Doesn't look good BRPFan.

Plus unlike other manufacturers it is highly adaptive. There a different programs that it automativcally adjusts for like when you go from 2wd to 4wd, hi to lo etc. It also adjusts imput as speed increases. Plus it is tough.
As i said i have had it since Febuary and raced the crap out of it and not had one single issue.
For those of you wondering about retro fitting the power steering to an older model. Unfortunately it can't be done. Frames are different bc they incorporate the mounting tabs needed to attach unit. Also the magnetos in the other quads aren't big enough to power the PS unit at low rpms. The magnetos in the 10 model will not fit in previous years models. It is 2 large. There are some internal changes for 2010 to allow fitment.

ATVBoy, which dealership in east TN has gotten some 2010's in stock? Our dealer here in Nashville is clueless, I asked the other day and he said he wasn't sure, but maybe by October...I'd love to get a new Max Ltd. in Red (I want the PS and Air Ride...)
Please let me know so I can give them a hollar...Thanks, OD

Our local dealer has 2010 Can Am's in stock. I started an Outlander 650 that had EPS and turned the handlebars from lock to lock with one finger, with the ATV just sitting still in the showroom. The power steering appears to be much better than the Yamaha version that requires the ATV to be moving to have it work.
There were so many new yellow and black Can-Am's at our dealership that it looked like a schoolbus compound down there.

My dealer up here in the Great White North has some 2010's in, has a 650 Max XTP all set up with yellow sides and black front and rear, NICE. Not crazy about the wheels though. Took it around the yard PS nice, but never got far enough to really check it out as far as a big diff from mine. It would have been much easier anyway with stock tires compared to my skins. Nice looking overall.

There's a store much like that just off of Gasoline Alley in red deer Alberta. Maybe one of theirs?
How's the PS going to hold up once the undercarriage gets all gummed up with mud/grass/etc.? It scares me to know that you have to download special programs into something yer going to be tearing through the woods while sometimes up to your nuts in mud lol.
