Title: New toy/project
Post by: Blown F-150 on November 13, 2021, 01:30:09 PM: Went for a 14hr round trip on Thursday to pick up a new “project”. It was an “OK” deal, so I decided to jump on it and have tinker on over the weekend.

The truck was not happy with me and averaged an abysmal 11.3mpg over the 600+ mile trip, lol.

It’s a 2016 Can Am Outlander XMR 1000. It needs a fair amount of work, but nothing crazy.

So far I know it’s gonna need the following
New winch cable
Right rear axle
Right front brake caliper
Right front shock
Headlight wiring/connections
Normal key (he only found the “low power” key)
New fluids
Front diff seals
Wheel bearings
Brake pads
Floor boards due to tires being too big and hitting/breaking them

It’s possibly going to need a rear diff, but may just need seals. May also need some bushings or prop shaft joints, but don’t really know until it’s apart.

Cosmetically, it’s going to need a good clean up and I plan on modifying the bumpers before getting them powder coated. Some plastic will need a little love and zip ties too, lol.

Some parts are on order to kick off the work hopefully next weekend.

Title: Re: New toy/project
Post by: Blown F-150 on November 13, 2021, 05:46:26 PM: They do rub a little at full lock, so gotta be careful, lol. I’m going to resolve it by getting some thinner steel floor boards that they will clear.

Ordered up a bunch of seals, fluids and bearings to get it back up to snuff.

I go tomorrow to grab some random parts from a guy that’s parting one out. It would be great to have it together for a ride over Xmas and then sort out some of the less important stuff after.

Post by: Blown F-150 on November 14, 2021, 10:36:19 AM: I only had a few hours last night, but almost got to the diff and rear prop shaft removal.

Diff is roasted, so I’ll have to pull the trigger on a replacement. He completely wore through the rear brake pads and wrecked the caliper. I hope get some pieces off one being parted out to save some .

Post by: Kitzy on November 15, 2021, 09:26:04 PM: You don’t mess around! I hope everything comes in time.

I’m just catching up a bit on this now and really looking at pictures. Those tires are majorly stuffed in there. Haha. What is going on with that CV boot on that axle? Looks like the cv joint broke and twisted the boot up.

Do they still only have one brake lever? That’s always been a killer for me. It’s one of the reasons I like Japanese bikes. Ever since I had to walk one up a mountain after someone rolled it off the side and I couldn’t work the throttle and brake at the same time from standing beside it.

I wish I had the power those things out down though. It’s gonna be fun!

Title: Re: New toy/project
Post by: Blown F-150 on November 15, 2021, 09:59:25 PM: He snapped the CV and broke the rear diff on the same ride, lol. I'm sure the 32" tires didn't help :uugly: From what I can tell, the pinion bearing started to fail and then it took out the gearset. The Axle looks like a cheap Lake Country one, they don't take much to snap. The rear on the other side looks like a Rhino Axle and both fronts look like Rhino axles too.

Only one brake lever like Polaris, really not a huge fan of that and like you, I prefer to be able to control the front or rear brake independently, but it is, what it is.

I ordered a new OEM replacement shock for the front and that was pricey, but less than doing a set of aftermarket ones. I just want to get it cleaned up a little bit and get all the mechanical crap done, then get it our for a little ride. Then, the rest of the cosmetic stuff can be done as time and budget allows.

I hope you and the Wife are enjoying the trip!

Post by: Kitzy on November 17, 2021, 08:16:27 AM: Having a great time! Thanks!

My SxS has one rhino 2.0 axle on it. They’re pricey. Replace as you go. I didn’t snap mine. I just heard the tell tale clicking they it was on its way out. Better to get ahead of the break than be left stuck in the woods. It was a rear too.

First major part arrived! Mud ‘N Wheels “Torque Series” rear diff. Upgraded components over stock. From what I’ve been told, I’ll never have to worry about it again.

Post by: Blown F-150 on November 27, 2021, 07:52:43 PM: Knocked off a few little things, so getting a little bit closer to being done.

Finished up the rear prop shaft. New U-Joints and a new wear ring. Got it and the rear diff back in.

