yes, that burnout alone without breaking in the belt would’ve more than likely contributed the most to the meltdown.. high range to boot aswell, break them in by the book and they will last a long time.
Gavin Fraser yeah this guy is a fucking idiot ... “five gal dang hours and mug dag gun belt dun did broke” BREAK IN PERIOD YA MORON .. break in doesn’t mean rot the piss out of your bike ... lol serves ya right
exactly what I was going to say, alot of people do this. Break it in with the tires its designed to have on it too. A little patience breaking a ATV in will go a long way.
That's really weird man... my buddy had an Outlander 800cc and they ran it 7 years and loads of hours and work on it before the belt even started slipping... but they just fixed it then sold it for a Honda Rincon.. not a very fun machine, but it never gives them a problem lol... but 7 years before any real issues was darn impressive for a can-am if you ask me.. lol
REEF X mr no.. they fixed it and then sold it... they just realized since they worked their atv so hard they needed something that wasn't belt driven for reliability reasons... so they bought a Honda rincon. More similar to a car drivetrain.
REEF X mr well they didn't start using it for heavy work u tip like 3 months before it started slipping... and when you start to work your atv daily, you need something that's not gonna keep failing on you... so since they needed it for a different purpose they had to switch it up..
The front brake system is tied in to the rear system...wen you pull the fronts the rear grab too. Wen you power brake it and pin it ..the clutch is fighting the brakes got it hot and bam belt done
I have a Can Am Commander 1000 and changed the belt at 3,000 miles. It still looked great and I kept it as a spare. I owned several Sportsmans and never blew a belt and I drive hard. I always use low gear in mud and water, steep hills etc. High gear in strenuous situations will blow a belt for sure. I'm not saying that's what happened in your case but I know a lot of people that don't ride properly with belts.
you should think about upgrading the primary clutch to a cvtech, the stock primary lets the belt slip on the inner sheave while a cvtech is a fix sheave clutch and won't let it slip at all.
Bro, I don't think it matters WHAT the make or model is, SHIT happens sometimes when you least expect it. I'm sorry it happened already but glad you have a good place to take it.
Canams are known for smoking belts and I have a polaris 850sp and the front diff plate broke twice so I got a aftermarket one and I've had no issues since
Everyone I know who rides cvt bikes goes with the Gates belts. The factory belts are known to break and leave you stranded. The Gates will slip and smoke when abused, but do not break. Loving these fourwheeler vids, Keep up the good work
I have a 2014 1000 outlander XMR. And it has about a 1000 hours on it. And it still looks brand new. I've never swamped it or try to use it as a boat. I use it to pulling trailers. retrieving big deer out of the woods. Sprayer my fields. And it has never let me down the first time.
zachcondon4568 I myself can't see destroying something I just paid $14,000.00. I bought the outlander because I love the way it looks and the way it's setup. It works very well around the farm.
Free Spirit Mojo but why pat extra money for different tires and a snorkel kit and rad relocate should of bought the regular outlander and the xmr is mad for mud it stands for extreme mud racer
Just changed my belt from factory. 190 hours 1800 miles And its still good. Just has a small flat spot that was annoying on take off. And on 5 hours you never let your belt seat in. Thats why it went.
Para i got 500 hours on my 2008 outlander a little tip of advice take your Belt cover off and silicone it I went through one belt the first 100 hours then did that so i have about 400 hours on my belt and is still going good. What happens is water gets into there and the belt slips which wears on the belt much quicker. Also if your going slow put the quad in low or youll burn the belt High is meant for high speeds or when you wanna step on it.
I have a Polaris scrambler 1000, smoked the belt in 10 hours, due to one ride. Was riding in a sandy creek with deep water got stuck and was in high. You need to be in low gear when your riding in mud or water or spinning tires like that. It happenes easier then you would think. Water isn't going to damage your belt that fast. I've had water in my belt housing a bunch of times. Just drain it and kept riding!
