Since we’re on clutch issues here my 2020 is just starting to act like it’s wants to shift into a lower gear when I’m slowing down to make a stop and it's never done that before. Any ideas?

So are the inferno heaters good or mid card? Because I have read both on reviews. Looking for something for my 2020 single cab

interesting to say the least!

4 bolts hold the whole drivers seat in. take them out then the whole seat comes out then you can easily take the torx screws out. it takes a little bit to get the back 2 bolts out of the bottom seat but not bad.

four bolts hold the drivers seat in place and two set screws hold the back part of the seat on. took a little bit but i got it

ok i see the torx for the back seat on the drivers side but how does the drivers bottom seat come off? i am putting seat covers on also. i see that it has bolts in it but it almost looks like the whole seat frame comes out?

i did go with the  KEMIMOTO UTV Seat Covers off of amazon pretty simple for install and look pretty good. will see hoe they last with dogs. Now back to the install i have all the seats done but the drivers side because i have no clue how those seats come off since it looks like it all comes out in one piece?

Looking to see what’s out there for a 2020 defender for seat covers if anybody has any info that would be awesome! No need to buy a $280 dollar bottom seat from can am! The upholstery shop near me would have to staple new fabric on and I don’t think that’ll last.

they must have forgot to update there website today

i did my x3 bearings when i first got it and at 2000 miles.  now have 5000 miles on it and havent done it since.  i am not sure that i will any more.  i am not planning to do my defender, so we will see what happens with that.  

its a couple hours worth of messing around to do them. not hard work but work none the less.

talked to the can am mechanic in our area about greasing them on my 2020 defender and he said they are sealed so no need to worry about greasing them? I don't think that's right our i guess im wrong?

love the colors!

i have the same problems with my shocks also and spray them and everything else but no cure on my 2020 defender.  

Have you ever used anything different than the pop rivets on your belly pan? I was thinking of looking for some large flange self tappers pan heads with a hex head or something so you can take them out a lot faster than with a drill or two claw hammers in my case.

Can ams warranty OR LACK THERE OF!!! SUCKS!!! Blew my Viscolok front diff.... less than 12 months and under 2000 miles... was told, "warranty doesn't cover that if it's broken" I looked at him (trying not to punch him in the face) and said, "WHY THE "F" WOULD I NEED IT WARRANTED IF IT WEREN'T BROKEN?!!!!" It's like they have a 12 step warranty. 12 steps out the door? WARRANTY IS OVER!!! So now I will be installing a Halo locker..... So lets see.... Front axles..... NO WARRANTY!!! Faulty window switches.... NO WARRANTY!!! DPS on the fritz.... NO WARRANTY!!! OR TIME!!! Left front caliper??? You guessed it.... NO WARRANTY!!!! NOW THE FRONT DIFF???? WOW!!!! AND I LOVE THIS THING????? YEP!!! LOVE MY BEAR.... HATE MY MANUFACTURERS BULL PUCKY!!! Hence the reason I bought a buds unit!!! (Aftermarket)

Pretty IRRITATING to say the least

Joe

what aftermarket buds unit did you buy?

so checked with a different dealer since i had nothing to lose and they told me that can am will cover it but it has to be done by the end of January of 23. So parts are ordered hoping to get it in there this week or next. funny how some dealers will help and others don't care!

What state you in and what dealer was it. Going to take my 2020 in this week for same issue. Anyone else had this fixed?

not yet because my 2020 has no warranty and my dealer said it would be out of my pocket to cover cost even though its a can am problem that they are totally aware of.

What was the cost

Honestly I don’t know because I didn’t ask I figured I’d do some research and try fixing it myself 

just started noticing this problem also in our 2020 defender now that i put the doors back on. Going to have to check afew things out i guess

mine starts up fine when it hasn't been running but after it gets warmed up it acts like it wants to die when you stop and sometimes it does. then you can crank and crank it over for 5-8 seconds and pump the gas pedal and it will start with a back fire and roll smoke out. changed the plugs and air filter and going to try running 91 through it. have been running 87 since i bought it. will see what happens or ill be looking at a new fuel pump

Didnt cost me a dime.

my dealer said it would be out of my pocket since my warranty is up!

was thinking about greasing the bearings on my 2020 hd 10 defender. it has 7,000 miles on it. lots of information in this thread. Sounds like you have to take a bunch of stuff apart to even get started. Is there any videos on YouTube or somewhere else on what to do because I haven't found one yet? and is this the right greasing tool i need in this thread? Any advice would be awesome! Or does it even need greased?

Got my defender back yesterday.Seems to be good now.

Did your dealer fix it for free or did you cover the cost? My dealer says he can’t answer that question yet until the can am website is back up and running.

I have same problem when turning right or left. Like a rubbing binding sound. I went to my dealer after work. He said yes a service bulletin came out last month to fix this common problem.  He printed the bulletin out for me. Has a spacer,a cotter pin, a clutch kit, a belleville washer,and new fluid. He is ordering the parts tomorrow for it. Guess I will take mine in next week to try it on mine.says on the bulletin expires Jan 31 2023 if anyone here needs to get this fix.

is this a recall? first i have heard of this or i guess you would have thought the dealer would have emailed or called? and i'm guessing your eating the bill?

when i crank the wheel all the way to the right as im moving the right front end makes like a small grinding noise but that's the only time it does it? basically when im pulling into my driveway or a parking lot. not sure what that is?

looking to put led brake lights on my 2020 defender. any suggestions?
