Can am Outlander 650 back again!

[@Redemptioncustomsmt]

Our local shops are quoting 6-8 weeks just to look at a machine right now and thats for warranty work! Paid work is even longer. Love that you did everything you could to make him happy. Your attention to detail alone is worth the wait in my opinion!

[@bradarcher3863]

My brute force was at the shop for 13 months for a fuel pump and electric fan! That was frustrating, I could live with two months lol. Love your videos man appreciate it.

[@rockspowersports]

Wow, now that’s quite a long time! Thanks, Glad to hear your enjoying them.

[@Pjw350]

While it may have been there 8 weeks- half the time was waiting on parts and unfortunately you cant make anyone happy. People will respect that you didnt make any excuses or anything- i would think that most of your customers watch your videos and can appreciate the honesty that you show in your videos. Absolutely can not wait for the grizzly 600 video. I just finished a long term grizzly 660 rebuild today and pulled my next project in the garage- a 01 600 that i bought new- just needs some maintenance wear items. Thanks rock!

[@rockspowersports]

Yes half the time was waiting on parts but I get the frustration. Awesome you got the 660 done! How’s the 600 treated you over the years?

[@Pjw350]

@@rockspowersports the 600 has been bulletproof- been our plow machine forever. Really nothing has broken. Have had to clean the carb once- other then maintenance- havent had to do anything. Getting a small amount of smoke at start up but it goes away. May try to adjust valves, new belt, the rear brakes need lube- very similar to the honda video you just made.

[@rockspowersports]

@Pjw350 Thats great to hear that it’s treated you well! If she’s blue smoking on start up, the valve seals might be leaking. They tend to dry up on these older machines.

[@Pjw350]

@@rockspowersports valve seals is what i was thinking but I dont think that its even worth messing with until it gets bad. Really doesnt use oil. Besides that I havent had to really replace anything but the tires.

[@adrienfortin4411]

Is what it is. Can't please everyone. Still a great video. Ive hade a machine sit for 3 months waiting for 1 part. That orange is nice on that bike

[@rockspowersports]

I had to wait 9 months for crank bearings for an Arctic cat wildcat 700 back during Covid.. luckily it was my machine and not a customers.

[@adrienfortin4411]

@@rockspowersports 9 months is quite a bit of time. Looking forward to the next upload

[@michaelevans9568]

I have people bring me their atvs that have been at a dealership for 6 months for basic maintenance. So they are real happy with saving money and getting it fixed in 60 days . So I would tell them they are welcome to take it to the dealership. I also have a full time job so I let them know up front it might take a while. So don’t sweat it.

[@tysonrutledge6835]

Things happen, parts are always on back order these days and it seems shipping services has never been slower lately here in Ontario! Only reason I’d be mad is you riding my bike so much lol, I get testing them but man you really take them for a ride! Either way definitely happy I found this channel

[@rockspowersports]

Only if the Customer tells me too. His exact words were “once you get the wheeler working correctly you can run it like you stole it and test it out”

[@jamesclark4]

With tracks you should be in low

[@yeahright302]

another great vid rock!!!just happen to be on watching your other newer vid from the other day and seen this pop up,so had to watch!!!!

[@rockspowersports]

Thanks, Glad you enjoyed them!

[@Robbinsbuiltgarage]

Great video! Cant please everyone! Hopefully in the end he is happy though!

[@ScootersGarageYT]

Thats actually a really common issue with that style of Speedometer. Typically not long after the speed starts messing up the gauge will go completely blank. Had it happen on my 2018 outlander 850 xt last year.

[@Robbiemega]

Enjoying all the videos 👌

[@hanratty450]

Tell him to take it to the dealer next time and see how long they have it

[@brucemacdonald4672]

Another great job and done at great price,which the owner should appreciate!☃️👍👍

[@tommycoyle4475]

Awesome, you should record customers pick ups and drop offs

[@markbuck9299]

That was super easy to replace !!

[@rockspowersports]

Very easy, those are the ones I like.

