Hi everyone, i fell a bit like a traitor i own a brute force atv but i am in need of a new quad just plain wore out my brute i have been wheeling and dealing with my local can am dealer and finally got a good price i think, i love the way it looks i love the way it drives but will it out last my brute i ride long and hard on an average week end i will put on 120 km and thats every weekend all year round. can anyone push me off the fence so i can make up my mind please and thanks,

from Maybe new outlander owner

What you lookin at 800?

Yes the 2010 800 outlander xt
going to put deposit on it tomorrow i dont want it sold
i was told it would take a good 2 to 3 weeks to get another one in.
i also want to know if anyone knows where i could down load a shop manual for it

Guess you dont need a push off the fence.
I dont think youll be disappointed with your decision. Good trail riding machine, suspension is a little too spongy for riding hot and It seems to find the bottom of the front shocks easy. All kinds of power, nice throaty sound effortless and flawless steering, great seating position and new QE visco lok is a 100% improvement over the regular lok. Post after the maiden voyage and tell me if Im wrong.

mudbob, I just took my 2010 Outlander 800R XT-P out for it's maiden trip yesterday, and yes, the shocks were all set to the bottom. Making it dive very fast and hard. Once Krusty adjusted mine all the way up, it took care of the problem and full throttle was no longer and issue

I have the LTD with air shocks in the rear, I have the fronts set in the middle but am going to try to set them for max preload.

So no one knows where to get an online repair manual for the new quads ????

Congratulations!!!! Even with the stock shocks set on the firmest setting they are too soft. Firmer springs or better shocks are a must have.

I replaced mine by the heavy duty ones and they are stiffer but to what extent compared to stock is hard to say.I would like to know if they have heavy duty springs for the back.