I have a 2017 1000 xtp max and it has 150 hrs on it and it has of had any issues i took it easy the first 20 hrs and from the on a drive it hard and thru some rough terrain. Its beast i love it
I think you just had bad luck, I have had very good luck with can-am. Our 2010 outlander 800 has gone through 7 years of hard work, top speed, and 4' deep mud pits, all it had go wrong was a popped tire because we ran over a nail. Still runs like a champ.
I wouldn't hesitate to go back to Can Am. My 2006 Outlander 800 XT had almost 11k. But finally got into the SxS world and purchased a Honda Pioneer 1000-5.
I had the same issue with my belt on a 2017 outlander XMR 1000r. Dealer told me 0 to 30 mph bike be in low and higher than 30 mph bike should be in high with performance key. Dealer installed a maverick belt on my bike, Can-am dose NOT cover the belt. Feel your pain brother!
Some things you should know about your Can am. Many of them leak through the back side seal of the clutch cover. Easy to tell. Fill the cvt with smoke or water through the snorkel intake to find out. I think the heat might warp them or something. Won't hurt it to check. The other thing is the clutches them selves. they slip a lot and burn belts.If you weren't in low then that one burnout could cause this alone. All the boys I ride with have the aftermarket clutches witch solves the problem. Also the man to deal with when your diff goes is Muddndiff. He's the guru here in Canada. Cheers and good luck. Great vid BTW Cheers
it's because of the power and torque, the stock clutch does not back shift It self and with that you get lots of heat so the belt starts to melt. get yourself and after market clutch and that will go away.
I'd recommend belt break in, my '16 1000R XMR has 1500 miles on stock belt mainly high gear, first 30 miles was light acceleration in high and low to use the entire range of the CVT, my '13 Polaris Sportsman 850XP has 2400 miles on stock belt. Also make sure the vent tubes are free if they are blocked belts will smoke.
Its pretty much manufacture fail on that belt(usually in 2000miles they give up). I suggest some aftermarket clutch and gates belt, as I'm mechanic working on atvs, utvs, bikes, usually factory ones are good enough, only hard working (wood hauling out of forest through mud) atv-s are having problems with belts. Suggest QSC kit, it's fully adjustable, and come pre adjusted for your usage if asked.
If you were using the handbrake while doing the burnout, then you were also applying the brakes to the rear tires too. So that could've burn't out the belt
OK, I have been riding for over 40 years and there is a reason that things are done the way they are done from the factory. A lot of people are never satisfied with what they get. It is not recommended to modify your ride. YES it can be done BUT keep in mind changing tires means rear end, gears and belts and clutches will file. Plus the thing when new has a break in period. I have had Honda, Can am for years and NEVER had an issue with either.There is a thing that comes with each ATV its called a manual read it, learn it, love it and live by it. If you MUST modify your ride keep in mind you have altered the factory specs and failure is enviable. The only place you can find free cheese is in a mouse trap. Can am is a Ski-doo product witch has been around since 1959. The original name was Ski Dog. The first three-wheeled ATV was the Sperry-Rand Tricart. It was designed in 1967. 1981 first HONDA 3 wheel trike. Suzuki was a leader in the development of four-wheeled ATVs. It sold the first model, the 1982 QuadRunner LT125. In the United States, statistics released by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) show that in 2005, there were an estimated 136,700 injuries associated with ATVs treated in US hospital emergency rooms. In 2004, the latest year for which estimates are available, 767 people died in ATV-associated incidents. According to statistics released by CPSC, the risk of injury in 2005 was 171.5 injuries per 10,000 four-wheel ATVs in use. The risk of death in 2004 was 1.1 deaths per 10,000 four-wheelers in use. The percentile of injury and death was 88% related to not following manufactures manuals and safety guides in relations to owning an ATV. Where I grew up you where required to take a safety cores before owning an ATV.life is common sense witch most people do not have these days. Before you can get a drivers license you have to take a drivers cores and then a written test and drivers test. Just remember just because you can don't not mean you should. I have seen a lot of deaths from ATV'S, Snowmobiles and motorcycles that should never have happened.Taking unnecessary risks and being stupid will get you dead quick. REMEMBER KIDS DEATH IS AS REAL AS IT GETS AND ITS FOREVER...... Have fun be safe and ride smart.!
