I am considering a purchase and wanted input from other owners regarding noise and heat. I currently own a Can Am Commander and I am considering selling it. I have enjoyed my Can Am but am wondering if the general might be a little quieter and maybe put off less heat because engine is behind the seats instead of in between. Can Am seem to have a little more noise from belt and diff than some other machines I have been in and I am thinking this might be a little better options. Thoughts?

Oh boy! You need some of this! You will enjoy the General! One ride and you will forget you ever owned a commander!
Welcome! Now drink up!

I don't notice much heat, never road in the can am so I can't say about noise.

Welcome elkaggie! When you buy the general you can tow broken down Can Am's

I've been on slow and fast trail rides, and haven't noticed any excess heat. I don't have any Windows, so I have no filter to engine noise. It is a little loud, but not so much so, that you're yelling to the passenger. I have thoroughly enjoyed my General so far.

Having never owned a Can Am side by side I cannot confirm the caparison but the General in my opinion is fairly quiet I had a CF Moto and the motor was under and between the seats and it was VERY loud!!:smile2:
