[@TiffanyBottomsHunter]

Battery sound a little weak

[@horsestickmpg8400]

my bro brought it to the dealer and they said its normal its how the G3 platform is... I know I said the same thing when he first got it but it don't matter if its -25 or +25 it starts the same its just the way they build the new bikes.... ODD i know but it is what it is..

What oil viscosity is in it ?

[@horsestickmpg8400]

It's the break in oil has less than 500km on it so likely the stock 0-40

@ Yeah proper oil viscosity rated for those temp ranges, fully charged battery, and high octane ( non ethanol fuel ) should allow up to a direct start up. I would take the fuel out, replace fuel with premium, check the oil type that is in it, change to a thinner oil if not 0W rated, and take the battery out, and keep on battery maintainer, these make a significant difference in very cold temperatures for easy startup, most people don’t even bother. Doing those 3 things will should show significant improvements

@@TiffanyBottomsHunter When we do the first break in oil change around 800KM we will put in the 0-40 stuff thats made for Canadian weather and do the diffs and tranny like my bike but as for the batter its brand new its just how the new Can am Outlanders start sounds weak but they fire right up... Completely different engine than the previous G2 850's
