I Drive a Can Am Maverick R for the First Time; Then Break It!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The team at Whalen Speed R&D offered their new Can Am Maverick R to me for a little test drive. How could I say no? I test it out on a short course at Silverback Offroad Speedway and break it in no time!

    What a coincidence that the first non-sponsored Turbo R video the car breaks. Get ready for more videos like this. I have touched every bolt on my 2017 xrs which is why I trust it. Yes, everybody builds crap nowadays. The people who design cars are a little brighter than the ones who assemble them.

    I had a 19 xrs then a 21 xrs. The 19 was solid. The 21 (covid car I called it) litteraly had fasteners all through the front end that were finger lose the day I brought it home from the dealer. Upper and lower control arm bolts never tightened. Thing sounded like it was falling apart on the first ride. You'd think these are ready to rip in new condition but they aren't.

    Definitely a warranty issue, don’t beat yourself up about that! The dealer needs to pull the wheels and tires and go over every nut and bolt on these things. Not the first broken one either with a few people snapping the front lower an arm. Hope you get one soon, still thinking it will be a good machine with the bugs worked out

    Just picked up my 2023 Renegade 650 a few weeks ago. I was very disappointed with the overall build quality. loose fasteners every where. found a cross threaded bolt on battery hold down, display was crooked in the mount. All other Can am I've owned were perfect, but its been a few years since I owned a new one and this pissed me off. BTW, every Ski Doo I've owned (I buy a new Xrs every year or 2) has been flawless. Ski Doo are still built in Canada, Can am are built in Mexico, I guess that's the difference.

    I had the same thing on my then new 2015 Polaris RZR1000XP with a finger tight nyloc nut on the front pivot bolt of the rear trailing arm & a generally poor finish on my new 2021 Can-am Maverick X3 Turbo RR with plenty of missing washers & panel bolts on one side. Quality control on assembly in the factory is highly suspect & pre-delivery preparation consists of cut the tie down straps off & pump the tyres up & take the customers money. I check all the nuts and bolts for tightness before I ride anything from new.