Also managed to get the new wheel bearings in the rear swing arms. What a pain, they were super tight. The PO ran right through the brake pads, lol. Glad I got everything for the brakes to get them back up to snuff.

Next up was to start to tear into the front. I got the winch out and it was in rougher shape than I hoped. With the bike being over a 1000lbs, I know a winch is pretty essential should I get stuck somewhere. In the end there was a sale on Warn replacement “cores”, so now one is on order.

I also pulled out the front axles, which will now become spares and new ones will go back in. The front diff fluid looked pretty good and free of water. The seals were wearing a bit, so I have a new seal kit coming. The factory “Visco-Lock” front LSD is less than ideal and has to go. Torq locker will go in and I’ll have much more confidence in the mud with it.

Until more parts come in, the focus will be some cleaning and organizing. If everything comes on time, a Xmas ride should go as planned.

Visco lock sucks. I have it. It hasn’t let me down but I also haven’t tried any extreme crawling and I generally stay out of the mud with it. I don’t know why but I don’t trust SxSs in the mud like I do ATVs.

I really don’t think that thing will give you any issues in the mud. I’ve been stuck in the mud plenty of times with my Grizzly but I don’t ride alone. The two things I would change if I rode alone is I would get a winch and I would avoid mud and water holes. Haha

There is mud INSIDE the headlights. I was going to splurge on the Nuetrino lights, but decided to hold off in case this thing has any more surprises.

I rubbed around the inside a little to make the dirt stand out better for a pic. I’ve never seen this before, he must have knocked out the bulbs or something.

Post by: Blown F-150 on December 14, 2021, 01:56:00 AM: Got some stuff done today, so close, just need a few plastic parts to show up and I can wrap it up.

New winch installed with new synthetic line. I’m a little Leary to be honest about not going with steel cable, but we’ll see how it does.

The big project for the day were the headlights. What a pain in the butt. A couple of tabs for the housings were broken, so JB Weld to the rescue,

I was able to use a baby bottle brush to get the insides of the lights cleaned up pretty well and then used the heat gun to get all the moisture out. Assembly was straight forward and the new LED bulbs seem to work pretty well. I was having a little panic as the high beams wouldn’t work no matter what I did. A quick google session and it’s pretty common for the switches to fail. I was able to get it apart and free up the contact that was stuck. So now all the headlights are installed and are functional. Better than the ONE that was working when I got the bike.

Most of the front is also back together now, just the front right brake caliper and pads remain. It took a bit of messing around to get the upper ball joints tight as they kept spinning. Eventually with a little persuasion I was able to get it seated and then could tight the nut. New tie rods and axles went in perfectly.

Next up while waiting for some plastic bits to arrive will be the floor boards and front right caliper. Hopefully I can tackle them tomorrow night.

Is that a picture of the headlight switch. I have the same problem on my Maverick. The high beam switch is bad so it takes some fussing to get them to turn on. I don’t use them really so it’s not big deal.

I think it’s probably fairly common for dirt to get in those light housing. I don’t think it would take much especially with the extreme temperature swing of hitting water holes to cause those seals to let something in.

He was missing one of the bulbs, so that one was very dirty, lol.

He shot me a link for a known good aftermarket one and it was only $35! So if it works out, I’ll be all in on it for $435, so less than I paid for the floor boards on the Can Am.

We also took the family to the Can Am dealer and picked up good helmets for everyone (except me, I already have a decent one…or three).

The trailer purchase has been a long time in the making, like 3 years or so. I put down half and financed the rest so I didn’t take to big of a hit to the wallet over the holiday season.

Lol, He’s a good size for his age. Turns 6 at the end of the month and is 69lbs and 49” tall.

The handle bars on the bike or chest height for me standing beside it and I’m 6’2”, so it’s a pretty big quad. Weighs over a 1000lbs. Far cry from the 250lb trike of my youth.

Post by: Blown F-150 on January 09, 2022, 11:15:08 AM: Next up is dealing with the issues caused by this thing running hot.

