I used the mounting plate that came with the winch (not easy or awesome), followed your electrical advice, followed your beer advice.

[@EscapePowerSports]

ha that does sound like a bit of a chore, glad video was helpful for the rest of it and good to know its possible to skip the custom mounting plate. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to share your experience in the comments. Cheers

[@54warrior]

Thanks for the video. Just purchased a 2022 850 xxc. The frame must have changed since then and the area you mounted the contactor in no longer exists. I made a bracket and utilized the bolts 2 bolts for the power steering unit to mount the contactor, on the left side.

[@EscapePowerSports]

not a problem, and likely so. Good to know, and appreciate you watching and taking the time to share some good info on the newer models for everyone here in the comments. Cheers

Nice video. I will add that i did what you did and hook the switch signal wire to the accessory plug. It faulted my machine out, and couldn't get a restart. If anyone follows this advice, do not hook it to your accessory plug. The fix for me was to pull up the plastic. There's A little white plug near the fusebox on the front left of the machine.. Hook the wire there instead, and save yourself a huge headache from the faults and no communication errors your machine will give you.

[@EscapePowerSports]

thanks, and that's very strange I wonder what would cause it to do that if its just the signal wire drawing 12v from the acc plug? maybe it shorted something out? either way, thanks for watching and taking the time to share some helpful info on your experience with this job in the comments. Cheers

[@BrodoFPV]

i absolutely love how you position the camera in the perfect spot for evryr step to show where each bolt, screw, and nut would be and find this extremely helpful. keep up the great work

[@EscapePowerSports]

no problem, I figure if a video is worth doing its worth doing right. Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. cheers

Hey man, how different are the g1 to g2 s ? I have a g 1 but hate how the fair lead mounts on the outside of the bumper , wondering if the g2 would bolt right up or with little mod ?

Perfect video man

Awesome video man! Any video on make the reganade street legal?

[@EscapePowerSports]

thank you, and I don't have one on that topic, was able to find a couple on youtube as well as a few posts on the forums. Thats a great idea for a video and if we ever travel for a ride to somewhere where these bikes are street legal you'll definitely be getting a how-to video on the install process. Thank you for watching, commenting, and the video idea. Cheers.

Hey I got a question about the kfi mounting plate where did you get it and will these brackets work with most winches or if I buy the factory winch will it work with most winches i have a 2018 Can am Renegade 570 any help would be appreciated

[@EscapePowerSports]

I'm working on getting some links for the mounts asap, but I just called KFI and looks like for your 2018 570 the part number is #100920, if it happens to be an XMR it will already have a winch mount plate that will take this harbor freight winch. Looks like there are some available on both Amazon and Ebay. Hope this helps. Thanks for Watching and Commenting. Cheers

[@killaquicks212]

@@EscapePowerSports the bracket would be an xmr? What about fairlead did that come with the winch or bracket or did you buy that separate I appreciate the help

[@EscapePowerSports]

@@killaquicks212 no problem, and the part number #100920 is for the normal Renegade 570. The XMR model already has this bracket on the bike from the factory. The upper support bracket I mounted at 1:57 in the video was included with the KFI kit. the fairlead I attached at 2:18 was included with the winch from harbor freight. Most winches will include a fairlead with the winch. Hope this helps, and if you have any other questions when it comes time to install don't hesitate to reach out. Thanks for Commenting

[@killaquicks212]

@@EscapePowerSports Ok thanks I appreciate the help thanks for the quick response

[@imallupsidedown]

Any idea if the installation would be the same for a 22 renegade xxc 1000? I just bought that same winch and ordered a kfi mount

[@EscapePowerSports]

not sure as the newest renegade I've put one on was a 2015 I believe. but the kfi kit usually comes with pretty good instructions so comment back and let us know how it goes and if it was similar to video or not. Appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a good question in the comments. Cheers

[@PhillyPyro]

I also just got a 22 Xxc 1000. The dealership told me the renegade needs a special narrow winch

[@coltonjvda8031]

Great vid.

[@EscapePowerSports]

Cheers

[@Canyaoutty1111]

Does the winch seem backward to you? I have the KFI mounting plate as well and followed you and the directions but I feel like the wires should be coming off the left side Thoughts?

[@EscapePowerSports]

It's been a while since I did that job, but I do remember experiencing similar feelings about it seeming backwards. I think if we swap the orientation the cable wouldn't feed off the bottom directly into the fairlead? so if you wanted to switch the orientation you might have to unwind the cable entirely and rewind it in the opposite direction? Hope this helps or at least makes some kind of sense haha. Either way I appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a thought provoking question in the comments. Cheers

[@theridersedge]

What model number was the winch mounting plate ?

[@EscapePowerSports]

The machine in the video is a 2014 Can Am Renegade 500 so I used the kfi mount #100920, but if yours is a different year or model I would call to make sure you get the right one for your specific machine. they have a bunch of different plates for different models,

[@MrBossilini]

Same setup for a 2020 ? .... Does the winch have to be mounted first then mount the “ winch mount “ to the quad ? I did it the other way and now the winch doesn’t fit , maybe this is my issue . I mean no winch will fit I have five sitting at home . So wondering if that’s my issue or if the dealer sold me the wrong mount

[@EscapePowerSports]

not sure if its same set up for 2020, but if we ever get one in I'll let you know see 2:11 as yes I think that is probably your issue as the winch goes in the mount first then the whole assembly goes on the machine. Hope this helps and thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a good question in the comments. Cheers

[@MrBossilini]

@@EscapePowerSports thanks buddy , I will give it a try

[@BIGSCOTTY732]

You got a part number or anything for that winch plate?

[@EscapePowerSports]

yes theres a link to both kfi 100920 (used in video) and 100725 (fits other models) in description, but which model and year are you working on?

[@eddietolbert8452]

Can you do one on a Xmr renegade

[@EscapePowerSports]

I think the XMR already have a winch from the factory? But I'll definitely be making some kind of videos whenever I get my hands on one of those beasts. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a video suggestion in the comments. Cheers

[@JP-qq2kn]

Tip, test everything before wrapping with electrical tape. And probably best to just get a 12 pack from the start, then you dont have to drive back n get more. lol. Jus sayin..

[@EscapePowerSports]

Great tip, thank you for posting it. Will definitely incorporate it into the next winch/light bar video. Good point on the beers too, and if your trying to film it, better make it a full case. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers

[@canamrider7195]

That is a lot of extra wires. For others, if you buy your winch FOR and FROM Can-Am the wires are cut to near perfect length.

[@EscapePowerSports]

very true, and that install is quite a bit easier, but I'd imagine the total cost being $400+? so for my budget harbor freight it is unfortunately. Could have probably cut the wires to length and soldered on new connectors for a cleaner finish too. Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your experience in the comments. Cheers

[@canamrider7195]

@@EscapePowerSports I installed the winch myself, and the 2500lb winch itself cost $270.