That's crazy? I like can am alot but can't afford one so I got a 08 kawasaki prairie 360 4x4 belt drive and I can't kill it. I buried it to the handle bars in the lake and still come out. Rolled it by accident off the bank into the lake filled the belt box up with water and still drove it home. It runs perfectly to this day and is a solid 4wheeler, still on the factory belt too. Weird a brand new bike burnt the belt that quick?
I can say my opinion on the belt problem yes the xmr is made to push big tires but with the normal belt they basically put in all of them isint the strongest
Get you some rubber sealent or a type of silicon and put it around the seal on the cvt housing. I have a type of liquid apply rubber seal maker on mine and keeps the water out good
I did the proper break in for my belt and I have 780 miles on my belt and it's in mud all the time. I haul 10 foot logs out of the woods with it and have never had a slip or break..... but I followed the belt break in to a T
mud maniac Can't say I did the proper break in on the 1000, but do you really think it should have broke in 5 hrs when I only went hard on it twice? I don't believe so man, but I definitely respect your comment and appreciate you watching!
no I don't believe that would have killed the belt either it could have just been bad from the dealer. I was just giving some insight on how I did it and it seemed to work for me. if it were mine I would follow break in directions on the new one and if it happens again it could be clutch problems or something. good luck let us know how the mav belt holds up for ya
I own a 2016 maverick xmr. 30" out back max. Stock belt with over 200hr's. Go over your snorkels and make sure they are all tight and change the plastic clamps to stainless hose clamps.
The xmr diff is actually really good if you keep up on the maintenance you'll be fine when your in the deep water I would recommend have it in low good luck man
With your light bar u should get a spot or fisheye lens light bar, I got a flood and spot light bars on my truck and I love it, it lights up the ditches and everything in front of me but hey that's what I would do if that was my atv, and cool video I liked it
I have the can-am 2017 XMR 1000 and when the belt is broken in according to the manual i have never had a problem with the belts this is not the first can-am i have had. i have had three and never had an issue. I'm sorry to say but i saw abuse in the first 5 hours you owned it and that is why your belt failed.. LOOK at your manual it is very clear on how to breaking a belt.
I used to do that with My 99 polaris sportsman with my stock belt all the time. The belt lasted for 17 years then i switched to the new belt and its done that same stuff mudding and burnouts with even better throttle response
The belt should have not have gotten wet anyway and the burn out should have not strained the belt at all because u put even smaller tires than what came with it this is just a great demonstration of how great canams are
I had the same problem with my 2017 Polaris sportsman 850 where I had only 30 hours on it but I took it through some deep mud and got stuck but once I was pulled out there was a burnt smell coming from the belt and it snapped not too much longer after
Put all the power our bikes have in a Honda and they will break even faster than ours without a doubt! The belts are designed to break before you tear up a diff or trans.
We tried to tell you to get you a Honda they never break no matter what they go through but if you preferred the can am then we can't change that and I respect it
Well That's why look at the stuff you are doing with it and you never broke in the engine and it takes 200 miles to do it my 2013 outlander still has the stock belt and i have 2400 miles on the odometer with no problems
lol my dads 09 renegade 800r has never been rebuilt never snapped and axle never had a problem with the belt nothing. The only time that thing broke something is when we wrecked it a few times but to this day that thing starts up and still rips and sucks up anything that tries to keep up with it.
belt snapped at 5 hrs. not surprised. when your doing 0-20,0-40,0-60,0-100 all in one shot on a bike that has not even been broken in will eat that belt like cotton candy.
