• Lock and load your Can Am Defender HD11 and get ready for some serious kick! The HD11 is a great utility machine, but Can Am left a ton of room for improvement on the table. This simple kit is the best way to wake up your HD11 as it comes with our proven ECU tunes which are loaded via the HP Tuners RTD tuner. The tunes add some amazing horsepower from low end to high end RPM and really give your machine that kick you're looking for. Our AA Stage 1 clutch kit compliments the tuning perfectly by more efficiently transferring power to the wheels and ridding yourself of the very lazy factory clutching setup which is smoother than factory on takeoff. We finish the kit off with our slip-on exhaust which has a great deep, mellow sound while flowing much more efficiently over stock for a big horsepower increase.
• Kit includes: AA RTD4 tuner, OBDII to Can Am Diagnostic Port cable, necessary credits to flash your ECU, one AA custom tune (more tunes optional), ECU Unlock (performed at HP Tuners facility in Illinois), Stage 1 Clutch Kit, and Slip-On Exhaust
• Looking for the best/most badass ECU tuning available for your Defender HD11? AA's performance tunes are readily available to gain horsepower and torque. Through our advanced ECU tuning we are able to modify parameters correctly to gain you the power needed. We are highly experienced in tuning these ECU types and this will show. We go for the most horsepower allowable on the specified fuel, but also make sure mid range power is greatly increased.... all wrapped into a tested tune that is safe to run all day.
  • RTD4 tuner allows you to flash the ECU, data log engine parameters, and view/erase trouble codes.
  • **Requires ECU to be sent in to HP Tuners be unlocked UNLESS purchasing ECU outright or exchanging ECU's** After the initial unlock, the ECU can now be flashed at any time using your smart phone.
  • Standard Unlock Process (Average 5-10 business days): Within 1 business day after purchase, we will send you instructions on sending your ECU to HP tuners. You will be responsible for shipping the ECU to HP tuners. Once at HP tuners, the ECU will take 1-5 business days for HP tuners to unlock. Your ECU will then be sent back via standard ground shipping. Turnaround time greatly varies on your location and how long ground shipping takes to/from HP tuners.
  • Express Unlock Process (Average 3-5 business days): **For the continental US 48 states ONLY** We will send you a UPS Next Day Air label and instructions. You will need to attach this label to your own ECU package, then give the package to your local UPS drop-off location. Once at HP tuners, the ECU will take 1-5 business days for HP tuners to unlock. The ECU will then be sent back to you via Next Day shipping. All other parts on the express flash order will be shipped ground unless otherwise specified/selected during order checkout. Keep in mind we cannot guarantee same day programming or control UPS shipping times/delays. We will do everything possible to turn the ECU around as fast as possible.
  • Purchase Unlocked ECU Outright: THIS REQUIRES BRP CAN AM BUDS2 SOFTWARE OR A WILLING DEALER TO PROGRAM. The new BRP ECU will come to you unlocked ,but blank, with no program. This will require BRP/Can Am BUDS2 software to program the blank ECM to your vehicle. Your gauge cluster stores the ECU information, so this can only be done by bringing the vehicle to a local shop. Many shops have this software, and all BRP/Can Am dealers have this as well. You'd want to find a local shop willing to complete the job for you before purchasing this ECU option.
  • Exchange Unlocked ECU: THIS REQUIRES BRP CAN AM BUDS2 SOFTWARE OR A WILLING DEALER TO PROGRAM. The exchange ECU will come to you unlocked but blank, with no program. This will require BRP/Can Am BUDS2 software to program the blank ECM to your vehicle. Your gauge cluster stores the ECU information, so this can only be done by bringing the vehicle to a local shop. Many shops have this software, and all BRP/Can Am dealers have this as well. You'd want to find a local shop willing to complete the job for you before purchasing this ECU option. These ECU's will normally look used, but in good operating condition. If worried about the looks/outside condition of the ECU, we suggest simply purchasing one outright. The core charge is $995 for this ECU. We will refund $795 when your core ECU returns. In the end, this ends up costing $200 more than the standard unlock process, but saves time.
    • ENSURE you INSURE your ECU for $500. AA is not responsible for shipping delays or lost ECUs. While more expensive over Priority Mail or FedEx, UPS has been the most reliable carrier in our experience.
    • We will follow up with instructions for ECU removal
  • Iphone or Android and the HP tuners TDN application are required to use this device
• The Can Am Defender HD11 is a great UTV with potential. It's priced great and for just a little more we can get the power you are needing. Our clutch kit is available for this model with even more gains by clutching for a higher RPM as this motor likes to rev more than what the factory allows.
• 1 second faster when testing 0-60 MPH with just tuning! When paired with clutching it's 3.54 seconds faster 0-60 MPH over stock! With our S3 clutch upgrade and free flowing exhaust it's 4.74 seconds faster 0-60 MPH over stock! Be wary of others claiming inflated HP gains as their Dragy results tell a different story.
• Much quicker throttle response and power delivery giving a whole new feel to the vehicle
  • Throttle by wire adjustments per drive mode/gear give the vehicle a snappy feel in sport mode without being overly sensitive in lower modes, making it still great for crawling and loading in a trailer.
  • Throttle by wire limiters disabled
  • More throttle % in low gear and reverse as the factory limits these gears to not open the throttle fully
• Fan on/off is lowered to 185/180 degrees F for cooler engine and charge temps. OEM is 203/198.