[@kollinspencer847]

looks like too much fun

[@robertparent1790]

I have a 2014 polaris sportsman 4x4 570 eps efi ,what is the mileage you can do before rebuilding the engine, I always keep up with oil change and all services, it's got 8.468 milles

[@rockspowersports]

If they are maintained properly which it sounds like it has been. It should last a long time. I wouldn’t thing about rebuilding the engine until it starts showing some signs. aka smoking/knocking/ low power..

[@Trucker1984]

I have a question about the tracks, If it stops running when you are out the woods, are you able to tow/roll with the tracks to get it out?

[@rockspowersports]

It is rollable however obviously it would be a little harder to pull due to the extra weight and rolling resistance.

[@lloydmarche7263]

Could have been worse . I know several people who bought new very expensive pickups and broke down shortly after. They were told 2-4 month wait for parts . Now that’s frustration .

[@SteveTheCanadian]

His tail light was out ... did you get that? Lol Awesome video man! At least it was an easy swap

[@rockspowersports]

I didn’t even notice it until I was editing this video!

[@Williamxmr]

Why did that top triangle thing look different? Above the speedo

[@rockspowersports]

The original one was missing the rubber button.

[@Williamxmr]

@@rockspowersports thank you!!

[@Hyngyynj]

I know I woulda been pissed too not having my quad for the snowstorm haha not your fault tho!

[@rockspowersports]

He could have come and got it for the snow storm just wouldn’t have had a speedometer.

[@timpinkham8165]

Sounds to me like the owner ought to be thankful someone like you is available to work on that stuff. You could have told him to take it to the dealer where he would most certainly have paid double for the repairs. Just my opinion.

[@sledhead78]

As the old saying goes, Mo' electronics, Mo' problems. That canned ham equals about 8-10 decent, rock solid 2001 honda foremans. LOL

[@christianstanek8265]

Does it restart the total mileage and hours or is that info stored elsewhere?

[@rockspowersports]

Unfortunately it does restart the mileage back to 0. The hours are stored in the ecu though so the correct hours will be shown on the new Speedo.

[@bigjay6743]

Unfortunately that's why I fixed my bike myself even though it's under warranty Talking to the people that have had their machines fixed At the dealer I bought it from the average weight is 3 to 6 months to get it back that's ridiculous.

[@rockspowersports]

Yeah wait times are pretty crazy these days.

[@russellatwell2000]

You made me have to put on my coat watching that snow blowing all over you!

[@rockspowersports]

At least it’s warm out today! Haha

[@JimsTechNonsense]

He might not be a happy customer today but after riding it again with everything working properly and the pile of money you saved him he'll come around.

[@rockspowersports]

Yeah let’s hope so, I always like to have the customer go home happy..

[@michaelcschmitt]

Maybe you should start charging more for your work. Sometimes it seems like people want to hold you to dealer standards when you seem to be charging much less?

[@Cam-zw8lj]

Oh no his toy was in the shop. Some first world problems if ive ever seen them 😂😂😂

[@brokejokeratv5851]

Guy was mad for time tell him to go to a dealer and see the wait time and the bill and see what he says 😂

[@GarageWorx]

Can go anywhere with those tracks.

[@rockspowersports]

Absolutely, they are quite amazing how far they will go.

[@Jonathan_From_TT]

Howdy duty from indiana

[@racingruss7263]

To be fair he could of come and got it after power steering fix.At the end of the day it is fixed and ready to go.

[@Priest6011]

Do the majority of customers watch your videos?

[@rockspowersports]

Yes, a lot of my customers come from the videos.

[@jamesdavidsmith4033]

The owner is too impatient.... For future reference....

[@adambourcier757]

If he’s mad about wating tell him to work on his own stuff

[@westenp8700]

First

[@rockspowersports]

You almost got it!

[@yeahright302]

are people really that happy to be first at a video?so sad.

[@DonkeyKong2222]

I mean yes, it's a bit late but giving the parts at cost? Come on....the owner of this thing sounds like a whiney baby if he's that angry. You have to make a couple bucks for your time ordering it, picking it up etc. I say fix that issue and drop him as a customer. He could have easily taken the machine, use it until you had a chance to install that part (it was still operational) and went on his way. I wouldn't deal with this guy next time. Parts get backed up - so what. It's business, not a favor. The next place he goes and finds out its a 3 week wait just to look at it, I bet his tone will change.

[@quinnchapman9964]