I wouldn't worry to much about running a maverick belt or gates or whatever. The biggest thing is the "proper" belt break in and using high and low for what it's meant to be used for. Watching you and your brothers videos of y'all riding both of y'all were definitely running the crap out of some high gear when u should have been in low during the break in. Can am is definitely not to blame in any aspect IF u didn't break the belt in. I run 31 outlaws with a 6" lift on my 16 outlander 1k. Have yet to have any belt problems at all and that's with a stock clutch and stock belt and about 800 miles. And if ur gonna change the diff don't look and any other diff than a mud n wheels diff. Toughest diff on the market period and they are around $1000. But none the less keep the awesome vids coming! Good stuff as always
You want reliability and power as well then you need a yamaha. My 05 grizzly 660 old school carborated bone stock still has factory tires, has over 14k miles on it, has been flipped, sunk, and done burnouts jumps and other things and still runs like new. Only thing i ever replaced was the battery after it sat last winter. Actong owning this machine ill always be yamaha all the way.
Minded exact same thing and then after I got the belt replaced within 30 miles of having the new belt installed the rear clutch Bolt came off on a high speed pass at 60 miles an hour good thing it didn't jam up and lock the rear end up and mines a 2018 Can-Am Outlander 1000 XMR
on a side note there has been a lot of polaris fires they are ok bikes but they mount shit in stupid areas on them like the battery at the bottom of the machine and ect... bottom line is every machine has its pros and cons there is not one machine that is God and completely perfect thats for sure
CanadianMoose 03 I ride my renegade hard everytime I ride it and have only had 2 issues with it and one I caused and the second one I bought it with a fucked up axel cuz the stupid boot ripped on it lol but like I always say to each his own
i mean, i have 7000km on my yamaha grizzly 700, never smoked a belt or had a wet belt and i've been over the tank in water before, only thing that ever happened was a blown wheel bearing and a blown axle
I read there is a break in period for the belt as well. You could have put to much stress on it before it being properly broke in. Just my guess. I just got the 2018 outlander 1000xmr and already have 15 hours on it and have not had any issues thankfully. Good luck with your next belt and hope you don't have any issues in the near future.
My polar belt shredded when I was doing a pull off we had 2 Polaris connected to each other it was a tie but my belt started smoking so I drove it home and it threw the belt
Also be careful line locking it and spinning the tires, if you hold your brakes to long especially the foot petal it will throw a Check engine light or should I say throw cash at the dealer light and trip to the shop to replace the brake sensor
putting the smaller tires on it I think would've messed with gearing of the clutches. The clutches were geared to run the bigger tires and not the 26s. I know when I asked my dealership about regearing for big mud tires on my maverick that if I switched back to the stock tires I would have to regear again or else I would just smoke the belt
i just bought a new Yamaha Grizzly limited edition. i almost went with the can am because as you stated, they are second to none in power. i was told that polaris and can am have the same type of belt drive. yamaha has a different system on there belt drives. i chose to try the yamaha, so far have 25 hours and no issues........ fingers crossed. good video man. i like the honest videos for sure. good job.
My buddy had a Polaris 570 and we were riding along and he had stock tires and just blew his belt when it was pretty much brand new, just saying there are always flaw in every brand
I'd be willing to bet it burnt up because when you use the front brakes it also uses the back brakes as well, put all 4 tires in the air and free spin the rears and hit the front brakes. It should stop the rear wheels. Hope this helps
The dealership should know that if they sell them. Dont belive me test it out Pull the fronts and hold step on the rears you will feel the fronts give... does the same if you do it the other way too..
Always stay in low for things like that ... high puts to much strain ... only use high for going over 25 .. and especially use low when you are mudding
the belt going is not your fault. its a common issue on XMR's just not sure about it happening that early. the issue with any can am XMR is that it is not geared properly. it is geared the same as a regular 1000 and so it struggles to spin the bigger tires, so just riding normal will wear it out. if you can lower the gearing you should help your belt issue, but may put more stress on your diff.
Sorry bout the four wheeler I was actually loving all the content about them! I honestly stay up and on TH-cam waiting for your vids call me crazy I don't care I just like to support guys like you and your brother who have bad ass trucks! Love the content! Love live Cummins diesel!
The gates belts are way cheaper on amazon. If it was me I'd start looking into stm or qsc clutches. Then you won't have belt problems. The shitty thing about canam clutches is they only grab one side of the belt. So in theory you are always slipping the other side.
