NEW to me 2014 Canam Rene X xc 1000.. Recommendations!

[Kibbels]

I was very fortunate to purchase a used 2014 Canam Rene 1000 X xc c/w Winch... It's just like new... So just wondering what you peeps recommend for the following?

Snorkel - I don't do deep riding but what kit is clean & durable
Exhaust - Not abnoxious, one that actually adds some rpm
Rack - Want a decent rear rack that can hold a chain saw etc..
Tires - I'm going with a Max of 28" I still want performance but like to getter in mud
Clutch - just a kit.. Not gonna waste money on after market clutches so what works with aggressive 28" Tires
Cargo Box - is there a descent rear box for the Rene?

I think that's about it.. But ya looking for input & recommendations.

Cheers

Rack - I have figured out going with Rubber Down Customs Bracket that accepts the Outlander Linq Rack.. Looks factory also.

Snorkel - Going with Snorkel Your ATV.. Looks great and only $164.00 + shipping (KISS) 98% assembled.

Get silverbacks or outlaws. Don't waste money on a clutch kit. You won't need it with that power.

Dave's works well, give him your CC and let him have at it.

He'll no

Needs clutch work done

Daves quad before and after was like a 700 to 1000

All stock clutching is a medium for all riding

Who needs to do 140 with a Rene with mud tires

That was the 800. The 1K didn't show as much for gains. Big torque and flat powerband makes for easy clutching....going from 30" Zillas to 30" Backs and the shiftout RPM never changed at all.

I run 28 silverbacks on my 800 outy. No clutch kit needed. A buddy put one on his and found it was a waste of cash also. And really when I think back to the little gains I had on my grizzly I don't think it is worth the effort and cash neither. Step up to the 1000 and even less so. A guy can always put a clutch kit in when everything else is done but a guy needs to put some miles on the machine first with the bigger tires.

here is the thing boys... the stock clutching is suficent for most that are out there to go from A to B and have some fun... on the can-ams

if your thinking on a clutch KIT then in the cam am world it is proven that for the bang for the buck...... aftermarket clutches, not clutch kits work very well on Can-ams......
Clutch KITS are not that effective compared to a complete clutch... so put your money towards a complete clutch....sort of a waste on a kit in the most part...

I posted another vid on the drag race thread and the filmer has a 800 stock.. only mods are a HMF slip-on pipe..
He had stock clutching but I put a cvtech on his bike for a primary and stm roller sececondary.. tuned it some... cant tune for proper shiftout til the ground is kinda dry.. need minimal wheel
spin to check it properly.... you can see on the video that he is faster then some of those other stock 1000's.... even jumped the 1000 rzr that was with us... stock for stock if all you do is clutching... then you will be faster by 1 to 2 quad lengths.

QCS has a great clutch too out there.. its a modded polaris clutch and it works good too.... harder to tune then the cv
and then there is STM... besides there secondary that they make..that most modded can-am's run... there primary is a good billet piece.....

I believe Dave is running a QSC primary on his G2..... I have heard that it is kiler on his bike....

How much is a complete clutch and tune by a pro? I think you are looking at $1000-2000 if I am not mistaken??? To gain 1 to 2 quads lengths in a race??? Might be worth it if you are actually racing but just to head out on the weekends and have some fun?? Not worth the outlay of cash IMO. I would sooner spend that kind of cash on another toy or trip.

QSC was 600 bucks or thereabouts. Tuned by me in about an hour. With a QSC/STM/CVTech primary you gain the benefit of a much lower starting ratio, plus a better grabbing clutch. I drive around in high range all the time with 30" Backs....still on my original belt. With stock clutching you'd be on belt 10 by now. 10 belts costs lot more than a primary clutch.

Kibbles knows where to come for Can Am help....he's just bored. I will end up drinking his beer and helping him set this thing up.....but not a SYATV snorkel. No Way.

When you say better grabbing clutch do you mean it is better grabbing the belt? Or just hooking up?

Im just gonna drop it off at yur house and give ya my cc.. Lol .. I even got the snorkel wrong...

Better belt grab.

 

[the_real_wild1]

That would be nice. In the really deep stuff I have slipped my belt a few times. I am still on the original though. Common sense goes a long ways to making belts and axles last.

The lower starting ratio of the QSC should help as well. My bike will be getting the QSC/STM combo before long.

 

[the_real_wild1]

I still don't think it is worth the cash. I will lite up my rear tires on dry ashphalt so I don't think lower gearing is needed.

 

[KWIK RACING INC.]

the qsc or cvtech have a non serviceable one way bearing. it is 18% smaller for the cv and about, I think 21% on the QSC...
the qsc, if you study it, ( like Dave ) then you can tune it in less time... The cv is easier too tune imo, but I know that clutch well.. over 10 thousand K on one and always tuning for the rodeo's cause of elevation drop..

the sheeves also both turn and that grabs the belt way superior to a stock primary....
not only do you have more grunt out of the whole .. you will never burn a belt UNLESS you are a complete moron! lmao

but the wild is right... for pleasure riding you don't need it... everyone gets from a to b no problem... its a personal thing... anything where the acceleration is more, it feels good in the body.. lets face it if we were not performance minded as human beings we'd all be driving smart cars! lol

You learned Dave the turbo Yammy, let Dave be the learner on this one.
