Dude please upload longer videos. Love the Facebook clips but KZbin is where it’s at, You’re a legend

[@rockspowersports]

Glad to hear it! I think I’ll try and get some longer videos on KZbin more frequently.

[@louisorman1663]

Always enjoy watching your videos, very informative.keep up the good work Rock.

[@rockspowersports]

Glad to hear it, thank you!

[@grousehunter67]

Nice work nice machine to work on in this weather ! learned yrs ago to pack a small extinguisher on the quad for issue's

[@MrTJohnston]

Great job. You always amaze me with how easy you make fixing these quads look

[@ATVDUDEZ]

I agree with you about the 1000, thats why I got a 650. It has enough power for what I want to do. The newer Outlanders look good, I might have to upgrade.

[@myliftergarage3340]

For trail riding I feel the 850 is basically the perfect power even if you like high speed riding . Saying that I have a 1020 😂 , thing is here there gone .

[@sugartreefordman7293]

You seem to really know your stuff on ATVs. I enjoy your channel and hope it grows quickly

[@motofarmmx2430]

Looks like a nice machine. That 500 6x6 is a sweet work horse.

[@myliftergarage3340]

If the ecu is from a defender he will have to sent it out and have them reflash too a 850 . BNR motor sports or Mr rpm is my recommendation. Also have the added benefit of a proper afr map .

[@rockspowersports]

Yes I did mention to them, that they could send it out to someone that does tunes. Didn’t seem interested though.

[@funn333]

Possible that key was just a dummy key. Lots of shortages 2021 and 2022 brp , dess post being one of them. Glad you got it all fixed up. Great machines.

[@rockspowersports]

It very well could have been.

[@96Duelfuel]

Good video. Glad you were able to ascertain the problems. Owner will be happy

[@98KingQuad]

I was torn between this and the 850 sportsman. Ended up with the sportsman. 3500km so far been a great bike

[@98KingQuad]

Did one wheel bearing, and had the clutch apart to take a washer off to get rid of the creeping at idle problem

[@rockspowersports]

I bought a brand new 2014 sportsman xp850 and loved that machine. Put about 4000 trouble free miles on it before I sold it.

[@DrSpock-yf3fd]

Your clips are much better here than TikTok 👍

[@rockspowersports]

Glad you like them!

[@MBTUE]

I wonder if that crispy fried ECU will crap out eventually . Actually amazing it still works after being burnt.

[@rockspowersports]

Very possible. I told them I’d try to trade that used defender maverick in for the correct one. They bought it from a salvage yard, so hopefully they will.

[@milkrun7683]

Haha got wifi at work now. I can watch youre content on night shifts now.

[@rockspowersports]

Nice, even though you’re probably not supposed to be haha!

[@lloydmarche7263]

New subscriber . Enjoying your videos. I own a 2022 outlander xmr 850. Really like the machine. My only complaint is accessibility for servicing. I am not a fan of having to remove the foot wells . My 2010 renegade and 2016 sportsman 1000 were much easier to service .

[@rockspowersports]

Thanks for joining and glad you enjoy the videos. As the years go by you would think the manufacturers would make serviceability easier.. unfortunately it seems like they are going the other way on that..

[@Williamxmr]

Love my 1000r xmr outlander, very smooth for me

[@phatman4932]

I have a 2020 outlander 570. I’ve had nothing by problems with it from radiator fan motor to drive shaft and u joints and diff seals. Man I wish I kept my 08 grizzly 700

[@rockspowersports]

Are you running big tires on it? The diff seals are pretty common issue on the can am’s.

[@joemcgrath724]

Awesome video man should do more videos on can ams

[@rockspowersports]

I believe I have another can am renegade 1000 being brought for a repair soon.

[@FullsendOffroad]

Dang that's a nice outlander... would love to test drive one one day. My 2008 Grizzly 700 (least reliable year for them smh) brake light does not work. Taillight works with the headlights, but brake light won't turn on no matter what. I tries replacing the Bulb, but that didn't work. I tried many different bulbs, but still the same issue. What should I do? maybe some wiring is disconnected, or frayed/broken. It's also stalling, and I tried spark plugs, fuel pump, injector cleaners, still nothing. What should I do? My quad was a beach quad, so it was quite exposed to rust, if that explains anything.

[@rockspowersports]

I had a 2007 Grizzly 700 and had nothing but good luck with that one. With you wheeler being a beach quad and rusty, I’m guessing you might have some bad grounds which is causing the tail light to not work. Also the bad grounds might cause some of your running issues.

[@FullsendOffroad]

@@rockspowersports I'll look into it, I'm really hoping it's like this can am and the raadiator😅😅😅, just a disconected wire. That's what I think it is. The previous owner put a completely new frame on it, so the chances of him forgetting to plug a wire back in are pretty high.

[@rockspowersports]

Oh nice! Didn’t know you had a new frame under it. That is a big job so very likely a wire could be unplugged.

[@FullsendOffroad]

@@rockspowersports yep. I don't blame him if he forgot to connect something. It's an EPS model as well and quads these days have a ton of wires.

They replaced all that plastic and left on a half melted dash!

[@bearupfarm1818]

Hi Rock, I finally got my 700 diesel articat up and running. Thanks for your help and advice. I have a question on starting in cold weather. Do you have any advice? I have diesel additive but take a lot and sometimes run battery down.

[@rockspowersports]

Great to hear you got it situated. Was it your clutch that was the issue? As far as starting in the cold, mine actually started pretty good. I would let the glow plugs cycle and then start it. If it was below 0F I would let the glow plugs cycle twice. Mine also had a block heater you could plug in. I didn’t use it but the previous owner used it a lot.

[@bearupfarm1818]

Yes the bearing and the movable shive

[@MrTJohnston]

What’s your preference and why. Honda 520 rubicon/ foreman, Suzuki king quad 500.

[@rockspowersports]

To be honest I have drove either one. I’ve driven the older rubicon 500’s and king quad 700’s but that’s about it.

[@bryanmiller9324]

Do you have any videos for valves adjustment compatible to a 2005 sportsman 500ho?

[@rockspowersports]

I don’t believe I do right now. I’m rebuilding a couple 500’s right now though. I’ll have videos soon. I’m sure there’s some on here already though.

[@franksaenz3803]

What diagnostic program are you using for the modern bike I’m a desil tech but do small engine repair on the side

[@rockspowersports]

Each make has there own. With can am/ ski doo I use B.U.D.S diagnostics software

[@franksaenz3803]

@@rockspowersports I appreciate man, enjoy your videos 👍🏼

[@justinturdeau2383]

What do you think of the Suzuki Vinson 500?

[@4x4le]

As nice as these new fuel injected, power steering equipped atvs are, I feel like my 93 300 4x4 bayou has too many electronics.

[@markbuck9299]

My 1000 runs Hot !!

[@rockspowersports]

My last 1000 outlander max ran pretty warm too. The fan ran on it a lot. Yours isn’t overheating is it?

[@markbuck9299]

@@rockspowersports no ! It has always run around half on the gauge !!

[@rockspowersports]

Just a 1000 thing I guess.