Gated carbon g force, only belt I run on my renegade and outlander, over 1200 miles of riding on each of them and still going strong, can am belts suck! Never tried the maverick belt, wish you luck pal these things are money pits lol
wow my 08 500 artic cat reaches his 65mph and keeps pulling and I do burnouts for days on factory belt no problems at all only thing is that I had to rebuild it twice lol... drifting is my thing...
The biggest thing is you have to be in the gear most relative to the speed you're going I learned that with my Polaris ranger side by side if you always put it in high you'll smoke the belt so fast

Maybe break it in properly next time.
😅
Yeah when he held the front brake and did that burn out I cringed so hard
yes, that burnout alone without breaking in the belt would’ve more than likely contributed the most to the meltdown.. high range to boot aswell, break them in by the book and they will last a long time.
belts have a break in period and its longer then 5 hours
Gavin Fraser yeah this guy is a fucking idiot ... “five gal dang hours and mug dag gun belt dun did broke” BREAK IN PERIOD YA MORON .. break in doesn’t mean rot the piss out of your bike ... lol serves ya right
exactly what I was going to say, alot of people do this. Break it in with the tires its designed to have on it too. A little patience breaking a ATV in will go a long way.
You forgot to mention can am is a car payment they are so damn over priced lol
Chase Phillips you can buy a used one for a decent price
That's really weird man... my buddy had an Outlander 800cc and they ran it 7 years and loads of hours and work on it before the belt even started slipping... but they just fixed it then sold it for a Honda Rincon.. not a very fun machine, but it never gives them a problem lol... but 7 years before any real issues was darn impressive for a can-am if you ask me.. lol
My A/C went 10 years before a belt, wheel bearings, and a cv boot. Talk about impressive haha.
lol they sold it because it needed a new belt?
REEF X mr no.. they fixed it and then sold it... they just realized since they worked their atv so hard they needed something that wasn't belt driven for reliability reasons... so they bought a Honda rincon. More similar to a car drivetrain.
LOUD 'N' PROUD yeah...but 7 years... Lol
REEF X mr well they didn't start using it for heavy work u tip like 3 months before it started slipping... and when you start to work your atv daily, you need something that's not gonna keep failing on you... so since they needed it for a different purpose they had to switch it up..
The front brake system is tied in to the rear system...wen you pull the fronts the rear grab too.
Wen you power brake it and pin it ..the clutch is fighting the brakes got it hot and bam belt done

ChromeGunner86 Agreed.... I loved my CV Tech.
I'd have to agree if you upgrade clutches you'll save on belts forsure
ChromeGunner86 got a renegade on 32 outlaws. All stock. 400hours on it 0 problems
the break in period is so important, that is what caused it. i'm a mechanic, I had a 2017 xmr 1000, until the electrical caught fire
Owners manual? What's that? Hah
Bro, I don't think it matters WHAT the make or model is, SHIT happens sometimes when you least expect it. I'm sorry it happened already but glad you have a good place to take it.
Very true man! And me too!
Canams are known for smoking belts and I have a polaris 850sp and the front diff plate broke twice so I got a aftermarket one and I've had no issues since
Everyone I know who rides cvt bikes goes with the Gates belts.
The factory belts are known to break and leave you stranded. The Gates will slip and smoke when abused, but do not break.

Sam Kirk Thanks for the feedback man!
ParoDoXz hell yeahhh gates all day oem belts dont last i have a 800s rzr thats all i run gates baby
I have a 2014 1000 outlander XMR. And it has about a 1000 hours on it. And it still looks brand new. I've never swamped it or try to use it as a boat. I use it to pulling trailers. retrieving big deer out of the woods. Sprayer my fields. And it has never let me down the first time.
Free Spirit Mojo why buy an xmr if your not going to go mudding

I put my outlander xt 1000 in low when I go it water and up hills when I have to go slow it has 307 hours and still has not smoked the belt

I had horrible luck, no question about it
I have 950 miles on my xmr with the stock belt it's a survivor!

