Two Outlander questions for owners
Hello, new to the forums but joined because I just bought a 800 Max XT...thought I would give my 2 cents about the questions:
#1. Brake? Not that big of a transition...it throws me off more if I ride my LTR before I ride the Outlander...but a real short learning curve...shouldn't be that big of a deal for you either I imagine.
#2. Max or not? My take is here in California they WILL bust you if you ride double on a quad only made for single passenger use. So in my opinion it would be better to have it and not need it than to not have it and get a fine or ticket...and that rear seat will be way more comfortable for the little fella than just hanging on to dad...and you can get those rear seat filler things on e-bay all day long for cheap...
Either way?...Great machines. I was shocked at just how good a quad these Can-Am's are...

Good info from everyone - thanks!
I was originally leaning (OK, dreaming) of the 650 XT. Now I think I will give the Max version serious consideration. Like I said before, hardly ever ride double but it looks like the trend will be for my boys to continue to grow and commandeer whatever quad I buy for my wife to ride. Since she doesn't ride too often, having a 2-up could be the best solution.
Gotta buy a new truck this year, and probaly another car....now I just have to find an extra 10 grand for a quad.

Absolutely get the MAX (for the ride and the space for tw0), and the XT (for the tires and bumper guards), but I only have a 400 MAX XT and it has gobs of power for me. If you are a speed freak they made the 500 the 650, and the 800 for you, but in my view it is a total waste of money. The 400 H.O. engine is an amazing beast that does everything I want.
The only possible caveat I can see is that the new track kits (Can-Am makes one called "The Appache") reputedly suck a lot of power, but they told me that they developed and tested their Appache track kit on a 400, so.... Has anyone had enough experience with these track kits on the 400 vs. the 500 or 650 or 800 motors?

I personally would not be hesitant to buy used (not from a dealer, taxes, extras) if you knew the quad, '06 or '07, will still have a year or two warranty on it. If a used quad doesn't have skid plates on it and no damage, it hasn't really been ridden or it's been covered over, regarding main spar damage up front.
Weak frame rumor is just that, a rumor. Bent frames come from hitting something hard with a front tire.
