Bike lost all the oil and went into limp mode...any suggestions as to where to start looking for the leak? Also where do I find the drain plug? Thanks

Download your free service manual from the site here, it'll have all the info you need. Your drain plug can be a head-scratcher at first, here's a pic I took of mine:

Found my problem...timing chain tensioner backed off and blew spring and all off the bike...great bike but a pain in the arse to get to anything lol

We've read of that happening before, dang. Front one's not bad, rear one's a PITA yeah

Pita is an understatement!

Pita is an understatement!

Don't have a clutch puller tool for primary what can I use instead?

Primary you need a special puller. Don't buy cheap we've seen disasters. There sre stories right here on this web site. I would suggest only the Can Am tool but that's me 😉

Yup the proper puller is cheap compared to the alternative.

I removed the exhaust when I fixed the rear chain tensioner on my ATV as I didn't want to go through the clutches' route.

Might be the route I take to if I can't get a proper puller...was it difficult?

Regardless of the approach you choose for the chain tensioner work, just a reminder that a puller is required anyways for maintenance work on the one way bearing. Which is something that has to be done regularly.

Thanks guess I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get one...cheers

If wasn't difficult. Just time consuming, but I would say simpler and less risky compared to pulling clutch components and then torqueing things back to spec.

Are the 450s different than the rest because as far as I know, you can access the one-way bearing by just loosening the primary bolt and removing the outer sheave and then voila the one-way bearing is there and ready for service.

 

[Tozguy]

OOPS xsever is right, no puller needed to service one way.
Thanks for setting me straight. Apology to sniper.
