For a Can-Am (which could be an ATV, side-by-side/UTV like the Can-Am Maverick or Defender, or a Spyder/Ryker 3-wheeler), the maintenance schedule depends on the model, engine type, and usage conditions (trail, mud, desert, etc.). But here’s a general guideline:


 Typical Can-Am Maintenance Schedule

 Every 25–50 Hours or 600 miles

  • Change engine oil and filter

  • Check and clean or replace air filter

  • Check coolant and brake fluid levels

  • Inspect drive belt and clutch

  • Grease suspension and driveline

  • Check tire pressure and condition

  • Inspect brakes (pads, lines, and fluid)

  • Tighten chassis bolts

Every 100 Hours or 1,200 miles

  • Change front/rear differential fluid

  • Inspect and/or change transmission fluid (CVT)

  • Check spark plugs

  • Inspect wheel bearings

  • Inspect and possibly replace CVT belt

  • Full inspection of the frame and suspension

 Annually (regardless of mileage)

  • Battery health check

  • Coolant flush (every 2 years or as needed)

  • Thorough inspection for wear, leaks, and corrosion

  • Software/ECU updates at dealership if applicable

Heavy Use or Harsh Conditions

If you ride in mud, sand, deep water, or dusty trails, perform maintenance more frequently, especially air filters, oil changes, and clutch inspections.
