Now the vendetta.... Tell as many people as you can. Crusader's or just someone who has crashed there quad and are trying to get someone else (CanAm) to take the heat for the crashes? I don't think it will work because there are way, way, way more Outlanders with no frame problems than the few posting on the forums.</end quote></div>

Couldn't agree more. The guy is still in denial about his crash with the Brute Force that left something bent, still blaming it on a tree as a hard collision would do nothing even though the camber was out. Sounds like a clear cut case of total BS!

the thing is he is not the only one makin this claim of frames bendin. And his point is valid that the frame shouldnt give before everything else. The way I am startin to see this, everyone else is in denial that Can Am could have this happen. Most the people rippin on kas ride Can Ams. and what about the other claims. just leavin them alone because there is no potential previous damage. Bottom line is everything can have faults. Even Can Am believe it or not!

so are you saying i am full of BS as well??? i have no reason to come to his defense unless i felt it was legitimate. after every ride i check my machine from end to end. there was absolutely nothing wrong with mine. then i had the incident. if i had wrecked it hard i would not be talkin about this but i didn't. the frame bends and bends easy in that spot. like i said it must be the angle or something. it was not normal at all. like gasper33 said as well...mabe there is a small flaw in that spot on the frame. nothing is bulletproof like i said i am fixing it and will continue to enjoy this machine just like i have for the last 1 1/2 years with no other problems or complaints

 

Every machine sure does, towed many a Polaris out of the woods over the years. You want to talk about junk?. But when you don't tell all of the facts, go cry on someone elses shoulder. Most of the other ones crying don't even own Can Ams but have a friend of a friend that owns one so they are experts. I have seen broken Praire, AC's, and King Quad frames to name a few so I guess they are all junk. Still waiting to see that Can Am that's broken that wasn't wrecked or abused. My dealer hasn't had any yet nor have my friends seen one. The frame is not weak but if you compromise the integrity with a collision or smash the bottom of the box in, you are going to have problems. If that is too much for you to handle, go buy a different brand.

Watch the Roxspeed video of him on the Renegade doing 100' jumps with a stock frame over and over. Then tell me it is weak.

And BS, I don't know anything about your situation, didn't see your post. But you also didn't come on here one week and talk about your collision with another machine then the next try and cover and say it didn't happen and then cry the sky is falling. Big difference.

 

that is a real proplem
i am planing on buying a renegade and a LTD soon which it makes me worry alot
this is the first real proplem i have heard about canam
most people just say they cost to much well you get what you pay for

i will look into the issue and call canam

 

i think they listen to everyday people aswell i read a news clip where a magizene tested the can ams said the visco loc was to slow and for 08 can am fixed it
this is the first real proplem with can am i have heard of <div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>Originally posted by: HeftyLefty

kas379, file a report with Consumer Product Safety Commission. They have the clout to make BRP listen. Griping here accomplishes very little.

Im not sayin their junk. I just know that no one knows all the facts. It is a fact that the have very thin frames to save weight but it is possible that at some pressure point on the frame there could be a very weak point that might need addressed. Im just sayin that it is possibe there is a problem and your sayin there is no way. Its possible, just take it as a warning and not a bash.

 

did you have skid plates if so buy some sorry for your trouble

i would still buy one if i were you. wont be disapointed. probably just a fluke in my case. can am's are still the best in my opinion.

 

"I just know that no one knows all the facts. It is a fact that the have very thin frames to save weight"
Sometimes my mouth goes off before my brain is in gear too. Do you have any idea what the gauge is in the metal used in the spar frame? Do you have any idea what the gauge is in the tubing on say a KQ or maybe a Popo? Thought so!