The PO got this thing pretty hot due to a slip on exhaust and the stock lean tune. To remedy, aluminum valve covers, water necks and a DynoJet Tuner are on order. A custom tune from a local shop is only $60, so I work with them on a tune.

Once that’s done, I will bite the bullet on the passenger seat ($800) and put better fasteners in to hold the floor boards down. I’m debating doing a couple modifications to the floorboards and getting them re-powder coated.

Post by: Kitzy on January 10, 2022, 03:53:23 PM: The tune should wake the bike up and fix that lean issue.

Man, seats are expensive. I actually refuse to ride 2up. I guess I’d you’re using it to get from point A to point B it’s not so bad but I like to get air, slide corners and do technical riding and none of that is possible, safely atleast, with a passenger. Mud is another story but I think I’ve left that behind me for the most part. I like slick muddy areas but not so much mud holes. Mud holes I save for the trip back.

I'll mostly be just cruising around exploring trails when there is a passenger on the back anyway. The suspension travel up front on this thing is pretty lacking, so no jumping for me.

I was just completely floored when I saw the price on the seat, it shouldn't even be half that cost. I know I've already spent that amount of money on other crap, but it's just me being hopeful that I can find somethin used.

Also ordered up the Boyesen high flow water pump to add at the same time I do the other bits. The tuner, Valve Covers and Water necks have shown up already, just need some o-rings and gaskets to show up.

Post by: Blown F-150 on January 11, 2022, 11:28:06 PM: A few things are here, just waiting on a couple o-rings and gaskets from BRP. I may hold out for the Boyesen water pump, but we’ll see how patient I am.

The base custom tune is also in my inbox ready to load up.

After some debate I decided to get a clutch kit and a new belt. With the bigger tires, it just doesn’t rev out like it should and I’m sure the little bit of elevation is neutering it as well. The combo of the tuner and clutch kit should really wake it up.

Actually yes, it was heavily considered, I don’t need 32’s. The main reason I stuck with them was cost. The floor boards were damaged and needed to be replaced anyway, so I could get aftermarket cheaper that cleared the 32’s than OEM and used OEM were non-existent. That paired with it having 15” wheel instead of the usual 14”, smaller tires were not cheap and finding a buyer for these kinda tough.

They will probably stay until they are wore out Or I get a different bike, lol.

Post by: Blown F-150 on January 19, 2022, 10:27:05 PM: All the bits and pieces have arrived other than the water pump.
I went ahead and bought the stupid expensive OEM passenger seat too, the cost on that drives me nuts for some reason. It's currently in pieces, but should have it together for a test drive this weekend.
Plan is to do:
Full rebuild on Primary and Secondary clutches
Clutch Kit (weights/springs for the bigger tires)
New OEM Upgraded Belt
Aluminum Valve Covers
Aluminum Water necks
DynoJet Programmer with Custom Tune
New Plugs
Timing Chain tensioner O-rings (small engine folks will know what I'm talking about)

That really just leaves the Water Pump when it shows up and the back-ordered fender flare. I'm still thinking I will do some "mods" to the floor boards to better suit my OCD and get them powder coated properly. Maybe in a couple months.

Future plans will be some hand/thumb warmers for driver and passenger and some nice Bumper end caps that are metal and not craptastic plastic like OEM. Possibly a nice box for the back and a jerry can, we'll see what comes up on Market Place.

Post by: Blown F-150 on January 21, 2022, 11:46:35 AM: Well, other than an hours worth of cleaning yielded a still dirty motor, I’m happy with the progress made last night.

Valve cover swapped
Water necks swapped
Plugs swapped
O-rings replaced
Exhaust and shields back on
Tuner wired in

Tonight I hope to wrap up the clutches and get the coolant back in it and button up all the panels. It’s supposed to be nice this weekend, so it would be great to go out for a ride.

Clutches rebuilt and installed with clutch kit, tune loads up and fired the bike up, all looks good so far. All the plastics are back on and new fasteners for the floor boards. Pretty happy I could get it done tonight. Hopefully a ride tomorrow or Sunday.

