2009 Can am renegade 800 X

[raymonday1115]

Hey I just bought a can am renegade 800 X with a pretty aggressive tuner and 29.5 outlaws. I'm wondering how long I can expect it to last if it is well taken care of. All the usual wear items have been done and the quad has just under 3000km.

 

Thanks in advance

Depends on how and where you ride it.  With a lot of mud and water use Can Am's don't do so well.  The wiring harness is ran terribly at the front and is bad about wearing holes in the harness, belts are garbage if they get wet.  They just aren't as reliable as a Honda.  However, they do haul as*.  Way more as* than a Honda.  So to answer the question: who knows.

It's ridin hard but well taken care of oil changes every spring and fall always washed after use. And I'm not scared to replace wear items before they are totally worn out. I also only run premium fuel in it.

Can't beat the giddyup of a Can Am.  Check out MudPuppy on Youtube for a run down of the issues he had with a XMR1000.  Can Ams all use the same harness and have common issues.  They're not bad at all, you just have to be prepared to do a lot of fixing if you really run them hard.

It was around that year they had a problem with cam chain guides wearing out. It would be nice to know if yours has the updated ones already.

Good idea to keep the u-joints greased regularly and keep an eye on the brake pads as they wear out quickly.