I drove 3000km and havent smoked the belt also

Use your high and low. When your going in creek keep it in low and mud etc and opposite in high range.
I can say my opinion on the belt problem yes the xmr is made to push big tires but with the normal belt they basically put in all of them isint the strongest
Get you some rubber sealent or a type of silicon and put it around the seal on the cvt housing. I have a type of liquid apply rubber seal maker on mine and keeps the water out good
I did the proper break in for my belt and I have 780 miles on my belt and it's in mud all the time. I haul 10 foot logs out of the woods with it and have never had a slip or break..... but I followed the belt break in to a T
mud maniac Can't say I did the proper break in on the 1000, but do you really think it should have broke in 5 hrs when I only went hard on it twice? I don't believe so man, but I definitely respect your comment and appreciate you watching!
no I don't believe that would have killed the belt either it could have just been bad from the dealer. I was just giving some insight on how I did it and it seemed to work for me. if it were mine I would follow break in directions on the new one and if it happens again it could be clutch problems or something. good luck let us know how the mav belt holds up for ya
I own a 2016 maverick xmr. 30" out back max. Stock belt with over 200hr's.
Go over your snorkels and make sure they are all tight and change the plastic clamps to stainless hose clamps.
The xmr diff is actually really good if you keep up on the maintenance you'll be fine when your in the deep water I would recommend have it in low good luck man
With your light bar u should get a spot or fisheye lens light bar, I got a flood and spot light bars on my truck and I love it, it lights up the ditches and everything in front of me but hey that's what I would do if that was my atv, and cool video I liked it
I have the can-am 2017 XMR 1000 and when the belt is broken in according to the manual i have never had a problem with the belts this is not the first can-am i have had. i have had three and never had an issue. I'm sorry to say but i saw abuse in the first 5 hours you owned it and that is why your belt failed.. LOOK at your manual it is very clear on how to breaking a belt.
I used to do that with My 99 polaris sportsman with my stock belt all the time. The belt lasted for 17 years then i switched to the new belt and its done that same stuff mudding and burnouts with even better throttle response
I agree honda last and can ams are fun
The belt should have not have gotten wet anyway and the burn out should have not strained the belt at all because u put even smaller tires than what came with it this is just a great demonstration of how great canams are
My 2020 850’s belt is already slipping and burning during launches and 4wd riding at 10hrs. Got a super atv belt, hopefully that fixes it
its gonna happen 2000 times, i have uset 4 belts on 4 months, i use it on road thoe.. :)
I had the same problem with my 2017 Polaris sportsman 850 where I had only 30 hours on it but I took it through some deep mud and got stuck but once I was pulled out there was a burnt smell coming from the belt and it snapped not too much longer after
No one with a straight face can say can-am is reliable.
Get a CV Tech brother. Best thing I ever did on my machine to get rid of smoking belts. Cheaper than STM and works great!
Can ams look the best
That’s about ALL they got going..........
Yes that's true
Put all the power our bikes have in a Honda and they will break even faster than ours without a doubt! The belts are designed to break before you tear up a diff or trans.
Big tires will smoke the belt trying to do burn outs I did it to on my Kawasaki brute force I 650 v-twin
With 32 inch silver back Garilas
moral of the story is if you want speed get a can am but if you want something reliable get something else
not being a hater love can am but they need to be more reliable
I have a 2017 xmr1000 aswell smoked the belt already aswell
Double O Joe Dang man, we both got the short end of the stick I guess
We tried to tell you to get you a Honda they never break no matter what they go through but if you preferred the can am then we can't change that and I respect it
I appreciate that man! Thank you for supporting the channel!
