2015 Maverick XMR Front Diff

2015 visc lok spider gear chipping
vics lok QE 2015 2 of the spider gears chipping the ends off after 300 miles?
These are the output to the wheel gears in the unit. the other two gear look perfect. What the deal with that ? Is it GNK didn’t heat treat them right? We having hard time with the dealer and Can Am even wanting to help with this problem. How many more units are out there that have the same problem? This is my sons unit that he just bought in 2015 xmr and I have the same unit that I bought in sept of 2015. I also have 2014 commander with the same vics lok installed in it.. Looks to me Cam Am would want to see what going on real fast to fix the problem if it something that is still going on are there is going be a lot of unhappy can am owns. Hopefully its just a one time batch thing.

Bad cylinder head?

I just compression tested my quad and the front head was 180 the back 160 and leaks about 5 psi the back head has a brand new head gasket. It overheats and shoots antifreeze out of the overflow. No antifreeze mixes with my oil and my plug looks brand new when I pull it even though it’s been in for a bit. would this be my head?

15 Grizz winch inst

So I have my winch mounted went to start on the wiring and Im not sure where I plug in my Yamaha pig tail. In my experience when it’s an OEM part wire Colors match. All I see is a red w black strip and brown in behind the gauge and a green and white coming from the key switch. I do not see any other plugs that are similar.
FYI I looked in the owners manual and online in the service manual and did not find any helpful info. Guess I will sit down and have a beer.
I’m sure one of you will be more help then the manuals !
