Good Morning,

I just have recently purchased a 2014 Maverick Max X rs..... This will be my second Can-am purchase. Im really excited about my first trip next week, Im going with a group of 20 cars from Parker Az. to Laughlin Nevada (via the desert). Im told it about a 10 hour ride after stopping for lunch in Topock Az. This will be my first brand new Can-am and I would like to hear about the proper break on period?

Welcome to the site. There's two trains of thought on break in. The easy method like the manual says. And the Motoman method. Just google it. Basically, drive it hard the first 20 miles to seat the rings.

Here ya go.....Break In Secrets--How To Break In New Motorcycle and Car Engines For More Power

EDIT: The above method probably isn't the way to break-in the drive belt, but you engine will run stronger and longer. Befor I did a 10 hr trip (I know your not new to SxS's) I'd get me a spare belt.

Break ins are over rated. Just drive it hard right out of the box.

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like a fun ride your planning. I'm a motoman believer.
