Can-am Outlander 450 - Cooling Fan Replacement

[@jsoffroad7199]

Do you know if this process would be similar on a 850? This is the only video I can find on a newer gen and really don’t want to pull my rad

[@A4Outdoors]

I would think so ….. but it’s probably more crowded up in there.

[@jqspergonzlaez3748]

Hey do you know if it would be the same process for a 570?

[@A4Outdoors]

I would think it would be the same 👍🏻

I’m currently doing it as I’m commenting. I have to take the shock out but I’m having problems lol. I removed every plastic part on my front end… I’m crying rn

I don't think Can Am engineers could have made it anymore difficult to access the fasteners for this job if they tried. I'm an engineer but I also have been wrenching on stuff since I was 7 or 8 years old - its not hard to give some consideration to servicing what you're designing.

[@A4Outdoors]

You are so right!

[@GaOutdoorsman]

This is exactly what I've been looking for. Do you have a part number for the fan?

[@A4Outdoors]

Should be 709200563.

[@A4Outdoors]

That should be the Can-am part number

Is there anything on a can am that isn’t costly$$$ why did my fan motor fail at 800 hrs??? I’m thrilled with engineering of the engine but the ancillary crap is nickel and diming BS. When I first started the video I thought he was showing a tow out of the woods. Brought back my fond memories of last weekends tow of my outlander whose engine overheated coating me with a nice warm mist of antifreeze. The mosquitoes loved it.

Those OEM fans are garbage. The fan motor can be swapped out with a transmission cooler fan for a fraction of the cost. Amazon or eBay 12V 80W transmission cooler fan. You get the whole assembly, so some dismantle is required.

Cool, thanks for the info!