Honda's don't break because they have no power to break anything, 39hp in the 680 rincon vs 89hp in the can am 1000.....that's why they break
ChromeGunner86 who cares gtf outa here with that that's all bs with the horse power
Stephen Wilson lol how is it bs, horsepower breaks stuff imagine that lol
bryce hammer I love Honda
my 800 xmr did the same thing. it was because it wasnt shifting into gear correctly. they adjusted and never had a problem since
If you are running the visco front end you might wanna get a torque locker
Well That's why look at the stuff you are doing with it and you never broke in the engine and it takes 200 miles to do it my 2013 outlander still has the stock belt and i have 2400 miles on the odometer with no problems
Damn your wheelers are badass
Thanks man! A lot of work left to do on them!
Can ams are high maitniess wheelers but there bad
Hey man you right about the belt it shouldn't be bad already but there is a break in period for belts if you want long life
This isn't a quad, it's a constant pay check for the developers
Im a honda Fan and I admit honda really needs to make BIGGER QUADS
lol my dads 09 renegade 800r has never been rebuilt never snapped and axle never had a problem with the belt nothing. The only time that thing broke something is when we wrecked it a few times but to this day that thing starts up and still rips and sucks up anything that tries to keep up with it.
my 2016 xxc 1000 lasted 3.5 hours before the belt and back brake pads needed replacing
belt snapped at 5 hrs. not surprised. when your doing 0-20,0-40,0-60,0-100 all in one shot on a bike that has not even been broken in will eat that belt like cotton candy.
All stock clutching and belt on my 1000 Renegade XMR no problems. Has some power mods and 31x11 outlaws on it too.
supposed to break in the belt, at least 50 miles.
Tons of people were telling you not to get an XMR because it would break and or be unreliable.
123abc 321abc Fun as hell though lol exactly why I showed those 2 clips first. I knew was I was getting into
Not surprised. Fun as hell but break constantly.
I wouldn't worry to much about running a maverick belt or gates or whatever. The biggest thing is the "proper" belt break in and using high and low for what it's meant to be used for. Watching you and your brothers videos of y'all riding both of y'all were definitely running the crap out of some high gear when u should have been in low during the break in. Can am is definitely not to blame in any aspect IF u didn't break the belt in. I run 31 outlaws with a 6" lift on my 16 outlander 1k. Have yet to have any belt problems at all and that's with a stock clutch and stock belt and about 800 miles. And if ur gonna change the diff don't look and any other diff than a mud n wheels diff. Toughest diff on the market period and they are around $1000. But none the less keep the awesome vids coming! Good stuff as always
You want reliability and power as well then you need a yamaha. My 05 grizzly 660 old school carborated bone stock still has factory tires, has over 14k miles on it, has been flipped, sunk, and done burnouts jumps and other things and still runs like new. Only thing i ever replaced was the battery after it sat last winter. Actong owning this machine ill always be yamaha all the way.
Minded exact same thing and then after I got the belt replaced within 30 miles of having the new belt installed the rear clutch Bolt came off on a high speed pass at 60 miles an hour good thing it didn't jam up and lock the rear end up and mines a 2018 Can-Am Outlander 1000 XMR
Very nice bikes i hope Can Am will step up their game in the reliability department. Thanks for sharing your experience!
I like polaris there more like duable but I also like can am like if ur not a hater
Thanks for being reasonable man! And for watching!
I like can-am but I heard they break easy if drivin hard I always stick with Polaris the only way I've every broke a Polaris was running it low on oil
on a side note there has been a lot of polaris fires they are ok bikes but they mount shit in stupid areas on them like the battery at the bottom of the machine and ect... bottom line is every machine has its pros and cons there is not one machine that is God and completely perfect thats for sure
CanadianMoose 03 I ride my renegade hard everytime I ride it and have only had 2 issues with it and one I caused and the second one I bought it with a fucked up axel cuz the stupid boot ripped on it lol but like I always say to each his own
pieszak26 yup there's bad bikes in every brand. You just have to be lucky enough to get a good one
Cv tech front primary clutch with maverick belt. It rear diff goes out get a mud n wheels diff. He builds for Ostacruiser and blackie. Check em out
i mean, i have 7000km on my yamaha grizzly 700, never smoked a belt or had a wet belt and i've been over the tank in water before, only thing that ever happened was a blown wheel bearing and a blown axle
You started out with 1 2nd gen in your videos now you got 2 2nd gen's and 3 four wheelers. You came along way man
yung savage I'm very lucky! Hope to continue to grow!
