Thanks a million for doing this video. I've never done any of this before, it took me forever (compared to your 20 minutes) but I finally got it done . Awesome that you took the time to make this video
No problem, really glad it was helpful for you. Thank you for watching and taking the time to share your experience with first try at the job. I'm sure it will go quicker on the next time. Thanks for the comment, Cheers
nice, that's a great tip as the zerks never take grease correctly when dirty and those caps would have that great double benefit of locating them easier and keeping all the mud off tips on these machines. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to share a good tip in the comments. Cheers
I was told by mechanic to only give about half a pump or until you feel gun start to have tension on the pump on the 2 u-joint zerks because you’ll risk blowing the seals
that is a great point and an interesting topic of conversation that is somewhat up for debate. I am not under the impression that the bushings or u joints are tightly sealed enough that greasing until you see grease is doing any sort of damage. not to say that sticking to just one pump, especially on a brand new machine would be a bad course of action. Once they inevitably do open up though I think greasing until we see fresh grease ensures that any trapped moisture or contaminants have been pushed out and the bushings are riding on just grease. Just my .02c and the way I do it and have always seen it done in the shops down south. Hope this somewhat answers that and I appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a good thought provoking information in the comments. Cheers
I'm getting a squeaking noise coming from what I'm assuming would be the driveshaft hopefully now that I know how to get to the fitting it will stop. Thank you for the video
no problem, I would think that just might solve the issue. Definitely wouldn't hurt to try. Let us all know if it worked for you. Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your experience in the comments. Cheers
always a pita, the wiggle and yank technique is only relief I've found for that issue. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to share your experience in the comments. Cheers
just did a 22 650 xmr brand new only 200 miles did fittings drive shaft took 12 pumps one took 12 other took 9 i recommended checking them all dealerships are very lazy
I like to keep going until I see fresh grease, but maybe get with your local dealers service dept and see what they suggest because I have gotten a few comments saying that that's to much, but my bet is its fine, just wipe off any excess grease before you hit the trails. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a really good question in the comments. Cheers
Lots of gress eh. Wow nippeles. I have 2018 outlander xmr 1000. Plus my Mavirick 2018 dps 800. I was wondering what i do with the batterys. Its a glasss packed. And been sitting. Since. November. I wanted to know if i charge or trickel charge them. Im sure there dead? Thanks!!
oh yeah and they'll be quite a few fittings on that new maverick I would think, and hmmm I'm not sure if its the correct way, but I just use a trickle charger. Thanks for watching and commenting, great riding weather right around the corner. Cheers
hmmm did you try greasing all the zerks? and if its that new I feel like maybe the dealer should help you out with getting the squeaks under control? let us know how it turns out. Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your experience with a good question in the comments. Cheers
Good question.. yes, and no, I like to use Lucas all purpose marine grease as its naturally water resistant. But I'm sure you could get away with a variety of generic all purpose greases or with whatever the manual calls for would probably be best. There should be a link to the Lucas Marine Grease I use, in the description of the video. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Sorry for late response, Cheers.
Nice, Thank you for sharing, I'm sure anyone with one of the newer machines will appreciate seeing that. Where are the additional 2 in the front located, just curious? Thanks for watching, and taking the time to leave a comment with additional info. Cheers.
10-4 will definitely incorporate this feedback into future grease videos. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave some helpful constructive feedback in the comments. Cheers
coming from south Louisiana where a lot of these machines are closer to submarines than atv's, I was always taught to keep going until it pushed the grease out in an effort to evacuate any water/mud/etc that found its way into older bushings. However if stopping when it gets hard is the suggested method by brp makes perfect sense to me to not blow out the seals with grease especially on newer machines. I figure either method will work, but I will do some more research and probably incorporate your advice into the next grease video. Thanks for watching and especially for taking the time to leave valuable information about the proper method for greasing these machines in the comments. Cheers
I typically used marine grease in past as its naturally water resistant, however recently since starting an excavation business I've been using lucas red and tacky as its already in the gun for the equipment. I think the fact that we do grease these machines every now and then is the key. Thanks for watching and taking the time to ask a really good question in the comments. Cheers
usually go with marine grease if I don't feel like paying for the can ams grease, because its naturally water resistant. thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a good question in the comments. Cheers

Great videos. I have a 12 commander and 19 outlander and reference your videos before I do the pm on each.
that's awesome, I appreciate the kind words. more vids for the atv's to come if I can catch up on all my construction commitments. Cheers
Great video man, straight to the point. Excited to do this on my 500L later.
awesome glad it was helpful and appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Cheers
Very helpful. I use those little caps on the zerks so I can keep track of where they are, esp those under the ATV.
nice, that's a great tip as the zerks never take grease correctly when dirty and those caps would have that great double benefit of locating them easier and keeping all the mud off tips on these machines. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to share a good tip in the comments. Cheers
Man this really helped, thank you
glad it was helpful, whatever it is, I didn't do it... haha thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment cheers

Thanks man! I find on my bike it’s so hard to get the grease gun off the fittings tho lol so annoying.
always a pita, the wiggle and yank technique is only relief I've found for that issue. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to share your experience in the comments. Cheers
Just turn the end of the nozzle, even a cheap gun has a threaded tighten & losen tip. Most people don't know and just force it

Do I have to use a certain type of Grease

Nice, Thank you for sharing, I'm sure anyone with one of the newer machines will appreciate seeing that. Where are the additional 2 in the front located, just curious? Thanks for watching, and taking the time to leave a comment with additional info. Cheers.
@@EscapePowerSports I believe it's on a sway bar. Up high behind the radiator
@@twigg5702 hell yeah, thanks for sharing
Why did you sell your XMR?
Selling bikes keeps the lights on, and beer on the table. almost every machine you'll see on this channel is for sale, cheers
dont shake so much and stay on the fitting for a few seconds.

You’re putting way too much grease in there my man you’re blowing the seals out, pump till it gets hard and then stop.

what type of grease do you go with?
Nevermind, I see you put it in the description. Now I have to learn to read. Great vid on something no one tends to remember to do!
