Viper Elite Installation

Well, I just completed my installation of my new Viper Elite on my 2015 RZR 900S. I called my order in to ensure I purchased the correct mount and kit for my particular application. Just a few observations:

1. For the 900S, you can’t mount the contactor under the seat (unless you have no plans on running through deep water). I installed mine under the dash on the rear of the firewall. This required me to purchase new battery wiring to reach the contactor.

2. The wiring diagrams have a lot to be desired. I received several pics, but I was missing more than I received. A full comprehensive installation guide would be a HUGE improvement. Having to go online, search for and print or review additional drawings was a little frustration.

3. The carriage bolts to mount the winch plate on the RZR (not an aftermarket bumper) were too short. When tightened, they barely reached the nylon in the nut. I had to purchase some bolts that were 1/2" longer to properly install.

4. For the 900S, the radiator hoses are in constant contact with the winch. I purchased an over sized radiator hose and overlapped the installed hoses to prevent abrasion leaks on the trail (which meant draining the radiator).

Overall, not too difficult of an install, but a few minor tweaks would definitely help any future buyers.
