Well explained video. This looks easier than changing the engine oil filter. Gonna give this a go
With your outboard lower leg oil change it is common to re-fill them with a pump from the lower drain plug until it comes out the top plug hole as they will airlock if you try to fill from the top fill hole.
Nice job. Most of people would not think of that. I built a platform base from 2x6 3 inches high. Use 2 sets of truck Ramps. I use a floor jack to lift the quad up enough to slide everything in place under the wheels. I can then use a Creeper under the quad. Makes access mush easier for maintenance. This set up works well for me and much easier on the back and knees. Lol
Thanks!
I like your idea of getting machine up off ground and using a creeper! I’m always looking for ways to save my bad lower back! 👍
I recently bought a Can Am 650. I bought an ATV/Motorcycle Lift for 150.00. In order to get the height I wanted I added a couple 4x4’s, now it lifts quite high and it raises fast. Highly recommended.
@@mcmuskie2563 I just bought one also lol. Works great. My back and knees have never been so happy.
Thanks ! Great video to avoid taking off the plastic/foot well while changing the transmission oil.
thanks!
I just did the first service on our 2024 and i was shocked at how over full the transmission was.
I’ve got 662hrs and 8958mi on mine and never changed mine out (besides my gearboxes and motor) after seeing this video I am now more than expecting to see copious metal shavings 😭 it’s been driving like a champ with all those miles
Appreciate the info. I’m going to change mine in the spring, I only have 8hrs on it.
Spotless work bud!
Thanks
I found that after about 4 or 5 oil changes the wear seems to really have reduced to negligible levels - oil comes out clean after 1000-1200km. Same with the rear diff. It seems they take awhile to "break in" but definitely better now.
Great job thanks for sharing 👍
I just popped a 3/4 hole in the lower side cover to get a socket in
Also I use Redline heavy shock gear oil in all three holes, really quiets it down.
@@mminton88 the tranny does run pretty loud on these hey?
You are so good thank
Welcome 😊
That's pretty cool, I hope my 2021 450 can be acsesed the same way.
they are all pretty much the same setup correct? Ive got a 2019 570 max x t this has been a big help
what I truthfully should have said is, I am responsible for a 2019 570 max xt and a max 570 2020 so yes sir anyway i can save on them by diy is huge for me...
You video was awesome , and i subscribed
Hey Mike. Is that machine a wet sump or dry sump?
Hey Mike. Does your machine have a dry sump or wet sump for the oil
The gear box oil is separate from engine oil on this model. If that’s what your wondering. Engine Im pretty sure is wet sump.
What do you use to clean your bike
Just some all purpose cleaner from hardware store that gets injected in my power washer. (my quad doesn't see much mud though) I mainly tour the dirt roads
Why did you choose RP over Amsoil?
No real reason other than availability, and as long as it’s synthetic.
Mines new and I’ve been using all Amsoil, I use it in everything including my vehicles. It’s cheaper than BRP bye a couple bucks as well.
Any idea of where to buy the trans fill plug? Striped mine out
You bought your boots when?
You referring to fxr snowmobile boots? Fall of 2020.
Do you know how often it should be changed, when I bought mine used it didn’t have a manual?
Manual says
First 1500kms and every 3,000kms under (severe use).
First 3.000kms and every 6,000kms (regular trail riding. )
So gauge it based on how you use your machine. Obviously more often is better for being safe.
@@bikermike ok, thank you
I read some guys that do mudding change it once a month, same for differentials
Im leaking fluid right beside the fill hole where the driveshaft goes into the gearbox reckon what that could be?
Do you know if anything has ever been apart on it? Best to get everything power washed up and dried to locate it. After cleaned and dried take it for a rip in a dry environment. Then inspect again. Your guess is as good as mine but that’s how I’d try to find where it’s leaking. Brake clean will do a great job of drying it up to inspect.
I’m guessing, but I’d say that Shaft Seal needs to be replaced.
I’m buying you ratcheting wrenches