I see that the front shock (original one) is leaking. Hopefully I can find a seal kit easy and then I’ll rebuild. I should have all the tools needed to get it done.

Post by: Kitzy on January 22, 2022, 07:22:14 AM: I found the clutch kit on the grizzly to be pretty easy. I didn’t mess with the primary though. I only pulled the secondary off and apart. I did new spring, weights, I slugged the wet clutch and ultimately ended up shimming it as well to get the belt to ride a little deeper for more torque because I didn’t want to send the sheave out to be milled. The side by side gave me a bit of a hard time and that was a direct secondary swap with all new parts. I don’t remember the problem I had though. Probably because it was cold and dark and I was out of town when I did it.

I did the primary clutch kit so arms and spring and then also replaced all the rollers which was a pain.

The secondary got a new helix and spring. It was just a major pain to re-install. It took everything I had to compress the spring and get the bolt in to hold it on.

Post by: Blown F-150 on January 23, 2022, 08:00:34 PM: Well, you guys sure would have had a good laugh at my expense today!
Got a little too brave and ended up paying the price. We took the trailer and quad out to a local off road area today. The fun happened when I attempted to climb a very icy hill. I made it up the one before just fine and figured I would push my luck. Unfortunately I did not bring my chains like a smart person would!

Made it most of the way up and then stopped and then started to slide backwards. Totally jackknifed the trailer and then had to figure out what the heck I was going to do. After looking things over, I found a tree to hook the winch rope to and then used the winch to pull up and straighten out. Then pulled the bike out of the trailer. After quickly realizing the road was much of the same a head, I used the winch as an anchor while letting it out and backing down. As I couldn’t really steer against the pull of the winch, I had to use the quads winch to pull the trailer straight a couple of times.

After doing three cycles of resetting the winch cable as I went down the hill, I got to somewhere I could turn around.

I’m VERY thankful for the ADD bumper, it took the hit like a champ and didn’t flex, so the truck body was un harmed. The trailer took a sizeable dent, so I’ll have to fix that. All in all, it was a bone head move, but at least I had enough gear to get out of it by myself.

A couple nice guys controlled traffic while I took care of the mess.

Man I’ve made so many boneheaded moves, I feel for ya. Those moments of regret. Looking at that actually gave me that same feeling I’ve had many times. Just wishing I would have done something different.

I’m glad you got out and had some fun though. You’ll fix it and forget it soon enough.

Post by: Kitzy on January 25, 2022, 02:03:35 PM: My nephew is frightened of anything loud. My sister has ruined that kid. He’s 7 and he is afraid of the go kart my dad built him. Afraid of the four wheelers and the SxS. He’ll ride in the SxS but only if you tell him to and he doesn’t seem all that thrilled by it. Doesn’t care about the tractor. Hell, me and my dad want to teach him gun safety and how to shoot but my sister wants no part of it and if he sees a gun he runs out of the room. Give him an iPad and he’s a happy camper. So I love seeing stuff like this. It’s exactly what kids should be doing. Getting outside. Getting dirty. Interacting with others.

On a side note, my SxS has been sitting for a while. Last time I moved it I had a check engine light come on. Finally got around to looking at it. It’s a code for a knock sensor. Going to swap them and see what happens.

Post by: Blown F-150 on January 25, 2022, 02:20:16 PM: Knock sensors are pretty common from what I was told. Make sure everything is clean on the mating surfaces and sometimes they use a special silicone where the sensor mates to the head.

Maybe something for next year, but we went and had a look at the new Yamaha Wolverine RMAX 4. It checks every box we need and isn't as long as a school bus. I think having the quad and a SxS will be ideal for what we want to do.

The RMax are nice. Those rear seats are awkward but seeing as you won’t be reckless with the kids it shouldn’t matter. You’re right though. All the others are limousines. I’ve seen a few RMax on the trails. Never in action though. Mainly just passed them going in other directions. I’ve never heard anything bad about them. Definitely not a crazy turbo model like the others have out but you can’t match Yamahas reliability.

Post by: Blown F-150 on February 05, 2022, 12:19:56 AM: Over the week a few bits came in, so I hope to get to work on it over the weekend.

