Hey I’m brand new to the forum. I Purchased a 2014 xmr 1000 back in march of this year. This past weekend I had the exhaust catch the pastics under my seat on fire (pictures bellow). It happened when stuck i was winching to my buddies bike so naturally my first incination was the winch was under such a load from the batteries that the cables to.my battery caught fire. A fuse should solve that issue from ever happening but i have had bad experiences in the past with brp electrical. However after i put the fire out with mud (my only option at the time) i investigated and found wasn’t the battery side that caught it was the other side where my exhaust and heat sheild run. It melted the plastic casing under the seat, the under side of my seat and my yellow side panel. I currently still have warrenty on the bike until september.
What I’m interested to know is A) has this happened to other members? and B) if so how many people have had to fight for warrenty.
I am bringing in the bike to be looked at by the dealer tonight. When all is said and done and it gets fixed, if other people have also had this issue, whats the remedy to stop it from happening again? I was thinking about wrapping the exhaust in header tape. Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

I am looking into gettin a 2016 XMR when they come out. Want to put a second seat on it like in the 2015. Can am displays this as a mud atv (duh) but also shows it as a 2 seater on their website. I will attach a screenshot of it. I hope I can still put a second seat on it otherwise I will have to go with the 2015. Opinions? Thanks!

Well I’m looking for some audio options for my 15 xmr. I used to have a boss Bluetooth speaker tube which did the job before but now I cannot use it because I’m planning on putting a rear seat on the racks. I am looking into the least inexpensive way to either build audio or buy it. I don’t mind doing wiring myself. I would really like to keep components simple so I can keep the clutter down on wires and less stuff can go wrong since I usually play in the mud. I was looking for something like maybe tower speakers that could mount to the rails and use Bluetooth that way I can skip the stereo part but haven’t been able to find any. Let me know what you guys have that works and the cost if possible. Looking to really stay under 200. :th_smiliethumbsup:
I have a 2012 xmr it shows a air fault. What it is doing is the compressor is working airing the shocks up and as soon as its done it release the air so the compressor comes back on. Any help is appreciated. I’m gonna Chang the air filter for the compressor tomorrow but have no ideal where it is. But I bought one. Thanks
