Amazing video and very informative. I almost never comment but this video with specs and part numbers with the tutorial is absolutely great for all of the maintenance covered.
Thanks for the info, I just bought one last week and it has just over 100 miles. We are from Utah and we are down here in St. George, we have been trail riding and a little bit of mile rock crawling so far we love the machine
Purchasing a limited four seater defender at this end of this month. The knowledge transfer from this video is much appreciated. Thank you for taking time out of your schedule to make a video of all the big ticket service items. This makes servicing the machine a lot less daunting.
Best video on a SXS I’ve seen in a while! The only thing missing is the Increased Interval of Inspection depending on all the Mods/Upgrades that 90% or more of the owners add before the first 50 miles and it’s the types that affect the most. These owners are going with lifts for clearance but mainly so they can add 32-35” tires that immediately impact HP and wear on the rotating & pivoting points and especially brakes! Then adding full sound systems and all the cool cargo racks and LED’s etc… With all the extra weight that would likely change vital fluid intervals plus add extra draw to the stock battery so they add a second battery (weight) and this isn’t even considering the size of the driver or all the stuff they throw in the back of the bed. Then we see them on all the platforms bashing their brand because of this or that and in the end it’s all because of them. Haha I’ve been wanting to put something like this together for a while but I’m glad you knocked it out so well. I do think that another video might be beneficial for people to know how all these mods & upgrades affect the baseline maintenance that you created here. Again, great video!
That’s a good idea, I will start thinking of how to put something together, a video that like really applies to so many more people. You’re right about people bashing the brands, at the end of the day if you own any machine you should take some time to learn about proper use and maintenance. Just out here trying to spread the word so everyone can have a better experience. 👍🏼👍🏼
I don't normally comment but that was extremely informative. I have a '24 Can-Am Defender XT HD9 with only about 65 miles but I wanted to learn more about my machine and this did just that. Awesome stuff brother!
Yessir thank you so much for this! I bought a 2024 Can Am Defender XMR and when they sold it to me I went ahead and paid another $1800 for a “24 Month Extended Service” and “36 month priority maintenance” and I called the dealer last week and they are telling me that the service isn’t free. I may seem stupid but I know when I bought the rig, they upsold this maintenance package telling me that the first 8 services were included for free, I called them and they quoted me over $700 for the service. Long story short I asked them to send me a breakdown of what the $1700 package (by line item) I bought and paid extra for even includes, everyone there seems to play dumb w me like they don’t know what I’m requesting to see. So I’m here trying to find out what all I would need to change if I have to end up servicing it myself. This is the first service at 300 miles (not heavy use) Has anyone here ever heard of this? What exactly did they sell me?
Glad this is helpful, thank you for commenting. 👍🏼👍🏼 I am not too familiar with options for maintenance/service plans, it could be something offered through the dealer or directly through Can-Am. You should definitely dig into what it is. Whomever sold you the product should be familiar with what they are selling, that is frustrating when you depend on the dealer selling you a product to stand behind what they sell. As far as your first service Cam-Am does not appear to mention a “Break-in” service, however, they are pretty standard industry wide. To be safe around 200-300 miles it is a good idea to change all your oils and inspect everything well, then after that the service interval is 100 - 200 operating hours depending on use. At the end of the day, it’s your machine, I believe it is in every owners best interest to learn about maintaining your machine, dealer can do a good job but most accounts I hear about where people have dealt with dealer the overall experience is poor. What kind of activities are you using your machine for?
I pull the passenger and middle seat out completely when I do mine just makes thing easier and it’s only 4 bolts don’t lose the bushings after removing the seat bolts
@@wdglockandroll Thanks so much! I’m just trying to make content so people can take better care of their machines, sounds like you’re way ahead of most people by doing what most don’t, opening the book! LOL!
Very excellent and detailed video. Somethings I can check myself and some I will leave to a pro like yourself. You seem to get very in depth to make sure the machine is done correctly. I wonder if the local mechanics are as detail oriented? What do you think would be an average price for such a maintenance project? I'm thinking all this should be done once a year just before I put it up for Winter.
@@lemonbomber1 Hard to say what other mechanics are doing. Talking to them before hand could definitely help clear up what the expectations are. Seems like most power-sport dealers don’t pay technicians enough to sustain good employees. I’m in California so my idea of pricing is probably inflated compared to other places. The $150 per hour range is pretty normal here for dealers.
@@patrickfoley1577 Yes they are available many places online. Where bearing greasers, would definitely help your bearings last longer. Thanks for commenting!
@@keithmccrary6121 I saw those and considered doing an install video of the kit. Looks like a well made kit. There is always added risk of failure with more components but as long as you inspect those components when you are doing your regular maintenance I’m sure it would be a good addition. Would definitely make oil changes easier. Thanks for commenting!
@@troybrya5279 The rear differential is inside the transmission, when you change the transmission oil you are changing the rear differential at the same time.
@@AprilFlowers-ws2nh Noises can be difficult to identify. Things to note when you hear a noise: -What area is the noise coming from? Front? Back? Left? Right? -When is the noise occurring? During acceleration? During braking? When turning? -Is it associated with engine speed or wheel speed? -Is it happening only in certain conditions or is it constant? When it is hot or cold out? Did it get wet? Items you can check: -Things caught in the suspension or brakes. -Broken, worn, or loose components like brake, suspension, or drivetrain parts. Hopefully this is helpful, please reach out with any questions!
@@adamhenrie6567 Right? It’s a fiasco to access, on the models without HVAC it is a lot easier but still not in a great spot. There are aftermarket oil filter relocation kits available.
@@LazyDWorxI have done 3 oil changes. Getting less damage to my arms and hands each time. One bolt is ridiculous. Overall pain to take all the seats, panels off to get to it. Great video, love that you show valve adjustments. Thanks.

Do you do the exhaust valves at the same time at top dead center?

Very good and clear video! I just bought a 2024 Defender XT HD10. Should be the same maintenance as the limited you did?

Is there a rear differential change or is it the same as doing the front Diff?
