Outlander Bulletproofing

My first post here. I bought my first can-am. It’s a G1 2011 Outlander 800r XXC with only 385 miles. So far I have added 26" zillas, full aluminum skids and boot guards, fender extensions and xmr cvt exhaust snorkel. Otherwise it is stock. I’m looking for suggestions on any improvements for reliability/toughness and any weak points I should keep an eye on. I ride 80% trail and 20% mud. Thanks in advance.

Winch question on a 08 sportsman 500 ho

Just got the quad works good except the winch. When I push the button to scroll winch in or out the solenoid just clicks. So I been using a multimeter to help diagnose the issue.When I do a continuity test putting the leads on the red and black screws on the winch It shows I am getting continuity. That should not happen correct? But if I use jumpers and conect directly to the winch it works.
