This video is an update to my recent short that I posted in reference to the Can-Am with only two hours, blowing white smoke and high engine temp.

The “hidden gem” is your shock preload adjustment. The notched collar on the shock has been ubiquitous on motorcycles/dirtbikes/ATVs/UTVs since the early 1970s. It’s *not* intended to be a “lift”. It’s intended to offset a heavy payload. I put my rear compression preload at the max setting because I normally have a trailer attached, but when it’s unloaded the ride is stiffer. Same as the shocks, you can also inflate your tires to 30 PSI to get an additional half-inch of lift, but the ride quality will similarly suffer unless you are at max load. 😂

Good to know thanks

I wished there were more videos on the HD7's. Everyone thinks that they need more horsepower, but they usually don't. You won't get more than two inches of added ground clearance by adjusting your spring rate. It will also give you a very firm ride if you adjust them all the way. Enjoy!

I agree. Most of the time its just to say i have 1000! HD7 is a beast! I love this thing. Thanks for your comment

Any updates on reliability? Considering the commander 700 crew. Does it have enough power?

[@ortizfarm]

@@Luk_3 ya, so far its been great! I had another issue. It was related to a gasket from factory. When they installed the thermostat they pinched the gasket. Since they its been great. Over 32 hours on unit. Power seems good. Does 60 mph fast enough for me

@@ortizfarm thanks! I think I’m gonna pull the trigger on the commander. I was researching Yamaha Vikings when I found your video on them. Desided to look at can am after you traded yours for a defender. Wanted something comfortable to cruise with my wife and 2 kids on the weekends but also work on the farm.

@@Luk_3 yes my wife and two daughters enjoy the Can-Am and also we have family come with and have nine people in it

I would’ve asked for a refund on the “dealer prep” fee. You probably paid $399 for dealer prep service, which demonstrably wasn’t completed.

It went back 2 weeks later for same issue. Not happy with the dealership
