    Enjoyed your honest review Rob, I stumbled on your video since I am considering purchasing one of these myself and will definitely return to view any more Outlander videos you have - am disappointed to hear about your service experience (not totally surprised however) I have had some similar experiences with other places near where I live. Laziness is what it is…I try do as much as I can on my own and always ask others I trust for service recommendations to do what I am unable to do on my own…that is frustrating but it seems to work for me. Keep being real - thanks 😊

    Hey Rob, I was looking forward to see someone I sort of know to review this machine, I thought it had some high hopes for Can Am (Even though most can am people think it "wont have enough power" haha) I was happy your did a review.
    I love how Can am is always trying to innovate & improve stuff, I love the front storage, I wish I had something like that. The rear trunk/bed thing is sort of a cool design I've never seen before (Maybe the old Honda Big Red ATC's had that little trunk thing) but it's a cool design. the storage spot for your camera is really nice and I have one on my Grizzly as well. I love the quick clips/knobs to remove the plastic panels as well (as long as they hold up to the wind from being trailered behind a truck) But man what a kick in the d*ck with your air filter/dealer.... wtf are they thinking, thats Such an easy thing to check and clean.... And I dono if it was just the camera but it looks like the pre filter fits very loose on the actual filter, I know the Yamaha one is much tighter.
    You had every right to give a honest review of the dealer.... who cares if they don't like it, maybe they should do better business. I know I'd be F'n pissed if I dealt with that.
    Love your little atv trailer, where did you get that? is it any good? thanks for the video, always stay honest.

      Thanks Man! Appreciate it! I got the Trailer from Canadian Tire years ago, really works well, been thru a lot, just took it on a ride thru some crazy trails. Haven't had any issues with it. Ya, the pre-filter seems to fit a little loose but when I cleaned and oiled it and let it dry, it seemed to fit a bit better. Glad you liked the review, thanks!

    I've been planning on getting a new quad for a while now. My Brute Force (650 solid rear axle) has, and is still serving me well, but it's time. It was always gonna be a Kingquad750 or a Kodiak 700. Only recently did I discover that the Outlander had a gen 3, so I started watching reviews. The first of yours that I watched was up on Magone road. Caught my attention right away - I've ridden there! Of course within a few videos I knew I had to subscribe! Great channel, especially for a local. I'll be scouring your ride areas and following some of your tracks.
    Now after watching your 24 hour review, I'm questioning where I'd buy (if I do). Like the old saying goes - The truth hurts. And in this case, it may hurt the local dealer. Fort Frances isn't all that far away. Just sayin.
    One of the things that draws me to the Kodiak is the lower seat height. I get on and off the Brute over and over when I'm doing chores around the house and I have a good size trunk on the rear rack that makes throwing my leg over a bit of a hassle. I hate scuffing the seat with my shoe.
    So my real question is this: Is the 38" seat height hard to get used to? Does it feel high? How high off the floorboards is it?

    • @RobFarrowATV
      @RobFarrowATV  9 місяців тому +1

      Thanks Man, appreciate the Sub! I have short legs, so I'm always scrubbing the seat with my boot when I get off the machine (annoying for sure). The seat isn't that high off the floor boards, 24" to be exact. The machine has a high center of ground clearance. It doesn't have the power of the twin cylinder Brutes but it has enough for the stuff I put it thru these days. I laid it all out in the 24hr review. The seat is real comfy still after over 1000kms of some pretty gnarly trails. I'm happy and the price was right. Good luck with your new purchase and Happy Trails! There's also a dealer in Terrace Bay and Longlac I believe.

    I run my Dodge truck low it killed the fuel pump my Scrambler XP1000 S run low only one time it started quiting fuel pump failed and Kodiak 700 EPS run low same thing fuel pump and I have learned my lesson well.

      Running an electric pump OUT of fuel is what kills it not running the tank to a logical point before refilling it. The fact that this service advisor even brought this up show his lack of knowledge, the company’s lack of training and the corporate mind set that “anybody is better than Nobody”at the frontline

    • @crazyflyboy30
      @crazyflyboy30 9 місяців тому +1

      @@Thief400 I know for a fact that you only have to run it low the pump will over heat because I didn't run any of my 3 failed pumps out just low.
      If you didn't know that the fuel pump is running wide open full flow all the the fuel is over flowing through the pressure regulator back in the tank and the fuel is getting hotter and hotter and when it's starts getting low of fuel is already to hot for the pump .
      I'm talking to other guys on the forums right now that are keep going through fuel pump after fuel pump and it's because of the heat running low on gas.

