I have a 2007 outlander 650 that we recently bought used in immaculate condition. Had 170 miles on it and we have put it over 250 now. I plan to change the engine oil, diff oil, and coolant in the coming week. I am holding off on the gearbox oil for now. Twice now, both when stuck in thick swamp, the check engine light has came on. The first time I didn't see what was being displayed because I didn't know it displayed anything. The second time however, after reading the manual, I knew to look and rather than saying bi temp like I thought it probably would it just said check engine. I shut it off for a few minutes, fired it back up, the light was gone and it ran fine? Any ideas on what is going on? Worth taking in? I checked the p codes and it said active p code speed end, which idk what that means. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. ]]> CAN-AM (BRP) tehpwnerer1918 http://forums.atvconnection.com/can-am-brp/330649-halo-please-check-engine-light-comes-should-i-worried.html http://forums.atvconnection.com/can-am-brp/330610-when-should-i-change-gearbox-oil-outlander-650-a.html Sun, 05 Sep 2010 03:22:26 GMT I bought a used Outty 650 XT 2007 with 170 miles on it.

I bought Amsoil 0W40 powersports synthetic motor oil for the engine, Amsoil 75W90 oil for the differential, and Dexcool 50/50 for the rad. Is it a good idea to change the gearbox oil as well? I priced up the oil from the dealership and it was $20 which is quite steep if you ask me? Should I change it? If so, or even if not, how often should it be changed? Thanks in advance.


EDIT: I have found a lot of bad information regarding Texaco's Dex Cool and a class action law suit. Is this the same as the Zerex Dexcool that I bought? Have the ingredients been changed so that it doesn't cause problems if it is does anyone know?

I am new to the DS650 family and now I have Coolant in my oil, and i'm trying to determine if i have bad seals in my water pump or bad head gasket. i haven't checked the weep hole (i think it may be plugged, i will check that tomorrow). Is there a way to rule out either the head gasket or water pump without major de-construction. any constructive feedback is appreciated.

It runs pretty hot and the engine hot light came on the first time we rode it (we may have been stuck in some muck at the time though).

I am wondering which of the above products will perform the best in the machine, keep the fan off and keep the engine cooler, but still be able to stay in during the winter here in MN.

Tell me what you use, what you like and why you like it and I would be greatly appreciative.

Bear with me please.

I have an 05 DS650x. I want some more power out of it, but I don't have a ton of money to hurl at it.

OMW racing says putting on a TM48 Carb and porting out the intake is a good way to gain 6hp. Is this true, even for a stock motor? I would prefer to keep the motor stock for now, just because of the cost.

To get that much of a gain do you have to have the air filter mounted on the carb? I would think the way the new carb would give you more power, is to give you more fuel, which in turn takes more air flow. I would prefer to keep it in the air box, seeing as I have to cross water sometimes.

Also, does anyone know the specs on porting out the intake? I work in a machine shop, and if I knew the exact amount of material to take off, I could knock that out in a matter of minutes for free.

I'm no mechanic, so yeah...

I appreciate your time and advice.

I have always been reluctant to... Well my wife and I have been looking for an Outty for a while now. I have always been reluctant to buy used as I assume that all riders ride like me, and I wouldn't want to buy an ATV that I had used. We found one that seemed too good to be true, 07 650 HO XT w/ less than 200 miles on it. I know it is easy to get the miles to go away because I had an AC that got water in the gauge at 2000 miles so after replacement it magically had 0 miles. Anyways, we went to look at the machine and we pulled up to a mansion on a lake, and low and behold a doctor owned it. It looks as though it were just drove off the showroom floor, not a scratch on the plastic, the boots are immaculate, no dust in the air box, no scratches on the skid plate even. It has 170 miles on it and 15 hours I think, and I believe that is accurate according to the shape of the machine. Got it for $5900 with a 60" plow thrown in (sounded good to me for a near brand new machine, did I get ripped off?).

He changed the oil once. My question is, what maintenance, if any, should I have done to this machine? We haven't had a chance to ride it anywhere other than testing it at his house, and in our yard since we live in town. We are taking it trail riding today. Just wanted to know if I should have it dealer serviced for anything? Thank you in advance for your help and I am honored to own a Can-Am. ]]> CAN-AM (BRP) tehpwnerer1918 http://forums.atvconnection.com/can-am-brp/330370-just-bought-new-read-post-2007-outlander-650-xt-does-require-any-maintenance.html http://forums.atvconnection.com/can-am-brp/330369-ds-650-gas-leak.html Sun, 29 Aug 2010 13:27:56 GMT The bowl drain tube leaks while it sets over night.
