Jon - The part where you tell everyone to put the nut back on and glance at the camera is fantastic. As I started yanking on the wheel it became very apparent why you did that. Almost four years later this is was a great help. Thanks
I'm 6 foot and 380 lbs. Your videos really are helpful in me selecting my utv. Thank you so much man! I'm in Atlanta if you ever want to hit some trails. Thx again
Best part is how you pop off the steering wheel with ease. If you only knew the struggle I have to get mine off. Lol. Takes a bearing separator and 2 jaw gear pulley. Next time it comes off it will be to put one of these on. Thanks for the demo!!
Great instructional video, Jon. I will make this my next project on my Can-Am X3 XDS. Keep up the great work on your vids and look forward to your next Can-Am X3 project.
Right on Jon, thanks for posting this. I am adding a hub and steering wheel and wanted to see if it was a big deal. You made that easy for me. Thanks again
Get yourself some aftermarket seats. I got the PRP suspension seats, 6" of soft comfort. Compared to this stock seats its the difference between night and day. Excellent video, much appreciated.
No the stock wheel can not be used Ngr innovations short hub steering wheel adapter for can am x3 Nrg innovations srk-200bk quick release Are the 2 pieces you need
Anti theft device ! I’m sure the cam am is hard to steal however taking the wheel would discourage most people from trying. Good Video, thanks for sharing !
Im not so sure about that. Wheel is majority plastic. If i were to go this route i would look for a quick release that i can put inline on the steering shaft
We are basically the same exact build. Any ideas on a harness the one at the dealership has a harness but it isnt gonna work lol Gonna buy a base turbo within the next couple weeks. Liked and sub'd
Thank you! It really all came down to the fact I could fit comfortably in it. As far as why I went with the xrs model. I wanted the wider wheel base and the upgraded 3 inche fox shocks in the rear. Bigger guy, bigger shocks lol
I just bought a used 2012 can am. It drives awful. Does anyone know what could be wrong with it. It only has seven thousand miles on it. So its not wore out. If you know. Please tell help me. Thanks guy's
I am 5'7" 430 lbs. So is your seat all the way back and steering in the highest position. Because it looked just perect for you but you weigh less but like 6" taller also. Just want to make sure it would work for me
Scorch Earth yes I have the seat all the way back. And I actually lower the steering wheel while driving. If you need a little more (gut room) lower the drivers seat the 2 inches and bring the wheel closer to chest level. Also allowing you to pivot the wheel
Oh so lowering the steering wheel gives you more room. Well thats good. I sat in a RZR, General and a regular Maverick and I had to have the sterring wheel in the up position, lowering the steering ended up hitting my belly. I went to the CanAm dealership on 3 different occasions to sit in the X3 and they never have any. They told me its unlikely I ever will because they are sold before they get there. But cant order one just incase it doesnt work. So I guess my question is. Have you sat in all those SXS I mentioned and how was it for you. Also I was told the X3 you need long legs but at 5'7" thats a problem. So are your legs stretch in there or are you finding your legs cramped in there. I am hoping for cramped cause that might be good for me. Thx for quick response and love the videos. Cant wait to hear from your feedback when you go out riding
Scorch Earth I'd be more than happy to get some full video of both me and girlfriend who's 5'6 in the can am. Give me a couple days and I will post a link for you to see. As for sitting in other utv. X3 has the most visually. I did sit in a rzr and it sucked. Your best chance is x3 in my opinion
Thank you Jon, I would really like that. Thx so much. Ya i might have to widen my search to find a X3 where i can sit in. Both those units are hot. Cant find them anywhere.
I also sat in the general and the razr and didn't have much room. I'd say your best bet is the x3 or yxz1000r. They both have a swept back seat position and it allows us room for our gut. I'm 6'2 440

Hey Hercules, I tried to manhandle the stock steering wheel off. Ended up borrowing a buddy's steering wheel / gear puller. You got some bad ass guns there bro. Upgrade your seats, with every penny.

Kevin Prater absolutely! I'm glad I can help. Cause we need more big guys to share the things that work.

Viper Drone Videos thank you! I will have a new video in a couple of weeks. Took some time off to celebrate the holidays
Right on Jon, thanks for posting this. I am adding a hub and steering wheel and wanted to see if it was a big deal. You made that easy for me. Thanks again
You make it look so easy.. nice video
Thank you. Videos help hide the real struggle. Lol
Great video. I'm about to install my new Assault Quick Release hub and new steering wheel.
Get yourself some aftermarket seats. I got the PRP suspension seats, 6" of soft comfort. Compared to this stock seats its the difference between night and day.
Excellent video, much appreciated.
Very helpful video. Can you send me the link for that part also can it be used with the stock stealing wheel
No the stock wheel can not be used
Ngr innovations short hub steering wheel adapter for can am x3

Are the 2 pieces you need

NEEDED A GEAR PULLER FOR MINE IDK HOW YOU DID IT BY HAND
I've heard from multiple people the samething. My assumption is tolerances.
I wonder if the stock wheel on an x3 will fit on a base model OG maverick 🤔
Can you install a quick release on the stock wheel? I actually like the look and feel of the stocker.
Im not so sure about that. Wheel is majority plastic. If i were to go this route i would look for a quick release that i can put inline on the steering shaft
@@civicb20z ok I'll check into that; thanks
I’m Like You I’m a Big Man 🛩😎🛩
We are basically the same exact build.
Any ideas on a harness the one at the dealership has a harness but it isnt gonna work lol
Gonna buy a base turbo within the next couple weeks.

I Really Enjoy 😉 Your TH-cam Video and What Made You to Decide On the CAN-AM Maverick X-3 XRS Model Man?
Thank you! It really all came down to the fact I could fit comfortably in it. As far as why I went with the xrs model. I wanted the wider wheel base and the upgraded 3 inche fox shocks in the rear. Bigger guy, bigger shocks lol
Jon Michael : Ok 👌 and Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄🎁 and I’ll Keep Watching For More GREAT 👍 Videos
Bennie thank you and Merry Christmas to you

Awesome!
Do u have link for that nrg so many out there
You ever consider the PRP seat lowering bracket? Or do you feel there is enough leg room? 6’3” and 350 myself.
I have not, but some more leg room would be nice
I am 5'7" 430 lbs. So is your seat all the way back and steering in the highest position. Because it looked just perect for you but you weigh less but like 6" taller also. Just want to make sure it would work for me

Did you have to modify the seat at all to fit?
Negative. I fit just fine
