CAN AM XMR 1000 REVIEW, PROBLEMS AND FIXES SO FAR.

here are my thoughts on the new can am xmr 1000, it has some issues and it is great in some areas - check it out!

[@my1chris]

I love my Can-Am, but to be honest ill never buy another one. i got a 2017 outlander and it had the DPS recall. I spent 7-8 months not able to ride it. Can-Am would do nothing for the loss of riding time. Once they finally found a fix the way they implemented it (one repair at a time) the process was so slow. The way they handled the whole situation showed me what they really think of their customers. I'm a Polaris man now!

[@caseytodd7632]

You would be surprised, or maybe you wouldn't, at how often this exact same customer service experience has occurred.

[@NOSAtvs]

I'd be curious if Can Am addresses the power steering issue. With the severity of what could happen, it should be top priority.

[@tristenthompson3445]

My xmr 1000 has been through a lot. I still love it.

[@anthonyfoster2784]

Direction "V" shaped tires in Automotive are designed so the "V" takes snow, ice and water from center and forces it outwards to sides so it can exit tire. The backwards V in theory will "scoop" more mud but then has no were to get rid of it because tread is forcing it into middle. Backwards might work better for paddling in water.

[@Erated78]

Great vid Louise, appreciate the honesty as always. That steering has a mind of it's own. That is scary...

When you get in the really sticky tire grabbing mud that visco diff is actually a godsend. I know for a fact I would of broken a few axleshafts without it.

Casey Todd i purchased a rear bumper kit for my 2018 and BRP only sent the bumper, contacted my dealer and the mounting brackets plus hardware isn’t included, brought it back and got my money back. might trade in for a polaris

[@nick-dm3if]

Get the polaris sportsman high lifter or the sportsman xp they have fantastic customer service and look at the videos on them the can am just looks good but so many videos of them being broken they seem to only have 1 purpose and thats mud the sportsman is better and they are the same thing just without all the other junk and cheaper than a can am

Guys i've owned polaris 850 xp one 2009 and a 2013 , i had issues with the 2013 from new that were never repaired by the dealer i since traded it for a Can am xtp 1000r and i am very pleased so far. I recommend you purchase the atv that you think works best for you , not what you see on videos where guys spend money on there quad just because... enjoy your riding.

My Buddy just bought a 2017 Polaris Sportsman 850, he was telling me how it needs all electrical sealed with dielectric grease and the front diff housing replaced because they crack. With these new high performance engines, there are bound to be drive line weaknesses. These things are built as cheap as possible to get through warranty but still gain market share, that goes for all makes!!

[@Mpebbles53]

I had my CanAm ( Outlander 550 v twin for 3 years and the replaced the fuel pump 4 times and still didn't get it right. And they wouldn't give me another on to replace the Lemon they sold me. I ended up trading in for a Polaris, and I love it. Screw CanAm and there product they Don't stand behind.

Is there a video on the snorkel kit you have installed on your xmr?

[@REBELRIDERS]

Honestly I wouldn’t mess around with just a clutch kit on a XMR. I’d go with full QSC STM clutching

[@PowerModzOfficial]

I try everything

[@REBELRIDERS]

PowerModz understood but the can am factory clutching is less than adequate. And quiet different than Polaris clutching Polaris clutches there machines extremely well and respond well to clutch kits. if its with a stock primary, you are wasting your time. The stock primary is flawed just by design. The inside sheave only is driven by the crank and outside sheave just goes along on the ride. BIG flaw, you smoke belts like crazy and you get lots of slippage. And the other big thing is that you CAN NOT tune stock clutching to shift out rpm, That is where the engine makes the most power at. With a clutch kit you can not tune to shift out either. And if you can not do that, then your leaving hp on the line you will not see on the rear wheels. Primary needs to be a aftermarket primary before you go to a heavier stock secondary spring. This is done for the tuning of that aftermarket primary. Mostly for bigger tire machines that will see more mud then faster trail riding.

Everyone has a preference in machines like they do in caliber of rifles. Moose hunters usually shoot the 300 win mag for moose or the 338 win mag. But then you get into the ultra mags which are just over kill. Depending on where you ride determines size of motor and brand.

It seems people are getting stupider and even my old shooting range is now full of non backstop shooters getting recorded shooting rapid fire in there tactacool gear?? and sending bullets in the woods were kids ride there bikes (the back stop) is the trail head just dum people get shot all the time and i might be 1 some day with all the dum moving up here every year more dumb.

I might be a brp lover again soon i dont like there advets for all the plastic gimmickry and plastic doors for like more than 3000$ every acc they make is so over priced it is nuts and replacement parts are 2--3 times the price of a polaris parts but i do like there 6x6 polaris dropped the ball in work machines lately.
