I go by Ruyguy.
I have been riding dirt bikes ATV's, UTV's and running with anything and everything off road since the age of 6 when my father got me my first minibike.
I enjoy running the trails, and working on the machines that ride in them. I started this Channel back in 2013 when I discovered how much my friends and family loved to see what I did in my spare time. Since then I've been making KZread videos for you all to see and enjoy. They mostly consist of 20 plus minuet long compilations of each time I turn the key on something with an engine and knobby tires....along with some friendly technical tips and how to videos and the occasional product support for items that i find to be highly beneficial to the ATV world.
So sit back, grab some popcorn and enjoy some beautiful trails (the the occasional muddy ones) that Nova Scotia, Canada has to offer.
Ride Safe, Tread Light!

Gorgeous trail. That looks intensely fun. And great choice on the music dude. I really enjoyed everything.
Jesus where did u take it? On the freakin moon?😂
The baby powder factory apparently.
Buy a poolaris if you think can am quality is bad.......😅
Agreed. I've got buddies running XP's, XP Turbos, and Trail models. Waste gate actuators, throttle potentiometers, sloppy drivelines, premature bearing wear, and even a blown engine on the trail.
Don't forget the hotdogs and ice cream :) Nice to meet and chat with you Ryan. We'll have to plan a ride and get out again sometime
Good video. Just hot an Argo700. Going trail riding tomorrow for the first time. Good to get some basic pointers.
Hello, Are you interested in testing our products? We would like to invite you to test the Overhead Roof Storage bag for your Can Am maverick x3 (if your car year is 2017-2024
Your timing is good. I am in need of some more storage space for longer trips with my machine. Can you please use my email address located on my channel's home page and send me a message via email so we can chat further about your products.
@@ruyguy8888 OK, please check
I suggest you get your act together before turning on the camera
I am actually genuinly curious of your throught process on this comment. At first I laughed, but then was very curious about how you came to your criticism on this 10 year old video of mine. I re-watched the video and other than having little to no camera skills 10 years ago, I explained my meathods of re-adjusting the valves on a Yamaha Grizzly 660. The video analytics from 10 years ago up till the last report I received on this from last week shows an overwhelmingly positive feedback from watchers. I've also gotten a few more shared tips and good feedback from peope in the comment section below. Would you care to elaborate on why you felt so negatively on this video and how i "get my act together" in a more timely manner?
Hey I came here from your Cummins hauling on 35s video, is that truck long gone? I just got a 2007 and it's in 37s thinking of going down to 35s. Did you ever have any issues hauling with it? I really don't wanna go to 33s they seem to small.
I already replied to your comment on that video. As quoted "I kept this truck all the way into December of last year (2023) I had it for 14 years. Doing it all over again, i would have never lifted it and just put a set of 33"s on it. The ware and tear on the running gear, high cost of 35" tires and replacing brakes more often was not worth it in my opinion. I never had any transmission problems in the 48RE trans running the 35s."
Do you have something hooked up to your trailer like this?
Is this truck gone now? This is a pretty old video, but I just got a 2007 Megacab 5.9 and it has 37s on it and I'm debating going down to 35s or 33s (the 37s and 6 inch lift are 100% coming off) but I really don't want to do 33s if I don't have to. I don't even own a trailer right now so worrying about weight is not an immediate issue lol. But I do want to start hauling doing some sidework with my truck and eventually getting a smaller Toy Hauler. My truck has an upgraded 48re in it, but I heard the problem with 35s is it will hunt between 4th and lockup on the freeway?

@@ruyguy8888nice, yeah I'm unlifting this truck (6 inches hella wonky), and figured I would keep the tires smaller and the stock truck rake. Sounds like I now have a plan of what's best for the truck. Yeah 35s are hella expensive and I hate squat too
That washer trick for the broadcast sprayer is fantastic. Well done.
nice looking trails.
Gorgeous trails. You really get to see a lot of beautiful places. Great video dude
Thanks man! It's a very expensive hobby to be in but it allows me to get to some really remote spots. that not a lot of people get to see.
is there a bypass around that washout on twisted sister? looks like your buddy was going down through the woods . I like using that trail for a loop from Hubbards. Also that airplane id cool. got any GPS coordinates you would like to share?
There are bypasses around the two worst sections of the trail now. I'll see if I can find it on my GPS however and send you a message on FB later on.
how did you remove the roller axles?
I took it into the dealer to have them done because i didn't have the puller tool you will need. They are held in there with a pin that is pressed in. If you search "Maverick X3 secondary roller puller" you will find all kinds of results.
Thanks for the vid helps me our a lot can't wait to save some money
Would love to check out that airplane!
Wow that’s a lot worse than it used to be.
Ya, it's actually really bad. I wouldn't want to try some spots on an ATV. I got overconfident on the way back down. Took the bank too high and slid on the side.
Twisted sister, great name for a trail.
