To fix overheating issues in a Can-Am Commander 800R, follow these steps:
1. Check Coolant Level – Ensure the cooling system is filled with the recommended ethyl glycol/water mix (50/50). Use BRP premixed coolant (P/N 219 700 362) or one designed for aluminum engines.
2. Inspect Radiator and Hoses – Clean any debris from the radiator and check for leaks or blockages in the hoses.
3. Verify Thermostat Operation – Ensure the thermostat starts opening at 65°C (149°F) and is fully open by 88°C (190°F). Replace if faulty.
4. Check Radiator Cap – Ensure the radiator cap maintains the correct pressure (110 kPa or 16 PSI). Replace if necessary.
5. Inspect Cooling Fan – Check if the cooling fan is functioning properly. If not, inspect the wiring, relay, and fuse.
6. Use the Correct Engine Oil – In summer, use XPS synthetic blend oil (P/N 293 600 121); in winter, use XPS synthetic (P/N 293 600 112) or a 5W40 oil meeting API SM, SL, or SJ standards.
7. Check Drive Belt and CVT – Ensure proper belt width and condition, as overheating can result from excessive friction in the transmission.
If the issue persists, consult a professional mechanic.
