300 is a little steep i realise however i put the can am ones on and was thouroghly impressed with this kit they have it right down to the fuel vent line and waterpump weep/vent also very good instructions not sure how the snorkle your atv kit is for the can am but just put one on a rhino and was pretty unimpressed ended up buying other parts anyhow as that kit did not fit very clean the wasy they had it set up. If I were to do my outty 800 again I would spend the$ on the can am stuff

What year is your 650? The engine and belt intake snorkels are easy....buy the lower part for the belt exhaust from BRP (I think it was 20 bucks) then finish the rest yourself.

Im pretty sure it is an 11 model, I was looking at that snorkelyouratv.com kit looks nice just not sure how they perform

I'm with Big Dawg on the SYATV snorkels....I did one for the ol Lady's 400 and ended up re-engineering most of it.

The Engine and CVT intake are good on the 11....if you extend the CVT exhaust as in my other post, you'll be good to go.

You need some answers???
Hopefully Cyle will show up here to provide answers

 

[jamoanlee]

Thanks for the input guys. I am most likely going to buy the can am kit along with a lift and tires

I took Daves advice and went to Martins and got the Snorkle kit, it is designed for the 11 but if you buy the front CVT intake as well you have everything you need. It is a good kit and it works great. Just DON"T put on the sock for the CVT intake it plugs up and cooks your belt really quickly, learned that expensive lesson last year. I have pictures of the upgrade if you are interested. If you are going to get bigger tires get the clutch kit as well, you are gonna want it.

Hey just a quick question i took a quick ride today 10 maybe 15 minutes going pretty slow on a beach and some white smoke/steam starting coming out of my front end towards the rad? Is it overheating something else maybe?

If it was steam, overheating, boiling antifreeze into the overflow...or blew a hose.... no lights came on? Fan wasn't running? If it was smoke...........bad white smoke usually comes out of the tailpipe.

Nope no lights at all, im hoping it will just be overheating a litttle bit

 

[jamoanlee]

Fan didnt want to kick in. I had it running the rad got hot some steam came out i checked all the hoses they looked good no leaks i hope its just some minor issue im taking it in to get it first service next week i have about 60 miles on it since new?

 

[Summiteer]

If you have a faulty or improperly installed rad cap it may release before the system gets hot enough to trip the temp switch. Shouldn't be much steam unless it was cold outside though.

 

[jamoanlee]

It was about +3 when i started it up. I checked the fuse box above the rad it doesnt shut properly it might be that too im hoping the fan not getting power?

60 miles since new I'd be letting the dealer deal with this.