It was hard to pick up on camera, but there is a little sign with Daniel Snider's photo on it at the trail head.
Just got a set I will be replacing my Sedona Rip Saws next week sometime with them. Hopefully they pair up good with the cf Moto 800xc. I know they are a lot lighter then my rip saws 26x11x14 rears 26x9x14 fronts. I normally run 7 lbs in the rear 6 lbs in the front I have a 2 up and almost always have a passenger just wondering if I should keep the same pressure when I mount the Kansas . I’m running stock rims not bead locks
This video and your other clutch video have been huge helps, thank you! I have a 2002 Grizzly 660 myself that I bought about a year ago, I'm fairly mechanically inclined but I've never had anything like this before so seeing someone go through the whole disassembly was awesome.
Does any body know what the torque specs are for the 6 bolts holding the spider gear together? Nothing in the manual and says not to take apart (too late)!
I’m looking at buying a buggy just like yours but before spending 20k+ could you tell me how warm it gets in the cab?
i've got no front windshield on my X3 so it's not hot at all. I can feel a little bit of heat from the rad if im working it hard through the tight woods in the summer, but with no windows it just gets blown away and doesn't stick around. Nothing like the old original mavericks.
Keep your heads up boys if there’s one thing I know it is that government is not your friend, it doesn’t matter if it’s federal, local, or anything in between! I’m buying another shirt that I don’t need and I probably already have just Support you boys. Fuck you Saginaw, Michigan! 🫡🖕🏼
Dude, do you need a booster-chair and a sippy-cup?...90% of what you're complaining about is true for ALL off-road vehicles, and 100% of what you're complaining about (save for the failed parts) was true when you walked in and bought that thing. I don't even like CanAm, but you're complaining more about what you agreed to purchase, and not something inherently wrong with that particular machine, vs the industry standard. Yes, they ARE a bunch of flimsy molded plastic, because they need to be. If they were metal, or even a heavier composite, they'd have an insane curb-weight. Tight fasteners would result in a bunch of stress-cracks everywhere. They NEED to be able to flex and bend...otherwise you'd have a bent-up embarrassing turd in no time, and then you'd be pissed-off about that. ALL manufacturers can improve, and that's for sure, but your complaints are mostly true of any machine like this that you'd go to buy. If you didn't like your sight-lines, then maybe a YXZ? If I were going to complain about canam (or polaris) it'd be more about those antiquated clutches they have. Yamaha and Kawasaki both have shown the industry there are much better cvt's out there, than these belt-hungry things. Your review...pick the scabs you want, but dude...
I left a rather shitty comment, so I edited it. Id rather not try to insult peope to make themselves look big on youtube like you have done. This video is my opinion. I knew what i was buying when i bought it. I don't buy anything blind. Im happy with the machine. You have good points. You just don't know how to speak properly to people and i can't help with that, sorry.
Cranking the preload up on the springs certainly doesn't help in the squeak and rattle dept either.
So I have the 24 DS and have the same squeak from the driver side. Turns out the actual door latch on mine. Did a little adjustment and it went away.
What did you end up doing? Just loosen the latch and reposition? or did you bend anything into place?
@@ruyguy8888 had to loosen the back bolts and pull the door forward as much as I could. Still wasn’t perfect after that. I used some automotive tape and just added some to the catch, just enough to add more holding force. Been quiet since I did that about 3 months ago. I’m sure I’ll have to replace the tape at some point. But $3.00 for a roll of tape is well worth the silence..
Im thinking i will have to pass on that going to get one thanks
I just got a 2001 prairie 300 4x4 and noticed today it has no power to pull it through a small ditch gets half way in and wont drive out just revs up and bogs down no torque at all
Can am will never get my money after watching this video
What cargo box is that ?
Just the standard Can-AM 45L cargo box i got at the dealer.
The yxz is slower, and doesn’t have the suspension. But the fit and finish is way better.
I've always been a Yamaha fanboy. I looked very hard at the YXZ's before this machine. I was a bit leary of the first gear still not being slow enough for tightly wooded trails and creeping over obsticals when needed so i purchased the X3. Still no regrets on it.. however it wasnt more than 4 months later the 2024 YXZ 6 spped transmissions came out lol. Oh well. I'm still having a lot of fun.
I assume the valve adjustment would be the same on a 2023 Kodiak 700?
What if my mechanical seal failed on my KfX700. And oil got into my antifreeze. The seal is already changed and the coolant line has been cleaned but the quad doesn’t run well anymore. Does someone have an idea what it could be??
random question but how big is this shop?, im trying to decide how big to build mine this summer lol
That's just a 20X24ft Single bay. It's usually crammed pretty good in there. I just pull everything out if I'm working on stuff.
thanks man! cant build it that big so i hope i have enough room
Junk. Just don't buy it.
K
What causes the free play when turning handlebars but wheels don’t immediately move?
