Eight years of turn key performance came to an end last week after 2,400 miles, I smoked a rear drive shaft sleeve. This is the first failure I have encountered with this magnificent beast of a machine. It is a 03 and I have beat the shit out of it relentlessly.

What brand is that? Sounds like a hell of a machine!

It is a Bombardier Traxter Max, now days they are called Can-Am Outlanders

I have been keeping an eye on them for sale, basically due to your praise of them.....

Luckily it was a $40 part and It took about an hour to get off, the new one should be here around the end of next week.

Hay Bob,

Just bought an 04 650 quest max.

Seems to pull hard while idling in gear sometimes. Also somewhat hard to shift gears.

Where's the best place to look for repair information?

Looks about identical to yours.

I just "Google it"

I have found that a few of them left the factory with the wrong length throttle cable mine was about 1/4 inch to short when it was adjusted all the way out causing it to idle high when wormed up. I just took a drill to the stopblock inside the thumb control allowing the cable more of a range of motion, never had a problem with it after that.
