Thanks for this detailed look! Sorry to hear about the issues you've had. We haven't had anything like this with our XMR. Our Pro HD7 did have a hose clamp issue which we caught pretty quick before getting out on the trail. Hope your dealer gets these things all sorted out for you. Also appreciate the closer look at your preferred suspension setup. Good job, dude. You deserve a million views on this vid. 👊💥🎉
Hey @dirttraxtv I’d like to point out another issue I found with my ATV that about got me into trouble, I’m curious if yours does the same thing. So while doing some trail riding, my buddies renegade went into limp mode. It took me a minute to notice, so I had to turn around on trail. The trails we ride are in the side of a mountain, so on the left side of the trail there is a bank, and on the right side there is a drop off. I decided to pull up on the bank then roll backwards to turn around. While rolling backwards in low, the 700 “blipped” the throttle causing me to just about flip over backwards. After noticing this I tried it again a few times (in a safer place) and sure enough if the machine rolls backwards in gear every time it will blip the throttle. Just wondering if yours does the same. From here on the machine will be in reverse before rolling backwards
Sorry to hear about all your problems that you ran into on yours. I got mine in June 2 haven't had one problem with it maybe yours was built on a Monday after a couple workers partied all weekend. It's a great machine you're gonna enjoy it🍻
Just bought my first ever ATV at the age of 60. I went with the Outlander 850 XT-P MAX and had the yellow bumpers changed out to black. I’ve driven it for a couple of hours and cannot believe how comfortable and easy it is to drive
Same here with age and ATV except i bought the 850 Max XT bumpers are black...love the ride it has...added a Can Am yoshimura slip on....sounds way better! Bought it in 2020 and no issues so far.
@@ProfessorCsATVs Believe me they have qc issues. We got a few maverick r and all of them had the wires disconnected from I believe the suspension position sensor. Simple fix just plug it in but ofc shouldn’t even be coming like that in the first place.
Depends on what your wanting it to do. They aren’t as reliable as Yamaha or Honda. But I would t call them shit either. This one had its QC issues, But the reliability hasn’t been an issue so far. (25 hours). I don’t have any big complaints out of modern Polaris reliability. Suzuki makes a quality product. It’s just not as refined as the other models. I think they really need to do a king quad update. If I didn’t want the XMR, and I was going to choose between the king quad, can-am 700, and sportsman 850, id probably choose the 700 again for the ride quality
Update: dropped off at the dealer for warranty. They replaced the intake tube but “could not find any issues with the ITC button or belt” the ITC button had randomly started working again after sitting at the dealer overnight. Brought it home a couple days later and began installing a winch (video coming soon). While installing the winch I found that the connector for the ITC button was not secured or “clicked in” completely. Shows the dealer didn’t even attempt to diagnose the issue. They said the belt noise was normal, guess we will see if anything happens in the future there. Found a few other issues while installing the winch. CVT exhaust tubes were missing several push pins. You can see that in my upcoming winch video
I recently bought a 2020 can am outlander 570 xmr with 264 miles. 4 months later, 1600 miles. We ride a lot. The only issue we've had, the fuse for speedometer/power steering wiggled loose. The noise you speak of, ours does the same thing. Doesn't affect the machine at all. We grew up on chain driven machines, so the belt is a new thing for us. Not used to the funny sounds yet. I believe Honda is the last shaft driven machine on the market. The machine we own is probably the best yet to date. As far as the missing push pins, loose clamps, maybe it is a Monday or Friday quad. Simple fixes for a great ride
@@stevedorsey6280 when your talking about a somewhat premium ATV, being built on a Monday or Friday isn’t an excuse. I would have bought used if I wanted those problems. With that being said, i had a 2017 570 XMR that I really enjoyed. Good machine. Ride quality was rough though. Keep the rear diff oil changed. If you ride in mud, keep an eye on the pinion seal. They like to let water in and kill the pinion bearing.
I bought a 22 Outlander brand new and it was garbage. I can't even list the issues. Cheap plastics, brakes, noises in the front diff, overheating, on and on.
I sorry to hear that about your brand new bike. Hopefully it works out for you. I considered a Can am but decided to get the Honda Rubicon 520 instead. I don’t need a fast bike just something that hopefully lasts 20 years on my farm. My Honda before that is a 2002 350 rancher and and still kicking.
