Yes but this guy wants to participate in extreme mud sport, then complain about the set up and maintenance requirements of participating in extreme mud sport.
How do you feel today with your XMR 700? everything's fine? I read that you can hear a squealing noise in the belt or clutch on your ATV. Can you hear that too? I'm going to buy mine in 3 weeks. that is why I am asking
@@albertolobo6608You need to check the roller bearings on the CVT clutch, there are plenty of maintenance videos about the P drive CVT, as they have it on their Ski-Doos. After about 500-1000miles they will likely need replaced, but you need to check them regularly to avoid more serious issues as a result, not a real difficult preventative maintenance process, but something you will want to be aware of and check.
I'm glad you showed that loose screw. I got a 500 pro that I will have to check. It will be used around a farm so not anything crazy. Have always had Hondas so hoping this feels some shoes.
FYI. That “What is this thing” is for their new snow plow mount pins. I just got a new HD7 Pro. So far I’m liking it. Glad you pointed out a few things you’ve noticed that I’ll be checking on mine.
I recently took delivery of an Outlander Pro HD7. Couple of issues immediately apparent. Fuel sender unit failed within 3hrs of use. Replaced under warranty. Now moisture ingress into the 4x4 switch unit on the handlebar causing the front diff to come on and off randomly whilst in four wheel drive. Never been mudded, only used in the rain. Quality control still nowhere near my previous King Quad.
I’m glad you did a video on this thing. As a long term Can-Am owner I wasn’t pleased with the vtwin 570 and 650 going away but this thing looks promising.
I think it was about cost competitive. Because they could have built this machine and used the old engines. The new 700 makes basically the same power as the 570. They had way too many different sizes anyway. I just don't think that they were selling the models geared towards performance in the smaller displacements. People want the 850 and 1000 for mudding and extreme trail performance. They basically just eliminated the redundant 650 and replaced the more utility oriented 450 and 570 with the new offerings.
Good video! I’m also annal about checking everything on anything new. Found a few loose nuts/bolts on my outy 850 as well but other than that it’s a solid quad!
material thickness is not what id worry about, id be worried about incomplete welds, and loose engine fasteners, shit can cause catastrophic failure or even death. its the problems you dont see that will get you. great vid.
People are already breaking the engine mounts apparently. The thin material scares me because we like to push each other out with quality built machines like Hondas
@@MudPuppyOffroad are hondas really quality built or are they just to underpowered to hurt anything? to be fair ive never owned a honda so maybe im just ignorant.
@@motoboggin2619 it's a little of both I suppose. They're definitely designed to be maintained easier and require less maintenance in general. Some of that is related to the lower power output.
most people with gen 2 are honest if they aren’t sponsored but with these new 700,500 everyone is talking good about them i think there POS i have had a couple of gen2 they have the flaws but there overall pretty good
Sure glad I went with a new 650 max xt. 2022. It was quite a bit more expensive. But holding up well. Those frame welds look ugly. I looked at a new Can Am 700. It just didn't come across as strong as my 2022 650 is. Really watching this 700 to see how well it holds up.
I was debating about one to replace my rubicon, but i just don't see the benefits other than the power. I already have an 850 and this thing outweighs my rubicon on 28s by 200lbs. I think I'll stick with the honda. Its also pretty fat for a quad.
@@GNR325 absolutely but it has very tall gearing so it's not a very good at Mud machine also the electrical system is not a fan of being submerged frequently
Thank you very much for the review and other videos with your mods of xmr 700. But I might have missed something. Your said you'd check the real weight of the quad and I couldn't find the actual figures anywhere in the web apart from the official specs sheet. Would appreciate the figures or a link to someone who did the weighting. I believe, the tires are too heavy, but I doubt the saving would be more than 16 kilogrammes for the 4 tires compared to Maxis Zilla for instance.
@@MudPuppyOffroad It would be perfect, if you could make a comparison between actual weights of various BRP mud quads on stock tires, because you are quite right, "manufacturers lie".
How do you like it? I know you said the other can ams you had were Pos and bought Hondas. I’m interested in this bike or the HD7 PRO HUNTING EDITION. I just hope they hold up.
