well welcome back to Steve Robb reviews today I'm going to review my 2018 kam 570 XT and welcome to
Northern Ontario and my off-grid place out in the woods so let's get to it right now and I'm
going to be brutally honest about this km and the things I like about it and the things that
I don't like about it this is my second video on mentioning the Can Am and the last one was about
the windshield this one right here I've done some modifications to it and if you want to look down
below put a link down below for that and why you should get the km dealer to put it together and
install it for you and I tell you what let's get to it right now okay let's start off right here
I got the dealer to install this and I got the dealer to install the the previous windshield and
what do I think about this machine so far guys the machine itself is just awesome a couple of
things I'll start off with a couple of things that I don't like I put this on myself because
it has inside here on both corners a quick attach to mount it on and what I found see how the front
end will move up here so I put that on there so that doesn't vibrate around I really think that
km should have some reinforcements in the front on that which they don't and it came with the winch
it came with a lot of standard options and the reason why I really like this rig it also came
the XD comes with a five-year warranty one of the bonuses that I really like is the way the
shifter is up here friends of mine have Arctic Cat and Polaris and I'll tell you something this
570 twin cylinder while like it moves big-time you know the 550 Polaris and 500 artic cat it it
can't keep up to this not another chance something that I read really don't like is this this box on
the back here I really don't think that that it was well thought out because I want to show you
something here I'll close it back up for you there we go you can't put nothing across the back there
now if you wanted to put like a box on the back or something like that well you have to take it
off all the time to get access in there most of the ones I see down below just above the in the
back here will have a storage compartment in the back end not on the top so I put these two little
rigs on myself one there and one over there so I have my own box to go on there so I can take it
off and on very easily but besides that everything is laid out if you're going to get the windshield
this is the windshield to get it's rock-solid and it's just awesome like I say but link down below
how it's not so awesome trying to put it together but I got a side view mirror for it and it has all
the features like every other machine now I did get the the heated grips and the thumb warmer
and it came standard with a three thousand pound Warn winch and guys this is an awesome machine and
it's got a digital display down here and it has all the menus like every other ATV would have but
I want to show you the biggest design flaw that I don't like about this machine tall and that's
great here now I want you to look at this because I asked to my friends that were up with me last
week and I said to them I want you to look at that switch and tell me which one is four-wheel-drive
and which one is two-wheel drive and you know what they all said this was four-wheel drive
now they must use logical symbols you know across the industry and this is the first time I've had
a machine like this my last atv was a full-time four-wheel drive so I never had an option on night
but yeah going down this is the four-wheel drive this is the two-wheel drive and the reason why
I think a lot of people are confused is because they have the the two here filled in with paint
kind of thing you could see that they're kind of filled in now these four zeros are four-wheel
drive and the two in the bottom here just means this is two-wheel drive a lot of people think
that they these symbols here indicate four but it doesn't but what I don't like about this is
what I'm gonna show you in the owners manual right now okay here's right in their manual right beside
the notice the vehicle must be stopped to engage or disengage two-wheel drive four-wheel drive
switch mechanical damage may occur if the switch is engaged or disengaged while driving but what I
do like is it has a down there 12:1 outlet for me most of the time I'm in two-wheel drive and
the yard time that I need the four-wheel drive I usually got quite a bit in advance to know I'm
going on but somebody who takes this off on the trails I don't know I think that km should be
like the rest of my friends ATVs they just have a lever they pull over or they hit a button and
in slow speed only you can automatically just go right into your four-wheel drive or take it
out you don't have to stop because I did go on a couple of trails and there was a couple of bogs
there not nothing big I don't go to no great big swamps or anything but yeah I had to stop before
and then after I get out I take it on a two-wheel drive to come to a stop again do any of you have
this machine and just hit the four-wheel drive have you had any problems because it says you may
break the machine if you do and you know I think km you know for 2018 model year it should be shift
on the fly at a low speed like you know most other manufacturers but overall would I buy this machine
again absolutely guys I mean for the money I paid for and you know the five year warranty
and all the options that come based standard on this I think it's a good deal I really like the
machine I usually Walt the roads and I've got the extra high windshield on it I like driving
a lot of roads and going through trails I'm not one of these guys that goes mud bogging and all
that kind of stuff but in the beginning the first two tanks of gas yeah it chugged a lot of gas in
the beginning but a friend of mine that's got a newer machine told me they all seemed to do
until they get really broken in at least ten hours I got over ten hours on it now and yeah
it's a lot more efficient I was just out the other day and we're 70 miles in this trail up here and
I've heard to have tank of gas in 70 miles but I mean that's going up and down and you know and it
was just three hours you know for half a tank of gas I thought that was pretty good so thanks for
joining me here today and this is the 2018 cam and 570 XT and I think it's the bomb it's just
absolutely fantastic there's a couple of quirks on I don't like like you say like that back little
compartment there I don't like that and I wish the four-wheel drive was automatic on-the-fly kind of
stuff and I appreciate it if any of yous guys have one of these machines whether you actually
do going slow put it in and four-wheel drive and take a note you know while you're driving slow
just guys take care come back if you have seen this channel before you're welcome to subscribe
