I Have been riding Polaris's for Years Now..Bought a 500HO in 09 Brand new and last year Bought a 800 Brand new..And Let me Tell u I've been wasting my money!! Brought home the New Can Am..And This thing is what I Been lookin for!!! I Love it..Even though I Only rode it for 45 min... I Have sunk soooo Much money in my POPO's its insane!! 17 CV's In the Past Year I've Broke on the 800..And I Hope I Have The BEST Luck With this Can Am!!!! I Just Wish I Would worked in the 1st Maintenance in with The total of $17,000 Dollar Including the HMF Swamp Series That wont be in for 6 to 9 days......I Was unaware of getting the Valves Adjusted at 10 to 15 hours..Just MORE money I Gotta drop!!! How Often Do I Gotta Have these Valves Adjusted ????

 

Check out can-amtalk.com there are more outy owners over there. Very good group of people.

 

X2 Good bunch over there when you have questions about CanAms. I still don't understand how you toasted so many CVs. I haven't even gone through one yet. Have over 2700 miles on it. Is it the power difference between the 500 and 800? Just curious.

 

Ya seems like alot of CV's. I had a 2008 800 HO with 8500 km on it before I just traded it in for the 850 XP. Not one CV replaced and I had 27" Mudlite XTR's on as well. Only thing I replaced before trading was u-joints. Anyhow good luck with the Can-am.

 

x2 on the cv's- I've never snapped a cv on any of the 14 big bores I've owned- and I ride with oversized tires 26" - 28"- and I don't baby the throttle-

sounds like rider error to me- 17 cv's in one year

 

Yeah a 30 pack and a liter of Jager Never helped

 

let us know how the can am works out

 

Plus 29.5 Laws and AND the 32 Backs didnt help

 

Well I Rode like a 7 year old boy that just found his weenis..And I am VERY happy with This Bike..What an Awesome machine!!! Couldnt be happier!! It pulls all the wy through the throttle and just plain Ballsy!!!!

 

yep- I feel the same about my rene 800x- it pulls real hard from the bottom to the top, a 4x4 that loves to wheelie.
You're really gonna love that thing in the trails. The suspension is awesome- not as soft as the polaris, not as hard as the brute- just perfect.
