be way better than the visco. I like the Can Am power, there has been no issues with the engine itself! Like I said, it all depends on how you treat it and if you do maintenance on it. I may have had a lot of issues and problems with it but they're all fixed or upgraded now and it's an awesome machine! Good luck with your purchase and Happy Trails!
@@RobFarrowATV thanks for getting back and taking the time to answer my question you got my Subscription! Whatever I decide I'm sure it's going to be good !
Thanks Richard, glad I could help!
Soo Bro is it worth its money?
If you have the money to spend on it, it is one awesome machine! Lots of fun and a blast to ride! Thanks for watching Man!
With the stripped plastic, just use bigger screws, use stitch screws
Thanks Eugene!
I like the review but would have been a lot better if it was a review on an all stock machine after 1 1/2 years of riding. Can't really get a since of what stock would do with this review.
Everything stock that was changed was changed because stock sucked...basically!
I bought an articat mud pro 3000km had a head gasket go, engine mounts bad and bearing seal gone bad leaking engine oil in the belt cover all these machines when they are worked hard have problems some more than others
Wow! Yep, they all do for sure!
You have a 2 inch lift on yours they come stock. If u didn’t you couldn’t run those tires.
If it comes stock then it's still a stock suspension! ;-) Adding 2" to it would be an add on lift, which may cause issues. Thanks for tuning in Man!
Rob Farrow ATV true
How did you like your 2008 650 Brute?? Any complaints? Anything to watch out for? Mine has 22,000 K on it and have only had to change the stater 😁🙌👍 oh, and tires, they turned into banana peels with those miles.😵
Loved my Brute, very reliable machine and with the power module, it had lots of power! No issues in the 8 or 9 years that I owned it! I eventually needed a deep mud capable machine though, so I got the XMR... Thanks for tuning in!
I’m on the fence of getting a Kawasaki brute force 750 or a can am outlander 850 xt. What should I get l?
The Brute, or at least my old Brute was very reliable, never had an issue in the 8 years I owned it! Great trail ATV and occasional mud! The Can Am 850 XT has more power than the 750 Brute and is fairly reliable. It's up in the air...LOL! There's a lot of Can Am's out there and some people have problems and some don't...all depends on what you are doing with it, what type of riding. That's a tough choice for sure! I would probably lean towards the 850 myself...but that's just me wanting power. Good luck with your choice and happy trails Jaden!
Rob Farrow ATV thank you for replying really have helped my decision, a lot of other atv UA-camrs have said I should go with the outlander so that’s probably what I’ll do it really is a tough choice
Rob Farrow ATV the only thing I don’t like about the outlander though is the visco lok and there is only one brake lever
@@jadenmassey7882 Jaden Massey ya the Visco seems to die around 3000kms or so, probably depends on how hard you ride and how much you use it! When it does go you can replace it with the cheaper cost torq locker...I replaced mine with another Visco, so we'll see how that goes! It took me some time to get used to the single hand brake lever...keep reaching for the second one that's not there but I have no issues with it now. I don't use the foot lever very much either!
Rob Farrow ATV did the visco work like an actual locker or is it ok
Is it automatic
Ya, with a high and low selection...
You dont ride alot i have 7 months with my polaris sportsman 570 i have put in 245 hours with 3600 miles .. nice atv tho
We have short riding season here unfortunately, wish it was longer...like all year! LOL! Thanks for watching and Happy Trails Ruben!
that would be cool lol i just have alot of time i need to get off her tho dont want to break her
So you pay 12000 for a ATV and have to add extras. I'll stick with yamaha grizzly
You dont have to, its very good stock, he is an enthousiast
Motor and transmission reliable ?
Aside from the issue with the rad hose coming off and overheating the engine, no issues with the motor and tranny...seem to be pretty bullet proof!
Rob Farrow ATV wat makes it over heat herd this a few times thats bout the only thing and the diff keeping from getting one
This is what happened... ua-cam.com/video/iBMHZOe4rCg/v-deo.html no other overheating problems!
Rob Farrow ATV ok im check it out that would be my only issues but other said exhuast tune some kinda off blue fan mod i think and thermal wrap but idk lol that it will help kerp heat down
I like the protection against zombies better 😰😱💀
LOL! Ya never know!
Very nice , information about CANAM,if some one nead more about canam -where i contect .send me face book link.thanks.
Rob Farrow ATV FB or you can just punch in Can Am on FB and a lot of links will come up! Thanks Arbab!
Would this machine be able to be run by a 13 year old?
It's a hand full and weigh's 1000lbs, be pretty dangerous for a 13 year old...hell, it's dangerous for me! LOL!
Thank you, I am heavy though, wouldn’t the DS 250 be to small?
A 570 XMR might be a good machine if you're looking for that type of ATV...not sure, you'd have to see if you can find some demo's to try out and see what suits you.
Ok thank you
hey rob .. check out cubbee video .. you will blow your mind when you see it ... its no bs either
The Ice skating vid or plow vid? I watch all his vids, especially the ones I'm in! LOL! Hope to get out riding with them again this year! Thanks for watching Man!
ice skating ... i did not know ck can skate .. she is amazing and she did blows my mind and my jaw drop to the floor .. oh my god she skate so beautiful
She's pretty talented for sure!
I will say wow .. she skate like a princess for sure
This is why you don't buy used four wheelers.
When and if I sell it, it will be a very reliable machine with all the parts I've upgraded and the maintenance I've put into it, might look a little beat but it will be mechanically sound and work better than stock ever would!
House paid off kids gone time to go get in trouble and finance a machine I’m going in Japanese I’m going Honda talon
Right on! Enjoy your ride and Happy Trails!
I had a can am outlander it was Junk. I had to put so much money into it
All depends on how you ride it. I put it thru hell and back. I know a few people that haven't had any issues with their Can Ams!
Yeah true i think they all brake down .
Does it overheat and melt plastic??? and what the fuck man u must took apart the diff everyride, i mean jesus bro....
Was always playing with the rear diff until I got a Mud'n Wheels one...been good for over three years now. She runs hot like any Can Am, only melted a tiny bit of plastic when I took the heat shield out...put it back on now.
@@RobFarrowATV great, would u recomend 2020 outlander 1000 for 2 persons or one?
The 1000 is a longer frame and will accommodate 2 persons and it's got plenty of power. You can go either way with one or two persons.
@@RobFarrowATV Is the longer frame less fun in terms of drift and trail riding?
Can be tight on trails, depending on how twisty the trails are. Won't wheelie as easy as a short frame but should drift just fine. Better on steep hills than the short frames, mine tends to want to flip over backwards with the short frame while longer frames just cruise up the hill.
You forgot about the shit rear diff
Yeah, was trying to forget about it...actually had to replace it this winter! Thanks for watching Hunter!
men more i si more i go to brute force
LOL! I had a Brute 650 before...9 years and no issues with it but nothing beats the Can Am power! Thanks for watching!
So don't buy a can-am, got it.
I'm going to do wuAt u do youtub
Right on, good luck Man!
Most expensive wheeler you can buy!!! I love my Honda! Low HP and all...
Ya, she's expensive and keeps on taking but she's a blast to ride! Thanks for tuning in Brandon!
Honda’s are cute. Can am makes mean machines though.
So get a Honda...
Them outlanders are just to dam ugly and long the renegade looks much better
Rene is only 4" shorter and tends to wheelie in the mud too much! Also throws a pile of crap in you face! LOL!
@@RobFarrowATV yea I jumped on a 570 yesterday and let that bitch eat and got covered in mud thanks canam for no finder coverage
