#1 Post by fbcoach59 » Sun Jun 02, 2019 2:09 am

Anyone have trouble with the exhaust system, first ride home from dealership,found the whole top of the exhaust system rusted, called dealership, they informed can am and said that they were aware of it, and wants the dealership to sand it down and recoat it and if it happens again they will replace it.

Looks likes exhausts are plated before the mounting bracket is welded on. This will destroy the plating at this location. Took mine off, flap wheeled and wire brushed it, then sprayed everything with high temperature paint ( I’ve used the same on my wood burner with no issues). 30 minute ride to ‘cure’ it, and all good since

It's going back to the dealer for them to fix.

I'd get a stainless aftermarket exhaust I always use them on my motorcycles stock exhausts from any brand Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki... have always sucked.
