Thinking about getting one. What are your thoughts on this machine? How is reliability? I will probably put some 29. 5 outlaws on it eventually as I like to play in the mud. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

[650XmRLito]

Very reliable Just don't Put A lot Of Abuse on it.!You might want an Rad relocate Kit & Do you Ride Deep Stuff Or Nothing sloppy.?

 

[Derek42]

Don't put alot of abuse on it? Why do you say that? I thought CAN-AMs were tough machines. I had zero issues with my Brute force 750.

 

[650XmRLito]

You know everything has it limits.!

 

[650XmRLito]

They are tough.! I Can Honestly say That.! Cause mines is A Stout Machine it's only a 650 just imagine what the 1000 can withstand.!What I'm trying to say Is Keep that fluids clean it'll take you longer in The long Run.!


Hopefully I cleared myslef.?

Do some research. In 2015 I believe I read that the Outlander 1000's are now getting the SMALLER transmission from the 800's to save money!
Might be fine, but not a nice thing BRP decided to do!

 

[Derek42]

Oh boy. I may just get another Brute force then

 

[Deadman]

Oh boy. I may just get another Brute force then

I don't think its "bad enough to get a Brute Force"! lol

 

[Derek42]

I was under the impression CAN-AMs are the toughest quad on the market.

 

[Deadman]

Toughest? Not sure how to answer that accurately because they are hands down the highest horsepower quads and that breaks parts in itself.

If you want a tough Quad, a Honda looks tough because it only has to manage 1/3 of the HP the Can am has.

If you drive realistic, the Can-am is durable, but most guys buy the big HP Can-ams to throw huge mud tires on them and then they snap all kinds of driveline parts from the stress and HP.

+1 what Deadman said........alot of it is how you maintain & use it, I don't beat the hell out of mine, probably baby it more than a lot of people, I came from a Grizzly & they're tough!

 

[luko]

I would go for the 800 outlander
yes a little less hp, but the 800s still have plenty of power, the 800s weigh less, same top speed and just a little bit cheaper

 

[Derek42]

Not wanting to go smaller. I don't beat my quads. Never had any issues with my Brute. I mostly trail ride with occasional mud hole. I've watches tons of videos on the 1000.

 

[Deadman]

Ya, I sure wouldn't want an 800 when the 1,000 is offered!

If you aren't going crazy with it, you will be fine. I have 1,500 hard trail miles on my Renegade 1000 XXC and all I really did maintenance wise was replace the rear sway bar bushings and rear brake pads. Those 2 issues are known minor fixes.

 

[MUDDINMIKE]

I have 1000 hard miles on my bike and a list of worn out parts....
brake pads, control arm bushings, all the rear sway bar bushings and mounts, shock bushings, steering stem spherical bushings, balljoints, tie rods and a radiator fan motor.

 

[Derek42]

So you guys are overall happy with yours? I do all my own maintenance so that's not a issue. But don't want to be fixing it every ride either.

 

[VenomLightning]

I love my Rene! Nothing I've had before compares to it, no complaints here, puts a smile on my face every time I start it up and hear that v twin growl.

 

[Tx1000XTP]

I just sold my 2011 800 XTP Outlander week or so ago, never had an issue at all, great machine, now i've got a new 2015 Outlander Max XTP, and all i do is ride them down logging roads, around the yard, etc. I dont go in deep mud holes, so i dont do any of that snorkel stuff. I think i should have great look with my 2015 aswell. I think you'll be very happy.

Im a Yamaha man at heard, always had Yamaha's, still do, i've got a Yamaha Viking side by side. Yamaha has never let me down, but nothing about the Grizzly made me want one, so that's why i tried my first Can-am in 2011, and went back to them when i sold it.

Have a 2015 XMR 1000 and LOVE IT! Have had only one issue with a rear axle from the factory...Having to wait for it to break before dealer will replace it under warranty. Other than that it's been great!
