I have a Bombardier Quest and it needs to be rocked back and forth to get it to shift into another gear, my dad had a similar problem with his Outlander.

I understand there was a thread on here that mentioned there is a different bearing that can be used on the clutch that will eliminate that.

Does anyone know if the bearings are the same for different models ?
Is the outlander the same as the quest. They both have the 6 arm clutches.

The dealer said it needed a shim ?? The new bearing did the trick on my dads machine.

thanks, crs

 

not sure about the quest but i know where you can get the bearings for the outlander. go to vxb.com and its part #6808rs. the size is 40mmx52mmx7mm and you need 2 of them about $30and takes abut an hour to an hour and a half to install. i know i have the same problum with my 09 650 maxx.

 

Thanks for the measurements, that will help.

 

Sometime I have to rock my 650 outlander to get it in park. Did yours start out this way?

Where did you get that buck, and is it a whitetail?

Your 650 Outlander, needs the bearing change. Talked about in this post ( 6808 ) There is a post that tells you how to change them
Check out the post " Some Questions " There is a video that shows you how to change them.
Yes, the buck is a White Tail, crs76 can tell you the rest.

 

Will you hurt the machine if you don't change the bearing right away?

I said earlier the machine works, but when I go from H to P or R to P I have to rock the machine sometimes. I want to be proactive, but I have the disease "fundsrlow"

 

That is the wy BRP made it, the bearing change, fixes the shifting issues. I would have to think it will give you a longer life of the Quad. The bearings are $14 ea, the installation is not that hard.

 

Thanks Old Boy!! I guess for the money it is something I should do. I bought the quad for $5,000 with 232 miles and didn't expect to have to do much work, but everything can always be improved. The money broke the bank for awhile, so I was trying to hold off on putting more in for awhile. Since it seems you know a lot about this type of quad, did I get a good deal? The Brand new 07 650 outlanders were going for $6500 firm, plus tax, so I bough this one in February off the internet.

 

5 g's would be a good price. We just bough a new 07 650 for my wife, they still have some cary-overs it came to $6000. but we got a 3 year warranty.
