CanAm ATV Repairs

If you're looking for help fixing your CanAm ATV, look no further! Our comprehensive CanAm ATV repair guide will explain common issues, provide tips, and maybe show you how to repair your vehicle.

BATTERY POWER
If your ATV doesn’t turn over when the ignition is engaged or only tries lazily to do so, your battery may be low on juice. Fortunately, battery issues are some of the easiest to fix. To test the battery, use a multimeter (which can be purchased on the cheap at any auto parts store) to check for output of 12V. If a lesser reading is present, it’s time to charge your battery. Do so by hooking the terminals to a battery booster via alligator clips on the charging cables and go make yourself a sandwich while you wait. If the battery doesn’t charge or continues to lose a charge time and time again, it may be time to install a whole new one.

ENGINE SYSTEM
Failures within the engine system can be tougher to put your finger on due to the high volume of mechanical parts required to make it all run. Starts and stalls, or a complete lack of engine action could be caused by simple fixes like a clogged air filter or exhaust, or more in-depth issues such as blocked fuel lines or over-fueling causing carburetors to flood.
Do-it-yourself’ers may be comfortable checking for issues within the engine system, while others may find that a trip to a mechanic is better suited for their needs.
Regardless of whether you choose to take care of the most common ATV issues yourself, or seek the help of a professional, it’s always handy to have an owner’s manual and be familiar with the basics of how your machine operates. A basic understanding of what makes your machine tick will ensure that you’re armed with the knowledge to figure out mechanical issues in your garage, or out on the trail!

IGNITION
Where there’s fuel, there must be a spark in order to get your motor running. If an ATV motor turns over but doesn’t start, and the battery seems to be fine; it’s time to check out your ignition system.
First, check out your spark plugs via a physical inspection. Look for any corrosion or gunk on the plug itself, and ensure that there is a small gap present in the spark gap of the plug. If the plug looks out of sorts, replace it. Otherwise, you can use your multimeter to test the plug and see whether or not a spark is present. Other parts of the ignition system, including the ignition coil and capacitor discharge ignition (CDI), can also fail, however, are far less likely to. Refer to your owner’s manual for the best methods to troubleshoot these components.

I have a 2019 Defender HD10 and love it. I am at trail guide on the Hatfield McCoy trail system. I have over 10,000 miles on this machine and have had to replace less than $500 in parts so far. It has pulled dozens of other machines out of the woods, been loaded with Firewood, Bricks, Cinder Blocks, and always has 300 pounds of tools to carry. It has NEVER failed to bring me, and everyone else, back home! If you are reading this because you are thinking of buying one, Do it!

Bad costumer service. I call to find out where my bike was that I ordered in March. They told me they was unable to answer that question because the don’t want to get people hope up. I told them that wasn’t and answer. I paid for it so where is it. They told me they would have someone call in 48 hours. That was a week ago. I would suggest that if you going to buy a bike that you go with a different brand of bike. I will never give my money to this company again. Sad that you send our money with a company that can’t tell you when you will you get what up paid for.

We bought a new 2022 Can Am Maverick Max Sport 1000R in December. We no more than got it home and when you go about 16 mph, it makes terrible noise in the drive shaft. We took it to the dealership and they were told by Can Am expert technician that drive shaft has issue and needs changed, so that was done. It also was having a popping sound in the front end on uneven ground that we forgot to let them know that at the time. When we got it back, the dealership told us that they had 6 other cases with the same drive shaft issue and we were told they did what Can Am told them to do and replaced the shaft and to let them know how it worked. We got it home, went on a trail, and not only was the drive shaft noise not better, the popping in the front end was worse. The machine has less than 7 hours on it! We took it back to the dealership and were told that they could replicate both noises and had looked over the machine and have no idea what the popping is and that Can Am again wants them to change the drive shaft. At this point we have a new machine that has been “operated” on twice and we would just like to be reimbursed for this purchase. Spoke with a BRP customer service rep and he told me we should “just give the Can Am technicians a chance to get it right”. I told him that they had their chance when it came down the manufacturing line and they had a second chance already and told him I would like to be reimbursed. He said they don’t like to reimburse they like to replace. At this point, I want nothing else to do with Can Am products and if you want service after the sale, I would recommend not dealing with Can Am!

purchased upgrades for my new cab am defender and the arrival date get changed everytime the date arrives. I bought my can am machine and it has 6 months warranty and haven't been able to drive it because of the parts!my warranty will be up by the time I'm even able to drive it 😡4 months for a seat adjuster so I can drive it? Do you guys think only men drive them? Sad I have to spend 400$ for a seat adjuster so I as a 5'3" woman can drive her machine she purchsed 🤔 also it's not the only item I have been waiting on ,so frustrating considering how much this company is probably worth.