Doesn't have nearly enough ground clearance or suspension travel to be worth making into a mud machine they need to come a long way before I even bother testing one
@MudPuppyOffroad not like that at all man, I'm not a mudder or a hardcore speed guy. I know the XMR and Highlifter are far superior factory machines for what you do, I also know that the Renegade 1000 and the Polaris Sportsman 1000S are way better handling go fast machines than what I bought, what I'm saying is up here in Canada I was cross shopping all the best modern machines, and after alot of research I had one that stood above the rest for my needs. I needed a 2up machine, that would be safe and stable to haul my wife, a loaded cargo carrier, and a hitch riser with a cargo carrier, and a rifle through the bush for multi-day outings hundreds of kilometers from home, and get me back home with nothing breaking. The only machine that had a build quality tough enough, and drivetrain and suspension reliable enough to not worry about is CFMoto, after all there is a reason they come with a standard 5 year warranty up here in Canada, and they also come with extra features free of charge like mirrors, signals, horn, hazards, 2 usbs, 12v socket, brushless winch, etc. There has also never been a single machine I've worked on that's easier to work on than the CFmoto, already did my initial valve clearance check and adjustment and the body panels, air box, valve covers, drain plugs, etc are dead easy to get too. I've simply never in my life seen such genius engineering, and I wanted to share that with you. Because last year I would have said CFMoto is Chinese crap, until I researched it, and now I'm a sold out owner. If I was a go fast guy, I would get a Sportsman 1000S, if I was a mudder, I'd get a Highlifter 850 or XMR, but I'm a trail/camping/survivalist guy, so I got a Cforce 1000.
Major issues after only 35 km! Bought a new 2023 pro xu hd7 2 weeks ago. I put it through 30 km of light to moderate trail riding and it just quit on me , turns over but wont start. I dropped it back off at the dealer and they took a few days to tell me it was a failed crank position sensor they ordered it and I called back for an update and now the flywheel has a missing tooth which is nearly impossible since the teeth dont engage with anything they are just peaks and valleys on the outside end of the flywheel the the sensor picks up for crank position. I was running a Kawasaki brute force 750 from 2006 and never had any major issues. My advice if you want one you better get the extra 5 year warranty. The dealer says this is a first! I thought rotex was supposed to be top notch. Anyone else have a similar issue?
So the issue went from a failed crank position sensor. Now to a missing tooth on the flywheel. So they say found with boroscope. Into second week they got a replacement flywheel...oh but they don't have a puller tool now!! They haven't taken it apart yet! I presume a bolt came out from the magneto and took out the tooth. Its not really a tooth .its the slots in the end of the flywheel that the crank sensor pick up.Should have stayed with Kawasaki. More updates to follow. 0:19
Update. The flywheel assembly was replaced under warranty. I have pictures of the broken tooth as they call it. I will post it if I can figure out how. So the part that has the teeth on it is not the actual flywheel. Its a part that fits over it and it appears to be punched and formed or possibly cast. The teeth or let's call them tabs are really thin and I would assume at this point that someone dropped the flywheel at the factory and cracked the tab and it eventually flew off? So according to the service manager nothing came loose in the housing and took the tab out as I initially assumed. But you can't really believe everything you hear. I'm 2 hours away so I never saw it apart just pictures.
Hi there. Great video! I have the same ATV. Do you hear any noise coming from the rear sway bar when you shake it left and right. I have been fighting with the dealer about this annoying noise. I haven’t ridden mine yet aswell. It has around 1.5 kms. The front can am stickers aren’t centred on the fender,found that out after I installed the fender flares. Thanks Devin
Suprised how much better the build quality on my CFMoto Cforce 1000 Overland looks. Everything is build bigger and more robust, by a long shot... Nice machine though
@@MudPuppyOffroad They didn't just give you the manufacturer origin certificate? That's just as good as a title. With my rzr I bought in Georgia I just kept the manufacturer title. And the person that bought my rzr just turned in that paper for a title saved me on taxes
I just bought one I trying to figure out something. If you remove the plastic on the belt side and look on inside towards the front looks like some type of snorkel. Do you know what it is and do you have to worry about water getting in it
That is where your belt exhaust dumps out. It goes up to the top of your snorkel pod and then makes a U-turn and comes back down this is how Can-Am does almost all of their xmrs. You don't have to worry about water going up it
Also I have taken it into deepwater nothing over the the front rack area but when I give it gas as I'm getting out of water and give it gas there is a small squicking sound but goes away when I'm out of the water. Could this mean my belt is getting wet?
