Can am 1000 Engine Disassembly

[@beri232]

Great video! I'm surprised it doesn't have more views. It was one of the most informative videos I could find. I think this is the same problem I have on my 2017 Outlander 1000R. I only had 400kms on it and rolled it down a big hill. When it finally stopped rolling, it was sitting upside down and the throttle was stuck at about 3/4 throttle. It took us about a minute to get to it and shut it off. Once I fixed it all up and put it back together ($4,000.00 Canadian to fix!), I took it for a ride and it was like it had 1/2 the power or something. I got it up to about 45km/hour and knew something was wrong. By the time I turned it around to go back to the garage... it was making some weird noises. I have a snorkel so you can hear absolutely everything with the engine and clutches. It was wheezing like it was starved for air or something and there was a knock coming from somewhere. I am almost certain this is what happened on my machine. The Indy shop here said that crank is about $1,500.00 Canadian and he said after I pay the labour to take it apart and rebuild it.... I'd be better off buying a new engine from Canam which he said is around $6,300.00 Canadian. I'm taking it in to get it fixed but not sure if I should go to the Indy shop guy or to the dealership. Expensive mistake I made! I'll be a lot more weary of hills going forward. My Gen 1 would go up the same hill like nothing but these Gen 2's are so damn tippy.

Yes I hadn't had the video up but just a few months but it's gotten a few views. I'm actually in the process of putting this motor back together tonight. I ended up having the crank ground down and found some automotive bearings that would fit it and saved a bunch of money on that. I'm also putting some drop-in cams in it when I put it back together. Hopefully I'll have a video up if not this weekend by the first of the week of a reassembly. It sounds like this bike had the same symptoms as yours with a limited RPM and weird noises coming from the crankcase. .

That is an awesome video. When you helper said “take the headlight off” I lost it. That’s too funny. Good job little dude!!

Lol I'm not sure if he is going to make a better mechanic or comedian. If you want a good laugh and want to see one where he did all the work check out this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooGVan5nl9x5d8U

Great video! I watched the 250 recon videos too. I have a 2020 Can Am 850 Outlander...no issues so far, but the plastic gears worry me...I may not have bought it if i knew about the gears...i read all the rave reviews about Rotax quality and power...the power is there, so i hope it holds up...keep up the great videos...im gonna watch em all !

Nice video!

[@TheChristopher042]

Are the 1000 the same rebuild as the 800's on the renegade?

[@bradgriffiths7081]

Interesting about the plastic gears in there! I'd worry about that as well!!

[@artur8403]

Cfmoto has copied same thing. They also have plastic gears

[@eddyLF]

how much time does it takes to disassemble the engine ?

[@OMRS1]

Why does the motor have to be top dead center to disassemble??

[@FourwheelerDoctor]

It doesn't. It just makes it easier pulling the heads off. Also like to put it at top dead center to check the timing marks to make sure I get them back in the same positions when I reassemble

@@FourwheelerDoctor thank you for fast reply

[@ElectronicsWired]

@@FourwheelerDoctor to replace both headgaskets does this engine need to be removed ?

[@FourwheelerDoctor]

@@ElectronicsWired it is much easier if removed but it can be done in the bike
