Few things: if the shifting become harder, service the one way bearing in the primary. -You can get it flashed tuned with a dynojet PV3 and a 3rd party tune file from motorsports addicts (MSA) this will do many things like adjusting AFRs, rad temp kick on, remove limiters etc. It will make it run much cooler (they are very lean from factory) and will also give you a few extra ponies to the wheels. -I change oils in diffs, gearbox, engine every 50hrs. You don’t need special/fancy oil. Rotella T6 5W40 is what use for engine and as for diffs and gearbox, I use the cheapest gear oils I can find and does very very well. Stick with OEM filter and pick up crushwashers for cheap at hardware stores. -keep an eye on the rear diff oil, the factory pinion/axle seals are junk and will leak water into your diff, so if the rear diff oil is milky after after one ride after playing in mud/water you’ll know. Also, you should fill the diff oil level t’il it start slowly coming out of the fill hole. -I work at a shop where we rebuild many of these rear diffs and it’s usually from lack of maintenance or not enough oil. -if sure you know but maintenance is key to longevity. Grease zerks on suspension, sway bars, and rear driveshaft u-joints after 1 or 2 rides. This will push the water out of the bushings/bearings and avoid replacing parts prematurely. - I always do post ride inspections after washing it. These can-ams can take the punishment better than most brands. I serviced many Gen1 and Gen2 can-ams that are high mileage that needed nothing more than oil change, belt replacement and clutch cleaning. The most common parts to wear out are; wheel bearings, front A-arm bushings, rear diff seals, rear drive shaft U-joints. But depending how you maintain your unit, those parts can last for 1000miles or can last 20,000miles or more. People say Hondas are the most reliable but a Honda would never stand up to the same punishment an outlander takes.
This is some very good info to add, I plan to do the tune with exhaust but figured I’ll wait until the warranty runs out. From what I have seen the can and really only get a lot of complaints on rear differential failure. I’m going to change the fluids in my diffs before I take it out again since it’s been in a lot of water, I appreciate that information! I’m sure others can use it as well!
@@udfhgdfughghjghjYes, he's sure. It's common knowledge kid. It's not the shifting while you're riding. It's a shifting from park to high or low or reverse or vice versa. That's where the whole term Can-Am hump came from. Might want to educate yourself kid
Well I figured I’d come back and update that I picked one of these up today and I love it! This video was the one that sold me on it so thank you lol. Only got .5 an hr so far for break in but I can’t wait until it’s done to be able to see what it’s really got for power. Love the ride and basically everything about it so far.
Nice video. Thanks. I got a 2023 1000R. XT. Same pros as you listed. One major con. While I was out on a ride. I shut it off and it would not restart. It would crank over but no start. Towed it home. Called my dealer. Said check the fuel pump fuse. That was ok. Quite random. I took off the gas filler cap and put it back on. Then it started. ..!! 🤯🤔and is still running good. Maybe a vent issue ..??
I have read a few things about vent issues but thought it was 22 and prior. The things i seen mention was not to fill it all the way up or it clogs the vent although i havent had any of these issues personally.
HaHaHa, As a person who has cut my hands to death on those plastic's, I sympathize, I took a file to mine, no prob...That shifting is just that way, some days its better than others but never perfect, that gas mileage though is NOT normal, I've limped to the truck with a single bar left at 154 kms then only put not quite 3 gallons in it, there's still good fuel when they look out...I've put 13000kms on my two Can-Ams so far and the more you ride them the more you love them, Enjoy...Good video...
Thanks! After going on a trail ride this past weekend with a few hours of riding the fuel mileage is wayyyy better than my typical riding style which consists of a lot of wide open throttle 😂. That’s a good idea of filing them down, I was trying to come up with some sort of idea to make the racks quick to remove.
Bro! You should be asking for a new bumper. They are NOT supposed to fold like that. They barely put a weld on that. I have a 24 Pro XU and I had to send my front back as well. No question asked. Great video! Love the machine be proud of it. Cheers from Alberta 🇨🇦
i have the red base model with zero experience with 4 wheelers i had it in sports mode low this things a beast!! im gonna keep mine in work mode until i get better at riding the breaks work for sure😄😄😄
😂 this is a whole lotta bike for a new rider in sport mode. Work mode is a great call to learn in. It’s a learning curve riding this vs what I have rode in the past. Those red ones are slick!
@@TheATVHustle I actually had my eye on the outlander 700 model I'm sure that would have been more than enough for me but, I'm glad I changed my mind and got this 1 I just need to stay offline for awhile those accessories are tempting!! 😂😂😂
@@TheATVHustle yea I probably go with that smaller sound bar. I'm a little jealous that mine doesn't have those cool wheels, winch, front n rear bumper, power steering. Curious to know how that feels on trials.
@@thatoff-roaddude9515 this is the only one I have ever rode with power steering. It was easy to get used to but now it’s weird when I hope on something else.

The xtp package came with beadlock wheels with color rings, bumpers to match the bead locks and the fox shocks.
love the review, had almost all the same gripes from the box not sealing, too the cleaning. even went as far as getting a foam cannon. its still never clean. gota 23 same color ( even got the same top speed so far :P ) sure youve pushed yours by now, hope to push mine soon

@@TheATVHustle well it's been perfect BUT I never really used it I stop have 270 miles only lol on it and starting this year I will be using it alot but so far 0 issues of course
Waiting on my warranty to run out before I mod it 😂 the yoshi is on my list since I think the empire will be too loud some places I ride. I have a yoshi on my ltz400 and love it.