@@MudPuppyOffroadI also have a squicking noise when I go in deep water as I come out of water it squicks when I give it gas but when I completely out of water it stops.what could this mean? Could water be getting in belt?
I'm not sure how "thick" you Internet experts think that an atv frame is supposed to be and still be a capable sport machine. Do you want it to weigh 800 lbs or 1500 lbs? Might as well just buy a jeep? It's not a bull dozer! To put it in perspective, I work on tractor trailers for a living and the frames are only a quarter inch thick and haul fifty thousand pound payloads. Don't crash it and you won't bend it. Don't swamp it and you won't ruin it.
What a typical basic Can-Am Fanboy response. Everyone who really knows ATVs is well aware that Can-Am atv frames have been questionable since day one. So when you see Welds that look like these and brackets this thin it is concerning. It's been holding up well for me so far but I definitely wouldn't try to push someone out like I would with a Honda ATV. Keep bleeding in the comment section though it makes me money
@@MudPuppyOffroad hey, I've got nothing against Hondas. I've owned several of them over the years. My last one was a trx 400x just a couple years ago. It's an absolutely bulletproof machine. My buddy's son is still riding it. That's not the point. You're not going to be pushing anyone out with a Honda from the type of riding that you do, without a full mud modification on the Honda. The last group trail ride I did in Ohio, The only guy that was overheating with a clogged radiator was on a Rubicon and we didn't even do any mudding. We were just trail riding with a couple of puddles and I was on the only can am in the group and it's not an xmr. 2 Polaris, a grizzly, and a brute force had zero issues. So when is Honda coming out with a factory mud package and then we'll have something to compare? Until then you are either riding a machine that was built with a mud kit from the factory or you are riding a Honda that's been heavily modified and still only makes 30 horsepower. The only one bleeding in the comment section is you. Otherwise you wouldn't have felt the need to defend yourself to begin with.
I wish I had as much time on my hands as you do but I'm not going to read that long-ass comment... Unless you have some formal engineering experince this conversation is a waste of time.
Yamaha unfortunately has gone to plastic for all their belt boxes now. The only machine still using the aluminum backing plate I believe is the Kodiak 450 but that motor style goes back close to 20 years
What do you mean plastic? It’s the same as it’s always been pretty sure and even if it’s not it’s obviously fine I’ve never seen anyone have belt issues with a new Yamaha and I never have either and I beat on my 2018 extremely bad.
The older Yamaha cvts (450, 600) used a backing plate built into the cases, which in my opinion is a better design than the plastic backing plate on the 700s. Mind you they don’t have near the issues with leaking and inserts stripping out as the plastic backing plates on the can ams have, I’d still rather the older metal backing plate.
@@MudPuppyOffroad How do you fix electonics that makes the enginne light come on then? I have a engine ligght on mine and took it to them to fix. I looked the code up online for ever and coundlt find anything about it.

The older Yamaha cvts (450, 600) used a backing plate built into the cases, which in my opinion is a better design than the plastic backing plate on the 700s. Mind you they don’t have near the issues with leaking and inserts stripping out as the plastic backing plates on the can ams have, I’d still rather the older metal backing plate.
Typical Mexican quality 😏🤔🤔

Why do i have the feeling that this new xmr isnt going to impress 🤣.
The power is unlikely to impress anyone who has had a 1,000 but the suspension will
@MudPuppyOffroad right.
D WITE LOVE YAMAHA GRIZZLY.. 700 CC 😂
No thanks money pit, with a 6 month warranty.
Dealership service departments are so bad these days the warranty is irrelevant I wouldn't let them touch my machine.
