Went for the first ride of the year this weekend in the Uintas . I came back and was doing some checks on the

trooper and noticed some looseness in the right rear wheel bearing . I checked the left rear and it is tight.

Looking at the parts breakdown I don't see any preload adjustment capability . Iam wondering if I should

just drive it and see if it gets more loose or do you think I have a bad bearing .I only have 245 km on it .

Also wondering if anyone has had any engine oil leak issues . I noticed a few drops on the skid plate right

below the crank pulley. I cleaned it off expecting to see more oil drops ,rode the rest of the weekend no more

leak, very strange ,oil leak are usually not intermittent any thoughts ? thanks

No adjustments on th rear wheel bearings. It's nothing more then a double roller bearing not more then about 2" long total. I'm amazed that it holds up at all. It just has no width to it. The stress on the bearing has to be way up there and a bearings life span is directly related to the load put on it so I don't expect them to last real long. Also check the thread "Rear wheel misalignment issues" (same Joyner forum). There are other things that can make the back wheels loose.

Sorry, I said roller bearing, it's a double ball bearing. That's worse.

      I got the fronts adjusted.  I'm trying to raise the ride height in the rear, but my spanner wrench keeps slipping.  Is there an easier better way?  It's like there's too much pressure working against me to be able to twist the height adjusters.  How can I relieve that tension to make them easier to turn?

      Hit a rock last weekend and trashed my front A-arm and axle on my Outlander. I’ve been looking around for reliable sources for replacement components. A lot of listings online look a bit hit or miss, so I’m trying to figure out what’s actually worth trusting.
      Has anyone here had good luck with dealers or sites where you can buy genuine Can-Am spare parts online without worrying about quality issues or fake OEM stuff? I’d rather pay a bit more and get the right fit than deal with problems later.
      Any recommendations appreciated.

      Haven't posted in a while since solving the excessive cabin noise issue, so I thought I would share a few upgrades to my Sector... Realize that this is driven daily on the street, so some of the mods are to make it more streetworthy.

      Locking gas door.

      Rear view mirror.

      Modified windshield for better airflow in cabin.

      Lowered and modified headrest bar for improved rear view.  Tailgate protector.

      Folding armrests.

      Overhead utility rack.  Keeps the interior cooler and dryer, too!

      Folding rear seats.

      Dust cover and seat protector.
      If anyone wants links to the rear view mirror, seats, or arrests, let me know and I will post.  But know that everything requires some level of fabrication.  The utility rack was all custom built.  Cheers!