Noticed your fan coming on immediately? Even on accessory? That’s not normal, or is that something you did?
That's a clutch intake fan i added. It's tied into keyed ignition.
@@ruyguy8888 ahah! Makes sense. Thanks for the reply, great review btw!
I’ve been looking for a review on a base model for awhile, thanks, excellent review! All the reviews on all models are for the higher version models. Now I need to find reviews for the other base models!
I’ve heard about the same build quality problems over and over again. It makes you wonder why Can-Am can’t get this resolved. These machines cost too much money to be putting up with this crap. They continue to hurt their own reputation and scare away potential customers.
Most truck owners won't haul anything but the wife and kids during ownership, let's keep it 💯....so IMO these newer V6's should do the job..
Very well said.
You can definitely get V8 power out of a V6.
Is this a 3.21 or 3.55 ratio? I have the 3.21 v6 and I am looking to pull a 3350lbs trailer (19 foot). I am unsure how it will do! What do you think?
I think the 3.21 V6's are rated for around 4800lbs depending on body configuration. Tung weight wise you would be OK, you might start to hunt for gears a lot through long uphill runs but otherwise I think you will be just fine with what you have. Travel trailers will always haul harder than something just on a flatdeck
@@ruyguy8888 I have the crew cab as well. 4350lbs is the max towing capacity. 9850lbs for total vehicle and trailer weight, with a curb weight of 5081lbs!

What’s the liter/100km normally?
for my daily 45 min commute one way, i hand calculated it out to average 10 literes per hundred. (dash reads 10-11) . So thats about 20 to 24 mpg. exactly what Ram states
What’s the liter/100km normally?
Have you had any engine codes after you installed that muffler?
None at all.
DO NOT DO WHAT THIS GUY JUST DID!!! Bro is over greasing the hell out of those wheel bearings. Soon as you blow out the dust ring you've effectively ruined your wheel bearings. It allows dirt and water to enter. Not only that, now your forcing the bearings to "run uphill in the sand" LESS IS MORE!! 1 or 2 pumps ONCE a year is plenty.
I agree with you on blowing out the rubber seals with grease, however as noted by the dirty water being pushed out, the seals didnt do a very good job in the first place. Id rather push the water out, and even though the grease pushed out where the ingress happened, the first few turns of those needles will dispurse the grease inside evenly once it heats up. Plus tge grease used is fully synthetic and specifically made for high speed, high load bearing applications. I use this grease on my tractor implement bearings that spin all day long year after year You seem to think i filled the entire void in with grease when thats not what happened. I wouldnt recommend doing what i did for racing applications, but to prolong life of the general standard use wheel bearing. Hense why i said that grease is better than water. Again, not disagreeing with you but giving my reasons as to my desision.
@ruyguy8888 That's fair. I do a lot of general trail riding but also spend a lot of time on the track. I've gone through more bearings than I can count in the 2.5 years I've owned the car, to the point I thought about buying hess knuckles just to make it an easier swap. I finally decided to spend money on some Kryptonite bearings, hoping the lifetime warranty wasn't just a trick to get twice what the other guys are charging. Before I did anything, I contacted the manufacturer to get their service recommendations so I don't "void" my warranty and that's basically what they told me. Soon as you compromise that dust ring, it's only a matter of time before you need to replace them. Following thise directions I've had no issues with these bearings. Knock on wood.
@@ElJeFe556 I'll have to check out those Kryptonite bearings. I've not ever heard of them before so thanks for the tip. Yeah this car wont see a race track. My base warranty is long since gone already on this machine. Hoping to get a long life out of the X3.
very good job
Wow that noise when you ran it is normal????? How much are new rollers? I replaced the secondary rollers in my proxp and they were expensive
When people complained about the previous year's clutch noises at 5000rpms that noise is what they where talking about.. only worse. The P-drive clutch is quieter plus Can-am added insulation to both the clutch cover and the intake tubes. That whine noise isn't really noticeable while driving. The ATVs are somewhat the same. ever listen to a XMR with its snorkels up front? Might as well have some cheese with that whine. These rollers where about $100 but well worth it for lifetime guarantee and a way stronger design.
Excellent step by step, detailed video showing taking the stock off and installation of the new. Have you noticed any changes in performance or fuel consumption with the new exhaust?
Thank you. I tried to make it straight forward for the install. Fuel consumption is hard to say because terrain changes so much, stoppages out on the trails etc... However by far the MOST noticeable trait was the elimination of the very high heat coming from the turbo and catalytic converter area. The sound in person is much more pleasing to ear and doesn't sound as tinny as the stock muffler did. Performance wise, i find the turbo spools a little quicker so while i can't judge HP numbers without a dyno, the acceleration off the line feels better.
@@ruyguy8888 Thanks. Fuel consumption is a tougher one to pin point. The heat reduction would be nice, with both front and back windows the cabin gets quite warm in the summer.