What parts of Alabama are you from? I am from the Birmingham area. I just bought a 4 Wheeler last year. I was looking between a Can Am and a CFmoto I ended getting a Cforce 500 which I like so far, but I still want to get an Outlander XMR one day. It's just hard to justify 10 grand on a toy right now haha. The 700 XMR does look nice I wish I could swing it, but gotta get the Cforce paid off then the wife wants a side by side before we get another 4 wheeler.
Thanks for going over all this stuff and making this video. I'm considering a 700 but have concerns about exactly this kind of stuff. Grizzly 700 would be my first choice but you can't buy them here in CA anymore because this state is run by morons. Can Am is the only manufacturer you can buy an 800+ machine from period here now. The King Quad 750 is still an option here as well. The ride quality, comfort, and power steering are much better on the Can Am though.
After a few months of owning it, I’ve worked out most of the kinks and have really enjoyed it. It seems to be a good machine underneath all the QC issues. One of the best riding ATV’s I’ve ridden
Who says they didn’t? Like a connector on the handlebars or a snorkel tube can’t get yanked while it’s sitting around on the showroom floor or during initial delivery?
Overall it’s a good machine. Just was aggravated with the Quality control issues. If you buy one look it over very well before leaving the dealer. Mine was an early vin so hopefully they have corrected the issues by now. The ride quality, handling, styling, and reliability of the machine have been great after roughly 25 hours of owning it. The bang for the buck is good on this machine. Again, my biggest complaints were with quality control issues.
Sorry you have these problems. I’ve had 4 Polaris’ over the years and heard nothing but they are junk. I had great luck with all 4 of them. Recently I bought a Grizzly 700 SE XLT. It now has almost 1200 miles on it and has been flawless in operation. Fit and finish on the headlight area leaves something to be desired. When it comes to power, handling and ride it won’t touch my old Polaris’. I’ve always been concerned about drive belts as I ruined a couple (driver error). So I went with the ultramatic from Yamaha as they have a 10 year belt warranty. Not that I expect it to last that long but obviously it’s a better system than the others. Hopefully you have a good dealer as this will help take the sting out of these problems.
Sorry to hear about the issues you are having and hope you get them sorted. I have 975 km (600 miles) on my Pro XU HD7 since June with no issues so far. I would recommend it for sure.
@@paulfairweather9977 I sold it around 25 hours. Other than items listed, it never gave any trouble after those were corrected. With that being said, unless you need an XMR for mud/water the grizzly is a better machine IMO. The factory tires are great for trail riding but suck in the mud/water, so if that’s how you plan to ride, budget for different tires. Overall it’s a decent machine. But check it over throughly before leaving the dealership.
The grizzly is an amazing machine, if your not riding in deep mud or water. That’s what I would recommend. The real benefits of this machine over the Yamaha are the ultra-low low range, and the fact that it’s factory intake and CVT snorkeled and radiator relocated. (Even though they forgot the intake snorkel)
@@ProfessorCsATVs thanks for the info. I'd mainly be using it for running errands around the homestead and plowing the driveway. Maybe occasionally for hunting. Happy for any other recommendations. I'll take a look at the Grizzly.
@@ProfessorCsATVsthe grizzly will eat them for a snack over rough terrain in snow ..seen it with my own eyes . The burp couldn't get any lock up unless your high throttle making it useless while the yammys putted through there not even slipping a tire..we all thought the burp didn't have it in 4 wheel drive but they did but the visco lockup won't happen unless your into the throttle by that time it's spun out and stuck
@@jfk19780 don’t have much snow down here in Alabama so I can’t really talk to how it does in those conditions. I’ve owned a couple grizzlies in my day and I think they are pretty comparable. This 700 doesn’t have the old visco lock. It has the new 4Lok diff that’s selectable, like the grizzly. Seems to work great.
These machines are assembled in Juarez, Mexico 🇲🇽 . I have been seeing this with these new machines. I have seen loose hose clamps, bolts hanging out of the engine housing, and what you are describing right there. Quality control seems quite lacking at this Plant in Juarez, Mexico 🇲🇽. They had a major fire there in 2021 you can see it on RU-vid. The engineering side of things maybe okay, but the assembly plant needs much better training, and better management. They simply may not care, it’s in Juarez, Mexico 🇲🇽. I have worked in manufacturing, and when you have workers who don’t care much about what they send out, quality control suffers, I have seen it with my own eyes. Don’t tend to see this with the Japanese plants here in America 🇺🇸. There are supposed to be quality inspections before they leave the plant. Seems they aren’t doing a proper job.
