Question about can am outlander 800

[Wayne McKenzie]

Hello all. New to the forum from Australia. Ive just purchased a 2007 Outlander 800 with a broken cam chain on the front cylinder. Is this a common thing. I am just about to order the bits I need and would be interested in thoughts where I should order them from. Parts are expensive over here. I would also like to know if the retaining bolt on the magneto is RH or LH thread as my manual doesn't say. Thanks for any advice

Welcome to QUADCRAZY! I moved your topic to the Can-Am forum. I usually check Amazon for all my stuff and then compare other sites.

I believe that's common and can-am had an update for that. I've read on other forums that it can be common and suggesting those that haven't changed the factory chain do so.

Thanks mate. I was hoping to just change one chain but looks like I better change both. I bought the quad cheap so I'm prepared to spend a few bucks. I must say Ive owned a TRX Honda for 12 years and now have a 400 Grizzly and have had no issues. I might fix the Can Am and sell it as the places I use them can give you a long walk home. Thanks again