@@TheATVHustle adding a slip-on exhaust will not affect your warranty at all. The Yoshi sounds nice but if you want to save a little bit of money and still have the same tone, mbrp slip-on is awesome.
Ill agree with you there. When I made this video, I didn't know it was a common issue, I had taken mine through a milk shake like mud hole and got it caked. It ended up cutting me off due to getting hot. Not I see a bunch of other talking about the angle and location causing that. When my warranty runs out ill just do the rad relocate.
If you made this comment to talk you out of it, I’m not the guy. Go buy it now! 😂 I love this thing. Way better built than a Polaris and so much fun. Buy one today 🤣
@@TheATVHustle haha that’s awesome, I think deep down I just wanted the encouragement 😂 That’s great to hear the build quality is top notch, I’m actually looking into prices today and going to go in and check one out tomorrow, would have today but they didn’t have any in this colour built.
@@jeremycassell7627 this color does seem to sell through faster. Most of the lots only have the ugly brown. If you can get a good deal on the xtp, it comes with better shocks.
@@TheATVHustle I can totally see why, the colour is what basically sold me on it. Just looks so slick and I totally agree about the ugly brown haha. Thanks I’ll have to see if they’ve got any xtp’swhen I go tomorrow.
Hello, excellent video, I just want to ask you one thing. I had never had an ATV and I bought one, it is the same model, I just feel that it gets very hot where the engine is, in the foot area. It is normal?
For these, yes. The only solution is to tune it to run more fuel. These are lean from the factory. I just rode mine this past weekend for the first time this summer and it really hot on my leg.
Would you recommend this machine for someone (me)who would just use it on the weekends on grass or small streams and hills here in the Dallas area ? Or it’s too much of a beast for the use I want it for ?
@@eliseog7216 being from the dfw area I don’t know where you would get A chance to open this up. If you’re just putting around on it, this is probably a waste of money and would be better to go with something a smaller bore. But if you might plan to take it out of the metroplex in the future to some where like river run atv park then it would be great. It all really depends on your riding style as well.
@@TheATVHustle yeah I would like to travel with it but want something reliable . Do you think this would be better fit for the occasional river run and ranch use over an xmr or dps?
@@eliseog7216 I’d only want an xmr if I was going deep often in mud or water. The dps is a package below the xt, so with an xt you get everything the dps has.
The hard shift will NOT improve. The engagement dogs will not loosen up. It’s just part of owning a Can Am. Get used to the CAN AM hump.Also, fuel economy is bad in sport mode no matter how you ride. Still one of the best machines on the market though.
Yea I think I have been running it pretty hard in sport mode but I love the response of it. I can live with the shift being hard, I have over 20 hours on it now and the shifts didn’t loosen up at all.
I have the 1,000R brand new only 7.2 hours 51mi, and done filled it up 3 times 😅 ,and have not been riding fast or dogging it, horrible fuel mileage, lol but I can say this , it is stupid fast , scary fast front end comes up when you don't want it to.
I like the xmr but I have a very diverse ride terrain and I like the ability to be able to go fast too. I don’t really hit much that I could need a snorkel either.
You must be insanely heavy on the throttle bro. For me it's capped to go 60kmh but we never need to go that fast in the forest but feels like we never need to fuel it lol
I am evidently, the first few times I took it out I was very heavy on the throttle loving the takeoff speed and power. It wasn't until after this video that i took it on a normal trail ride and learned that it barely burned any fuel lol.
I traded my 2018 Xmr 850 for a 2024 Xmr 700. I feel it has the same power with fuel consumption of my wife's Polaris 570. The shifting is butter and the suspension is crazy, it feels like a Cadillac
No way in hell that 700 is anywhere near the same power as an 850. It's less than 2/3 the horsepower at the crank. Coming from a single cylinder, let alone a V-Twin. I went from a 700 Kodiak to the 850 Outlander and it's a world of difference and that 700 Yamaha is radon par with what Can-Am built their 700 G3 to compete with
Tank holds 5.7 gallons…. Say you put 4 gallons in, 4 times for 64 miles, that would be about 4 MPG…. Something is off…. Never heard of anything that thirsty….
It’s definitely the way I usually ride it, wide open throttle. I took it on a trailer ride going much slower with no WOT and it barely burned any fuel in 2 hours.
There's definitely no way he's putting 4 gallons in if he's filling it up with two bars left. It's a 5.4 gallon tank. It has a 0.7 reserve capacity that you reach when your fuel gauge is on its last notch flashing. That means 4.7 gallons is your amount showing on a full gauge. With two bars left that's approximately quarter of a tank meaning he can only fit around 3 gallons in the tank. There's no way his math is adding up even if you hold this bike wot all the time in sport mode it's not going to consume the amount of fuel that he's claiming that he's used
The work mode.........is lame. Classic. Hate the key, just not needed. Put a code in the display to lock in a mode, no need for another thing to break. Sharp edges everywhere, back of the headlights and tail lights are terrible, just poor mold making by the manufacturer. I like mine but there are things that could be improved to make it better. Let them wash one once and things would improve. The front redesign was so badly needed, the round headlights looked terrible, now it's one of the best looking ones.