@@hadi111111 Can Am builds their ATVS in Mexico in Juarez, Mexico. I would also like to add the motor mounts are breaking on these machines, and some people are already replacing the tie rods more than once within the first year. I said that to correct what I said before that the engineering wasn’t to blame, but thin metal, a lack of quality welds, corners Can Am took to save costs wrongs the buyer. Rotax is okay, the engine is reliable enough, assuming it’s assembled properly. Can Am resorted to manufacturing their machines in Mexico for cheap labor by unskilled, inexperienced workers. It’s not really the laborers fault, though it is at the same time. It’s Can Am corporate, or BRP that want the profits of cheap labor. The engineering side of things again we see Can Am placed a relatively good engine with too much horsepower, and torque on the wrong kind of chassis. You can’t have all that weight, and power on a weak frame, something is going to break. You can’t have workers putting things together like these machines, that barely understand how, again it’s the management of the whole operation. They host these big unveiling presentations, and get you to focus on what they want you to pay attention to, and not what they cheat the buyer on. Now we see where they cut costs, and now people are stuck paying a lot of money for a machine that has issues that are still coming in.
All my family rides is can am and the squeaking is normal it’s a can am thing my dads had can am since they came out with the 800 and rode them ever since and he’s had a lot of them and I’m on my 5th one and they all have squeaked
Bought a Can Am 450 6x6 xu+ 2023 mod in November 2023, exhaust shield is already loose it seems...making a light rattling sound when revving...a lot of things on the wrong side on Can Am atv's lately
you gotta slow down ur just breaking the thing 3.8 hours already in sport mode pall i bet when it had 0.5 hours u were just wide open all engines gonna blow at 15hours max u probaly had it in neutral bouncing off the rev limiter to warm it up thats why ur belt is gone and squeaking already
I actually was impressed with the trail handling characteristics of the OEM tires, they ride nice and have good traction. I would consider them a mud focused All terrain. However when it comes to the soupy stuff, they just don’t bite. I switched over to a set of 30” Silverbacks I had laying around and the machine came alive. I’m keeping the stocks as my “trail” tires, and the silverbacks as my “mud” tires
Those are hardly major issue. Minor at best. A major issue is a hole in the side of the block. I own a pro 700 hunting edition, my belt makes the same noise I think it’s because these new quads are so quiet we can hear more clutch noises
Wether you call it major or not, the reality of the situation is had I not noticed the issue with the snorkel and tried to do XMR things, it would result in engine damage. We spend good money on these products and expect a quality product in return. Issues like these on a brand new machine is unacceptable in my opinion.
@@ProfessorCsATVswarranty would have covered repairs if you had broken it and I’m sure your owners manual tells you to check the snorkels condition before and after doing “xmr” things. Spending big money that you did on something like this actually guarantees something like a squeaking belt, loose connection or missing snorkel tube is going to be at most, a minor inconvenience for you to bear. It’s not like it will cost you anything if the engine locks up or the belt flys off. At most you gotta make one phone call and stop by the dealer a few times. Boo who 😭 If that is major anything to you, you are definitely major extra. 👊
I have learned over the years to never buy the first year of a new quad !! There is always little things that go wrong !! I find that in the second or third year they have found and fixed most of the problems
Welcome to the wonderful world of Can Am. Where are you will now be entered into a close personal relationship with the dealer you bought that from. Their kids will probably be sending you a thank you letter because of all the money you’re going to have to spend for their college fund,as well as the owner will probably be sending you a thank you card for his boat payment and his Mercedes payment. Been down that road four times,never again. Yamaha turbo 1000. SSSE, Kawasaki brute force 750, Honda 500 Rubicon, YZ 250 FX, Suzuki Rmz, 450, KTM 150, KTM, 300, and several other bikes. The little bit of extra horsepower and suspension advantages that you get will soon wear very thin after about the 10th time you’ve been to the dealership for all kinds of problems. Good luck. If I was you, I would sell it now while you can still get something out of it.
