My First Can Am a Commander 800R


Recommended Posts

I put about 25 easy miles on it this weekend to break it in. The power is very noticable over the teryx and I love the way the seating is laid out. The is alot of space and almost everything is adjustable.

The only two faults I could find so far is that the shocks are set too stiff and there is a werid squeek somewhere on the SXS.

Thanks I went with the 800 because it has been tested and proven for many years and can am even noted 18mpg but I will believe that when I see it. If I was racing the thing I would have went with the 1000 but for a trail bike it should have plenty of power.

Your Cat is gonna be jealous !!:laugh:

Ya I think she is used to having other brands in the shop. The wildcat was my first choice but it is just too wide. She has seen her share of trail riding but now with more and more runs through the pit the Cat is just pretty much set up for WOT runs through the mud pit. I still trail ride it sometimes but the high center of gravity makes off camber really hard to navigate.

Thanks so far so good. I am almost at 1000 miles on it so far.

So after 1000+ miles how do you feel about the SxS? Good and bad? I looked at them and thought that it was a bumpier ride than the quad. Just my take using it on a demo trail.

Like to hear other thoughts.

      My 2008 can-am Outlander 800r is having hard shifting issues. Does anyone have a fix for this ?

      Hi everyone,
      Outlander 2006 400 XT i have replace the startor cover and right after i did that the oil light is on and not turn off, i check the wires and checked the oil level, everything seem to be normal quad is starting without any problem and rev just fine. i did not want to ride it since im not sure if it is faulty sensor or not so just be safe i did not let it run more the a minute or so. 
      I have read in the owner manual that i need to clean the oil strainer every 200hr unfortunately i never did that, my service manual that i have does not even indicate of such a thing. so i did some search around and it seem like canam split the manual into 3 parts
      owner manual
      service manual
      engine manual
      I have the first 2 but i can not find the last one, part number 219100232. If someone can guide me where do i find the oil strainer so i can clean it i will appreciate it.   im going to do an oil pressure test tomorrow to check how many PSI i have, just to make sure.
      Thanks

      What are your riding location preferences? Mud Park? Personal Trails? Public Land?

      I am in the process of puting it back together after replacing the DPS gearbox.
      The manual I have states that it will need to be flashed by a dealer. Is this still true?
      Also , I have a mystery bolt That I cannot remember where it goes. M6x 70 or so.  Hex head with a flat washer.I will try to attach a pic.
      Pic is no go for now....Cox issue I will try again later
      TIA