Boyesen water pump
Left rear axle (the one I didn’t replace is clicking)
Front right fender flair that was on back order
Hand/thumb warmer kit
Seal kit for the front shock that I didn’t buy new.
Winch bump to keep the hook from messing up the fairlead.

I have seal kits for the rear shocks, but I’ll wait a bit before rebuilding them. They seem fine right now.

I’ll rebuild the rears eventually, but for now, they are just going to get a nitrogen re-charge.

I was going to get the water pump done too, but found a coolant hose that was almost wore through. I’ll get a new one so I only have to dump the coolant once.

They sure didn’t make it easy to get the OEM grips off!

Last axle and last fender flare swapped out tonight. I also re-charged the rear shocks, they had a decent charge still in them, so I don’t feel too bad about waiting to rebuild.

I may try to take the kiddos for a little ride tomorrow or may work on the trailer. We’ll see what happens.

Yeah. It’s been almost 5 months since the accident and he still can’t chew a lot of food. He broke clean through his jaw almost dead center. The left and right side weren’t even lined up. He was a mess when I got to him. Her head was caved in and she was unconscious. She recovered but it seems like she’s got a long road of physical therapy ahead of her. Not sure what her status is now because he broke up with her not long after for unrelated reasons.

So yeah, wear seat belts when riding, even if it’s on your own property. And if you have crappy regular seat belts, swap in some harnesses. That should always be mod number one!

I love my grizzly though. Cassie loves hers and said she will never sell it. As much as I love mine, I could probs lay sell it if I got the itch for something different. It’s just so damn fun and reliable though.

I think I would be looking at about $5k for these to buy them new and picked these up for $1800. So I should be able to sell and break even or make a few bucks if we don't use them. Just have to make a relatively simple bracket for the rear anti-flip bars.

New SxS have gotten out of hand the last couple years. I’m sure lately some of it is inflation but I think as technology is getting better, it’s being implemented more and it’s showing in their cost. My neighbor was telling his buddy bought a brand new Rzr launch edition and it was like $46,000. $30,000-$35,000 is almost getting normal for some of these turbo machines out there. That’s the only thing holding me back from wanting to sell the SxS. I don’t know what the market will be and if Ill be able to get another one. The camper I dont much care about.

I had to replace 33 bearings in the idler wheels, the problem being that they try to make it so you have to replace the whole wheel. The wheels are $79 each…you do the math. I said to heck with that and got creative. I took a 3” hole saw, drilled out the side of the idler wheels, pressed out the bearings, replaced and then used a large washer and screws to act as a retainer to hold it together again. Seems to be doing the trick, first ride out will confirm!

Then it rained most of the day yesterday, so we spent it inside. I also put my back out, which really sucks, but we are having a nice visit with friends and family at least.

Took the quad out for a little exploring today.

We’ll visit today and the load up to head back tomorrow.

A little more mobile today, but still pretty darn stiff. We are going to attempt to go for a little ride tomorrow before we pack up to start the trip back on Friday.

I was able to get it stuck though. I’m pretty happy it was so close to the road. I just grabbed the truck and then hooked up the quad winch. I did have to do some shoveling though. First attempt to winch out, just resulted in dragging the truck towards the quad, lol.

Post by: Blown F-150 on March 26, 2022, 08:15:42 AM: I pulled a couple of the old Yamahas out of the container and we were able to get out for a short ride, maybe 60 miles all in. The snow was so warm and soft that we were sinking in spots, even on the groomed trail. It sure was nice to get out though.

There were major forest fires in the area last summer, it was good to see that the camps survived, mostly thanks to the water bombers keeping them wet. This area of the trail usually had the trees from each side of the trail touching eachother.

Post by: Blown F-150 on April 09, 2022, 08:25:06 AM: Tracks are coming off and going up for sale. I want to get the longer tracks for next winter, to be able to go a few more places. They were pretty darn fun and now I need more, lol.

If the weather holds out, I’ll take the kids for a little ride tomorrow and see how sloppy our trails have gotten over the past few weeks.
