Xmr high heat kit install

I have just got 5 hrs on my new awesome 2016 xmr 1000
I have been reading about heat issues from the exhaust so I ordered and received the can am high heat kit but it came with no directions at all. I am wondering if anyone has some directions and maybe some step by step pics or maybe even a YouTube link of someone installing these parts:

Riding & fan breaker fuse?

Went for the 1st ride after the 25/50/100 hour service I did and not 10 mins after riding the bike got "up there" on the temp gauge so I stopped and we determined the fan was not coming on….Towed back to the truck (funny the first time I used the TigerTail it was pulling me 🙁 )

Pulled the fan fuse/breaker? Not sure what it is…but it would not supply power to the fan. Put in a 30amp regular fuse and the fan came on but was not spinning at full speed. A few pulls up and down the road and everything was working normal. Couple questions-

Does anyone have that part number? Is the fan variable speed?

Here are some pics of the ride today- 27.2 miles and 3.3 hours, low 80s and 10 mph wind. It was nice!! :th_smiliebanana2:

4×4 not working

hey everyone ran into a little problem today, went to go for a little rip in the snow and my 4 wheel drive would not engage. i snapped the front drive shaft few weekends ago and just got the bike back from getting fixed had it out the other night and it would take 10-30 seconds for the light to come on and now today wont engage at all. its a 2015 xmr 800, anyone have any ideas of what could be going on? thanks

Wheel spacers

I just put a set of s/w 29.5 outlaws on my bike, 2015 xmr 800, and the rears rub the shock springs ever so slighly, wheres the best place to get 1/4" or 1/2" spacers?

850 XMR plastics

Hey guys, Im considering picking up an XMR 850 next spring but I have a couple questions.
The bike looks sick but I am not overly fond of the white hood and side panels. I would be looking to put black plastics onto it and I believe the ones from a 2012 800 XT would fit. Can anyone confirm this?
Also, I really like the red and black beadlocks on the Renegade XMR. Would these be a direct swap as far as size and offset for whats on the 850 now? I think that thing with all black plastics and red trim and bumpers along with those beadlocks would look incredible.

Thanks.

Sacrilidge: Carrying Gear on a XMR

I just ordered a 2016 XMR 1000R to replace my 2012 650XT, now my dilemma, on my 2012 I could carry a chain saw, extra fuel, gear on the back etc. Looking over the new beast, I can still carry my trunk, put the chain saw into my Gun boot hardware, Royal sells the plastic carrying case. Was Wondering if anyone else has come up with a way of carrying extra fuel on a XMR. I could mount tanks to the back but prefer to put the extra weight on the nose of the machine.
LOL I know I should have bought a xtp but wanted the clearance. We go back in the bush for a week at a time. I have considered Kolpin fuel carry add on, just wondering if anyone else had already worked this issue.
Thanks .:tools1:

Fuel controller ?

I have a 2015 xmr 1000, totally stock….I am starting to have a problem with excess heat from the exhaust causes melting issues under the seat. I know BRP has made them run lean from the factory to pass emissions. I want to keep my stock exhaust (I will be ceramic coating it) bc of lower dbs than any aftermarket exhaust, but I need to lower the temp. I know ceramic coating it will help, but can I run a fuel controller on a stock exhaust without any side effects to help lower he temp even more? Or do you only use a fuel controller on aftermarket exhaust?

quick snorkel questrion

im going to extend my xmr snorkels, to just above the pod, seems like all the factory plumbing is 1.5 inch i.d, am I good to use 1.5 pvc? ive searched but not found a specific answer. im just going to cut the curved part of the xmr snorkels under the pod to slide in the pvc and rout it out up over the pod, like the SYATV kit does, I don’t see the need to pay 159$ when I can do the same for $40.