I have got an Outlander and a Sportsman both have ups and downs.
I read there is a break in period for the belt as well. You could have put to much stress on it before it being properly broke in. Just my guess. I just got the 2018 outlander 1000xmr and already have 15 hours on it and have not had any issues thankfully. Good luck with your next belt and hope you don't have any issues in the near future.
My polar belt shredded when I was doing a pull off we had 2 Polaris connected to each other it was a tie but my belt started smoking so I drove it home and it threw the belt
What do you do for work to afford these things?
Also be careful line locking it and spinning the tires, if you hold your brakes to long especially the foot petal it will throw a Check engine light or should I say throw cash at the dealer light and trip to the shop to replace the brake sensor
putting the smaller tires on it I think would've messed with gearing of the clutches. The clutches were geared to run the bigger tires and not the 26s. I know when I asked my dealership about regearing for big mud tires on my maverick that if I switched back to the stock tires I would have to regear again or else I would just smoke the belt
Maveric belt, specialy with the big tires and the abuse you're putting it thru.
I've drove more than 3000 km and i havent changed the belt
i just bought a new Yamaha Grizzly limited edition. i almost went with the can am because as you stated, they are second to none in power. i was told that polaris and can am have the same type of belt drive. yamaha has a different system on there belt drives. i chose to try the yamaha, so far have 25 hours and no issues........ fingers crossed. good video man. i like the honest videos for sure. good job.
My buddy had a Polaris 570 and we were riding along and he had stock tires and just blew his belt when it was pretty much brand new, just saying there are always flaw in every brand
It's not the machine, its the driver.
Belts are made cheap no matter what brand just upgrade to higher up like you did
Any time you climb big hills, burn out, going through mud, put it low an your belt will last you this is what people forget to do
Holding the brake while doing burn outs will burn the crap out of your belt
Brake stands don't help belts. Break belt in properly. Not Can Ams fault.
ur belt can blow with half a hour on it
I'd be willing to bet it burnt up because when you use the front brakes it also uses the back brakes as well, put all 4 tires in the air and free spin the rears and hit the front brakes. It should stop the rear wheels. Hope this helps
The dealership should know that if they sell them.
Dont belive me test it out
Pull the fronts and hold step on the rears you will feel the fronts give... does the same if you do it the other way too..
Always stay in low for things like that ... high puts to much strain ... only use high for going over 25 .. and especially use low when you are mudding
Swift-Agar For sure man, I always talk about that in my videos. Always stay in low
the belt going is not your fault. its a common issue on XMR's just not sure about it happening that early. the issue with any can am XMR is that it is not geared properly. it is geared the same as a regular 1000 and so it struggles to spin the bigger tires, so just riding normal will wear it out. if you can lower the gearing you should help your belt issue, but may put more stress on your diff.
Thanks for watching and for the feedback man!
Sorry bout the four wheeler I was actually loving all the content about them! I honestly stay up and on TH-cam waiting for your vids call me crazy I don't care I just like to support guys like you and your brother who have bad ass trucks! Love the content! Love live Cummins diesel!
The gates belts are way cheaper on amazon. If it was me I'd start looking into stm or qsc clutches. Then you won't have belt problems. The shitty thing about canam clutches is they only grab one side of the belt. So in theory you are always slipping the other side.
Gated carbon g force, only belt I run on my renegade and outlander, over 1200 miles of riding on each of them and still going strong, can am belts suck! Never tried the maverick belt, wish you luck pal these things are money pits lol
Got a Can-am never had a problem its over 5 year's old
wow my 08 500 artic cat reaches his 65mph and keeps pulling and I do burnouts for days on factory belt no problems at all only thing is that I had to rebuild it twice lol... drifting is my thing...
The biggest thing is you have to be in the gear most relative to the speed you're going I learned that with my Polaris ranger side by side if you always put it in high you'll smoke the belt so fast
