Dealer will probably have to open their mail to find part numbers!

That nut and cutter pin were definitely not tightened from the factory.

 

For anyone bored at work today, here is the operators manual.

It originally looked like only a single engine oil drain plug, but it is actually 2. The oil tank cover plug is a very interesting design. Looks like multiple oil chambers converge during oil service.

 

EVO just dynoed their machine and it looks as if the DCT is only a 10% drivetrain loss. The car made 217HP. They’ve already started tuning it as well.

 

@GloverXRS
The Maverick R does have "Drown Mode" just like the X3. The Service manual will have it in multiple areas such as submerged vehicle procedures.
Best practice after long term storage, pump some oil before starting.

 

Will it be needed to drain the oil though in the R?

 

Curious how they are tuning a brand new 24' model R and struggled to tune the 23' X3s or has someone finally done that?

Can Am conveniently make them for easy tuning out of the gate to help with their own R&D for future upgrades?

 

Based on my understanding EVO has been the only company to crack the X3 ECU. You have to get on a waiting list and send in your ECU when it is your turn so they can pull it apart and chip swap it. I assume it's probably the same ECU as the X3 so that is why they are already able to tune it.

 

Probably just uses the same Bosch encryption key from X3.

 

Maverick R - ECU part number: 420464215
Maverick X3 RS - ECU Part number: 420464215

 

Ohhhhhhhhh……………..hmmmmmm…………..no hardware change and a 300 h.p. tune, that would be something!

Really looking forward to the feel of the DCT connected to the ground rather than the loss of the in direct connection through the belt.

 

Found another interesting thing that is pretty trick. My eat guess is this is where the factory wiper fluid reservoir will mount on the inside and be filled here.

Also Bent Metal getting some work done prototyping the windshield.

 

I read through the owner's manual. (It seems a bit rough with minor errors which will likely get cleaned up in time.) It looks like there are a total of 8 drains servicing 5 oil reservoirs, 6 fill plugs (including 3 level check plugs), two filters and 4 kinds of oil recommended. Engine oil, DCT, Disconnect Unit, Front Diff and Final Drive. I'm not clear on service intervals for the Disconnect Unit. (I don't know what that is.) Also, from the specs section, it appears that well over a quart of DCT oil (no idea what kind of oil this is) cannot be drained out. And coolant capacity is about 2.3 gallons. I didn't see much else that surprised me.

Brilliant observation. I could not figure out why that door swung out!

 

As far as fluid service, I might recommend an electric or manual oil siphon. Makes it a lot cleaner to suck it out from the filler. Mine comes with different hose O.D.'s. Very handy

 

Anyone watch the sxsblog video of the new R and see how bad the tires are hitting the knuckle?

 

Not exactly a "glowing endorsement".

 

I stopped watching the Polaris commercial called SXSBLOWJOB years ago.

I love all the comments about how rough it is. As someone that ride little Sahara ok offen. Big weekend there no smooth sand your crossing ppl tracks non stop.

 

They put everything in SPORT+ and then complained about it being stiff

Maybe if they wanted a smooth ride they could have tried comfort or one of the other 5000 modes.

I mean cmon, they drove around in LOW with multiple people and didn't even know it. They didn't even try to do an honest or thorough review, they just wanted to get one and bitch about it because they are mad.

 

Sounds like they are very sour about not being invited to the ride event. Talked crap about brp and were mad when they didn’t get the invite, so naturally they’re overly critical. Other independent reviews are almost polar opposite of these clowns

The key word here is 'independent'. Once invited to rub elbows with a manufacturer I do think that has an effect on opinion pieces for some. It also has the adverse effect if you are an entitled 'internet-made-star' with unreasonable expectations. This group has lost some credibility.

 

Is it possible the ECU is restricting timing/full power until it reaches a certain mileage? My C8 did this and it was a noticible difference when it was uncorked. I don't know anything about this ECU.

 

The video was interesting. They were beating on the car pretty good with the jumping and nothing broke, which is a rare for those guys. They all seemed pumped on the car when jumping it.

It was interesting they did not know they were driving in low gear on the initial ride. Once the discovered sport+ mode and high gear they seemed to like the power.

 

I don't know if it was because the suspension was in sport + or not, but watching the steering wheel shake like crazy going over the sand didn't inspire confidence.

And yeah, mostly dbags on that channel. The Matt guy seems decent, others not so much.

I will say that Matt guy does seem like a genuinely nice guy, but everyone else….no thanks.

 

I thought it was an honest review not skewed like the other nut swingers. You could see the roughness of the car, the tire rubbing, the overly complicated high/low shifting, too many setting and buttons to push. Not defending them at all but the video showed proof not just them talking and bashing.

 

This is total BS from a Pro R fanboy.

Sport+ at low speed and they wonder why it's stiff.

They talked about buttons and technology like a 95 year old complaining about his iPhone. There's a frickin L and H on the dash, it's not complicated they just didn't bother to try.

One minute they're saying X3's are so simple and this thing is too complicated, then they spend 5 minutes talking about how much easier the R is to work on and reach everything. Complained about the speedo display and ignored the ridiculous 10" fully customizable touchscreen also on the dash.

Never have I seen them so awkward, phony, and unsure of what to say. You can tell how full of shlt they were with calling everything "weird" and "wacky". It's like they couldn't come up with enough to complain about so they called the doors that are obviously 1000x better than X3 doors "weird". wtf

A guy with a Pro R called it too big and heavy LOL

I mean he complained about where the fkin gas pedal was, talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel.

 

The Mike guy “loves” the talon they have with a dct, yet in the CanAm it’s weird and he doesn’t like it? Or how they live streamed the entire pro r launch video and started slobbering over it before anyone saw it. Paid no mind to the maverick R launch, and as soon as they get it, it isn’t amazing, fast or anything revolutionary, it’s just meh to them. Most of the things they whined and complained about have never been talked about in any other independent review

 

I don’t trust much of anything from any “you tuber”. I would trust people on Internet forums who own things a lot more. This goes for just about anything, not just SxS. I’m sure there are exceptions but most you tubers are just trying to get views, generate buzz, and get subscribers and will do anything to make that happen. This bunch are doing exactly what they wanted to, generate buzz and get people to talk about their video and watch it.

 

Can Am was 100% correct for showing no Love to SXS Blog guys after all the blowing shit up for laughs and milking their fans so they can build junk for doing burnouts on a steel plate laid on the dirt

 

Agreed. Their only goal is viewers, and their particular method of getting those is to **** shit up. Entertaining (for some), but really irrelevant if you are looking for legitimate info.

Interestingly, this was the first I've heard about the tire rubbing issue. It does appear that the tire sidewall is very close to the arm, and wider tires may not be an option without different offset rims. I notice that the R's prepped for dessert racing have a significantly larger offset on the front rims/tires.

People are saying the reason their tires rubbed is because they let so much air out of them for the sand.
