I think price still hurts them some. Lack of dealerships does not help. After riding an 800 Renagade , I think they need to spend less on adds and more on fine tuning it for the everyday rider. It was awesome going straight , but was lacking in the turning department. Over all I think they are on par with the competition.

I think it is the price and the attitude of most Can Am owners that make them the black sheep. SOME Can Am owners are the most arrognat pricks around.

Wow, things I guess with some has not changed much.

The Can-Am did not get much flack or their owners until BRP changed the name and started a major advertising campaign. I thought by now most would have grown out of it after several years had passed. Arrogance a strong word but could be used also towards the statement or statements that had been made time after time on this site and a few other sites by other Brand users.

I have not put a thread on here in a long time and was just testing the waters for a Can-Am Rider on this site. Stoopipbot you once said "Hey all them post are jut in fun, don't take em seriously on this site or ATV Fan. So I never take you Seriously !!The problem is some of the Can-Am /BRP users may. I think we are all proud of what we ride and think its great that some are fanatics about their Quads! LOL! So are we the BRP Can-Am Owners/Ryders .

Buck Billy , I liked your comments about the handling on the 800. Not sure if they can Tame it though yet because of all that Power is why it is so hard to handle it. I would disagree with the Advertising though . One, because it is not that easy and their sales would fall off and sell less due to the premium price they are asking. They need to advertise like they do. 2ND I think that all the Advertising they do is a great help in the the ATV world in promoting the Sport . They are dumping allot of $ everywhere and it really does help support all of those trying to make a living at this Sport which in-turn in the long run keeps cost down for others by not sacrificing funds they could spend elsewhere to improve their Quads.

I own a small business and I too gain from my competitors Advertising all the time.

Sorry this turned into a Blog , but I thinks its time that Riders out there stop attacking other Quads especially the BRP riders cause they do contribute allot more than we all know.

That is why I capitalized the word some. Not all of them are. The fact is they make great machines. I have ran inot lots of owners on the trails that are just rediculous. It doesn't matter if my quad goes through the same stuff they did, theirs is still better because it did it like this.... BLAH BLAH

The short time I was on QuadCrazy I have noticed everyone has been welcoming for the most part. I love to come online and see what is new here. Most will not treat you differently because of what ATV you ride. If you have respect for the site and those on it then they will return the same respect. I think that is true with any forum.

Now I can never understand brand bashing. I think it is mainly due to the brand loyal guys getting upset when another manufacturer comes out with a better ATV than their brand. I constantly hear this on the trail and it gets annoying fast. The funny part is that the guys that brag the most are the ones I am pulling back to the trailer at the end of the day. Each manufacturer has their good points and bad.

Heck...we have a forum moderator named Outlander...How much Can-Am/BRP friendlier can we get....:wink:

QUADCRAZY is different than other sites and would not put it in the same category. Pretty much, everyone here is nice, normal, and friendly. At least that's my opinion.

I agree, this site is pretty much free of brand bashing. I have the most out of date 450 sport quad available. I will never switch from Honda(unless it's a KTM) but I will not bash another brand. i will give my opinion on a certain model and I will explain why I dislike or like that quad.

You treat me with respect and i will do the same without hesitation.

I will tell you one thing.....can-am/bombardier has definitely earned my respect. I have always been a kawi/suzuki guy and i just recently picked up my first bombardier (ds 650). This has been by far the most reliable quad I've had. The engine is bulletproof and has plenty of balls. I was a little shaky at first about getting a bombardier due to lack of dealerships and lack of aftermarket parts for a 2000-2001 ds 650's. After riding the bike a few times those downfalls dont really matter to me anymore. The bike is awesome and is much better in the trails than I thought it would be. Definitely would recommend the ds 650 to any experienced rider that feels squished on any other bike.

Are you calling me an arrogant prick mike? I thought we were friends? :P

I do say my quad is better then any others, but mostly i'm just talking sh**. but it did suprise me in the Adelanto GP last Feb. I was in the top 5 in my class till i wrecked in the infield on the first lap....still finished 11th.

      Ordered one ATV, got shipped a different ATV.
      By WHALErn
      I ordered an ATV through ElectriRide a ( Pioneer 1500w Power E-Grizzly Electric ATV ), on February 13, 2024.  They ( ElectriRide ), ordered it from the manufacture on February 28, 2024. Not sure when it shipped, but it arrive here at my house on June 25, 2024.  I live in Hawaii.
      Unpacking it, I quickly became aware that this was not the ATV that I ordered.  The package had some damaged, but not major.  After unpacking it, it was very obvious that this was not the ATV that I had ordered, plus it was missing some a number of parts, namely the rear rack & no instruction or electrical circuit layout, just to name a few.  A couple of days later I found ( 2 ) small two burnt holes in the upper frame, right side, also.  Several days later I tried to charge the batteries on the ATV, after plugging it in for over 4  hours, “NO CHARGE” , I checked the charger’s output voltage, it read “ “ 0 “ volts, the charger needs to be replaced also.
      The next day, I reported all of this to ElectriRide, & they asked for photos, which I later that day send to them.  They said they would look into it and get back to me. For the last 2 1/2 weeks, I have been calling them (playing phone tag ) & emailing them, basically getting the same message back from them.  They sent me e-mails “ we will get back to you “ or “ Please rest assured that we are committed to resolving this matter to your satisfaction. “.  As of today, that message was 10 day ago, and it’s been 3 weeks after receiving the wrong ATV.  And 5 months from the time of ordering the ATV.
      The ATV that this looks the most similar/closest to the one that I received is the ( Pioneer 48v 1000w Adult ATV Electric ) in their catalog, but there are a number of differences to it also.  ( Mostly it’s a 1000 watts motor, not a 1500 watts motor ATV, plus a number of other things also ).  The suspension & wheels are completely different, along with some of the electrical components, and it was missing the rear rack also.  Along with some other minor things.
      I seem to be getting nowhere with communicating with them, (ElectriRide ) in getting this mix-up / changes resolved after calling / emailing them pretty much daily for over 3+ weeks, I am turning to you, the ATV community for any suggestions for helping me to solve my problem.
      Please leave any suggestion / ideas, you thing might help me solve this problem, or who to contact that might be able to help..

      Fuel pump still no go, 09 TRX420FPA
      By Topendcol
      First issue was fuel pump wont start once ignition has been turned on. Replaced the pump as I had one on hand, than noticed no power so replaced the fuel pump relay as that was were i traced the power to. Still nothing so further inspection looks like signal is coming from the PCM (FLR B20) but not switching the the brown wire to the fuel pump. Ive checked the operation of the bank angle sensor and it appears operational. Fuses and wiring all appear OK. The engine stop relay also tests OK. Ive been through the repair manual and diagrams but to no avail. Fully stumped, any tips would be helpful. Thanks
