Something to add, is if you blow your belt be sure to check snorkel vents for pieces before reassembling the clutch. You don't want to miss any the first time Hahaha. I've learned that the hard way of course

Advise from a fellow XMR owner. Each time you change a belt on a Can-Am you want to pull the clutches apart, blow them out good with compressed air then scuff each sheeve down with a scotch bright pad with soap and water. Up and down direction only until the surface is no longer shinny and has no marks in it. You really want to remove that glaze. The Maverick 212 belt is far superior to the standard belt. Break in is key with the new belt, give it about 5 heat cycles and allow it to cool down during those cycles, no full throttle or abrupt throttle jerking. If you follow all these steps the belt will last you a while. You did good to get 1,300km's on your factory belt.

Great video! Made about 6 trips from the garage to the laptop while trying to pull those plastics off! Can-am Tetris!

Yup, what a pain, that's why I did some mods to my side panel & floorboard as well as the footpeg ... I can do a belt change in about 30 minutes now ... and a lot less work if you have to do it in the bush. I've actually had to change my belt twice while out tracking ... so .... I also change my belts before every winter ... don't want to push my luck while out in the deep snow. I also take some emery cloth to the clutch sheaves & wipe them down with an alcohol rag & then blow out any belt dust with an air nozzle. I also use emery cloth on the side of the belt to rough it up a little as well as wash it in soapy water to remove any oil residue. Now, do I need to those things, not sure, but I do. Well, good job on the belt change & getting to know your machine .... LET'S RIDE !!!

A good learning vid, Those push pins are a pain lol. XMARGH offered some good tip's as well. Good vid thx 4 sharing.

Great video Rob..

Thanks a lot bro I have a 2017 570 xt I love the quad but I no I'll be doing all the stuff that you are in the.near future so thanks for the no how

There is a specialty tool for removing the black pins. A curved fork tool that is sold at Canadian tire. Works like a charm.

That was a lot of work... you should get a GY6 scooter instead all you need is to remove the 11 screws in the CVT cover the rest is more or less the same. Thanks for sharing :D

Good vid , helpful and saved . Total time , how long did it take you to change out ?

so did you test it out was the new belt any different in performance. And i took out some of the paneling on my xmr to run winch cables and while they look great it is a pain.

just a thought. the old belt may be a little longer due to it being broke in. not saying they did or didnt give you a shorter belt.

Did you replace the gasket on it after you pulled the housing off the belt

How do you repair high beam switch sho w with videos

You didnt notice the secondary rotating at idle ? Makes for nasty gear engagements.

Hi, i have big problem with my can am outlander 1000r xmr , i changed two belts in last 2 months wich means one month one belt i dont do wheelie or something like that but it breaks so often pls help should i buy maverick belt and put it on my outlander and what i should do before i installed it pls help .

What did it feel like when the belt started to smoke.... Can you feel it happening?

A little tougher than changing the belt on the Brute eh?

Where did you get the 70 mm bolt ?

Wierd that they gave you 715900023 brp has it listed “traxter” under compatibility. Maybe next time try 422280364, 20$ more, but is 100% pbo and actually has a compatibility list saying “ Maverick, Maverick MAX, G2, G2L, G2S, Commander, Commander MAX” it seems to be the belt everyone recommends that I’ve talked to

What are the exact tools needed

hey man. im changing my belt right now. just blew it up lmao. what exact size of bolt did you use. metric thread or impérial. and what diameter

Good to know Can-ams are metric lol They are Canadian made right ? . If I ever get a Can-am I'll definitely follow this video .

Where do you get the bolt from?

Big tires kill parts. lol

To much work, drive it until it doesn't move 😂

Can ams are bad for belts. Yamahas clutches are bullet proof. You rarely have to change the belt. I have a 2016 grizzly and I have 3000 Kms with no belt problems
