Performance Key

In the manual it says the Black Key is the Performance key and the Grey Key is the reduced speed. My Grey Key has more power when in than the Black Key and also I do not get a Performance Key Display across the screen on my 1000 XMR as it states in the manual. I have a 2015 model so does anybody or has anybody else had the issue?? I heard the keys are programmed at the dealer and kinda ticked they got them backwards and if they did I question their programming.

Pliable snorkel kit ?

Does anyone know where to get or have a pliable snorkel kit ? I’d like to snorkel my xmr but I don’t want a rigid snorkel in case I roll my quad and break it all to crap, which can be done so easily, even tipping the quad on it’s side in the right spot can break them as I’ve seen already.
I was looking at the can am factory snorkel when I got an idea. Buy a couple rubber air intake hoses offered as replacement parts by can am and modify them so I can run the fresh air intake up out of the gauge cover about 6 inches or so. Then by the proper sized snorkel tip guard from Snorkel your atv, as they sell the tips separately as replacements the one with the water resistant screen and be done with it.
I’m more concerned about the fresh air intake over cvt as it’s already protected a bit better and is simple to deal with if you get water or mud in the cvt. Any thoughts or suggestions ?

2015 XMR 1000 owners check in

Hey y’all

Just checking how everyone likes the new 2015 can am XMR 1000
So far on mine I’ve had just a couple hiccups that were corrected that being ignition switch
Other was dealer error and an o ring on cam sensor leak all corrected and running excellent
Over all I’m very pleased with the quad and have no issues
I’m at 51 hrs and have 756 Kim’s
I heard that the 2015 has a maverick rear diff but can’t find any literature
To support that statement. I have no issues but it makes me wonder from time to time when I hammer on it and point my head lights to the sky.
I ride the mountains here in Alberta with mud and water, never has gone past the top of the tires though
She chews like a hungry great white I must say.