• Speed limiter removed in low and high gears. Top speed will depend on resistance vs power and overall gearing/tire size.
• Rev limit increased to 8500 RPM for top speed/overshoot. Optimum peak RPM is 6200-6600
• 2 foot limiters removed (gas/brake at the same time)
• Seatbelt limiter disabled (Gauge cluster will still show seat belt warning)
• Torque limitations properly raised for the higher RPM operation
• AA's wicked timing curve is safe for the fuel used, but we do a much better job of finding timing limits for ramp up/more torque. Many others simply focus on wide open throttle timing/fueling. The HD11 timing curve is extremely mild from the factory, and this is where most gains are made.
• Fuel tables modified to gain low end punch and safe yet powerful air/fuel ratios.
  • Engine safety: Our tunes utilize and properly reconfigure the knock adaption system in the stock ECU. This system is very well designed to sense engine knock and retard ignition timing well before any motor issues would arise. This means you have motor safety built in that is extremely well done and works fantastic.
  • A stock HD11 on our dyno was 66 RWHP. Power gains shown with 91 octane fuel.
    • Level 1: Meant for stock exhaust systems only. Gains an impressive +7 RWHP peak and +8 RWHP throughout the mid-range and shaves over 1 second off 0-60 MPH.
      • Available in 87 or 91-93 octane. (Gains shown with 91 octane, 87 octane will be a few HP less)
    • Level 2: Fueling and timing changes meant to support aftermarket exhausts. With AA muffler, gains over L1 tuning an impressive +5-6 RWHP peak and +10 RWHP at higher speeds where the stock exhaust chokes.
      • Available in 87 or 91-93 octane. (Gains shown with 91 octane, 87 octane will be a few HP less)

    • Why AA tunes over others? We have been tuning UTV's with CVT clutches for a long time, longer than almost anyone in our field going back to the 800 RZR. Tuning a CVT vehicle properly is not an easy task as you have so many variables at one time. We spend the time to wheel dyno (with actual UTV tires) correctly per modification, and have advanced ECU calibration and clutching knowledge to do so. Every change in horsepower can result in us changing clutching several times. We also develop most of our supporting mods so we know everything works correctly, and build parts to fit the vehicles needs. Lastly and honestly the most important; we then back up our results with real world data logging on local trails and our facility on 110 acres. It's this combination that truly makes the difference and why AA normally has a faster vehicle with the same or less rated tune horsepower.
    • Our S1 recoil clutch kit for the Defender HD11 P-Drive is budget friendly and packs a huge punch! The factory clutching was very lackluster and feels disconnected from the throttle. We did extensive testing and tried many different setups to get everything out of the HD11. Our clutch kit helps pick up RPM quicker and properly transfer the power to the ground. This is a must-have for every Defender!
    • No matter the terrain: On the farm, trail or at the race you'll notice wicked acceleration and instant clutch response when getting back into the throttle after hammering that corner. The machine will hold RPM so you can get where you need to go, and get there faster! Going mudding? Our mud setup will help turn those tires through the thick and deep with much better RPM and wheel speed that's key to climbing out of that hole. Are you a rock crawler? Our smooth engagement and precise feel down low will give you the confidence to tackle any obstacle.
    • We found removing the primary spring greatly increased tool cost and installation time. The OEM spring works great, so we kept with it for simplicity.
    • Recoil clutch weights are easily adjustable with simple magnets. They have a custom AA profile, the BEST coating on the market (nitrocarburizing) which has increased wear resistance, improved fatigue strength, and added surface lubricity. These clutch weights also offer great performance, and the ability to tune for many different applications or modification in the future, without the need to buy extra parts. The magnetic weights are the best option to properly place the mass where we need it on the weight for best performance for your application.
    • Kit works for 30 - 35" Tires
      • We found that the HD11 responds very well to installing 32" tires, knocking off .8 seconds 0-60 MPH due to the taller gearing provided - these are geared very short from the factory and the taller tires really gives them the legs to run out.
    • S3 clutch kit upgrade (adjustable helix and spring) is highly recommended when switching to larger tires or hauling heavy loads
    • We have a huge amount of CVT knowledge, a great passion for the sport, and spent many hours testing different setups in the real world. We know you'll be extremely pleased with the huge performance gain from this clutch kit!
    • A clutch puller is needed if you want to pull the primary clutch to install the clutch weights (can be done on the vehicle) and our clutch compression tool is needed if upgrading to the S3 clutch kit. You can add all of these with the drop down, see the description on those tools here: Clutch Compression Tool & Clutch Puller
    • AA Stainless Steel Slip-On Exhaust Details:
      • Excellent sound that has a deep tone, but is not much louder than factory
        • With cab models at 25-45 MPH, the exhaust (to us) sounds quieter as it's not such a high note. The lower tone is less piercing.
        • Decibels Levels: Stock = 72-74db Idle & 85-87db @ 4000rpm / AA = 78-80db Idle & 89-91db @ 4000RPM
      • Gains an impressive +5-6 RWHP peak and +10 RWHP at higher speeds where the stock exhaust chokes.
      • Lightweight! Sheds weight from the vehicle.
      • Made from stainless steel at the AA manufacturing facility in the USA
        • Tumbled to a lightly polished finish that looks great, and will turn a nice bronze after running.
        • Extremely high quality laser cut brackets for maximum durability and a great look
      • Includes a spark arrestor
      • Note that aftermarket shocks with a reservoir may not fit with this exhaust system. Most can be flipped upside down to clear.