    Hi Rob, well I “pulled the trigger” as they say and picked up an 2023 HD7 but in green instead lol. I think we have the same unit other than the color. I’m taking it out this weekend in fact, going to do some desert trails around Saddle Mountain, near Tonopah, Arizona. So you might see some videos popping up in a few weeks! I love watching your videos around where you ride, cause the terrain is so vastly different than here in Arizona. About the only thing I’m not sure of yet is dealing with the lack of DPS, what little riding I’ve done so far it doesn’t really seem like such a big deal - but once I get on some real hard trails for an extended period of time…I’ll find out if I want to save up my $$$ for it later on or not. I just ordered the Kojem 12 gallon cargo box off EBay ($199) and had to do a few modifications to make it fit. It had the linQ but it was off by just a hair… oh well it’s on now and it’s staying on too lol! Can’t wait to watch a few more of your rides! 😊

    Excellent, honest review. It’s unfortunate that the dealer isn’t completing the work they are supposed to. It’s this exact reason that gives all or mostly all dealers a bad name. This is why I complete my own services. I am no longer under warranty, but when I was I’d just use BRP parts and fluids, and keep all receipts. It’s great when you are mechanically inclined and don’t mind doing it yourself. I myself do not trust anyone to work on my ATV or Ski-Doo. The only time I bring it to the dealer is if it’s something that’s covered under warranty and has to be completed by them. There are times that my dealer worked with me and sent me the parts and I completed the work myself under warranty. I understand that not everyone is mechanically included, or has the time to do this. They are the ones who have to suffer because of the poor service.

    We bought 2, 2006 can am 400's brand new and we had only one issue in 16 years. My wife's machine blew the voltage regulator. We never blew a single belt. Always stopped and shifted into low range on long steep grades. I had a can am plow and mount on mine it was way cool because you didn't have to get off to change the plow direction. There was a arm hooked to it that came out behind the rt. Front wheel and it worked great. But now they don't make those anymore. So needless to say we felt confident buying new 2023.5 ...700 outlanders w/ power steering. Love the power steering there's no bump steer you can hit rocks and Chuck holes like there not even there. It's also good on your new machine to do 1st oil change after 100-200 miles or so. This will clean out any filings or machining metal missed in building the motor. I'm not sure where the fuel pump is on these sounds like it's in the tank.
    I know on cars and trucks the pumps get hot on low fuel in the tank. The more fuel the cooler it stays.
    Great video keep em coming.

    With the fuel pump and not running the fuel too low, it's like everything that has an electric fuel pump even trucks & cars. It's a submerged pump and when you run fuel low it will put extra ware on the fuel pump, you can run it low if you have to but I would not run it low if you don't have to.

    Rob,I have a question/, My son,here in Thunder Bay purchased the 850 Outlander Max,with extended warranty at about the exact same time you did. $24 Grand out the door!
    He brought it in for it first service, and they charged him $600,00 bucks for the first service before they even looked at it! Is this right??? Did it cost that much for you to have the first service on your 700?
    Doesn't seem right to me....

    • @RobFarrowATV
      @RobFarrowATV  9 місяців тому

      Ya, it's about 600 with the 5/30 oil and about 700 with the 0/30 oil which I got. They charge a flat rate now which supposedly includes 4 hours of work. I'm sure they don't take 4 hours and that's where they make their money. The Can Am oil is pretty expensive to begin with also. But if you don't record the work properly they can turn around and say you voided the warranty. Games...

      Regular outlander doesn't have the 4-lok front diff. Have to go pro or xmr for it. While you may never need an full locking front diff when you need it you need it. That was a mistake on canams part. Front locking diff should have been on their trail machines to go up against the grizzly and others.

    That's lousy treatment from the dealer. Another thing to point out, did they oil that air filter sleeve? Because Can-Am doesn't. I found mine dry and called the dealer, he said "check your manual, no oil added to this model". I found that very strange. The manual also says to check the oil after you run it for at least a minute. Now I read that before I do anything...lol.

    • @RobFarrowATV

    Ah buddy, kind of sounds like my Polaris experience. My advice, try and trade it in on a Honda, or Yamaha, depending on your budget. If it’s in your budget the grizzly to me was a good feeling machine. I know pretty much what I am getting with Honda. If not Honda, then Yamaha. If Yamaha, make sure everything is assembled correctly before you leave the dealership, the dealerships do more assembling on their Yamaha machines, than the Honda machines. I mean, personally I would just do my own service on the machine. Go buy a service/repair manual for your machine and do your own servicing. You will be happier if you do.
