I’m racing my 2016 Sportsman XP1000 this season and need help with the tether. Please don’t post a link to all the other threads as I have read them all and haven’t found the answer!!

I’ve tried an open circuit switch in line on the red/black wire coming off the ignition. When the tether is pulled, it blows the fuse.

I also have closed circuit switches that we’ve tried with the coil, but blew fuses. I’m not confident that we had that switch hooked up correctly though.

The sportsman and scrambler should be the same harness, so any advice is appreciated!

Hi I have an 07 sportsman 500 efi and I noticed this weekend that sometimes when I'm giving it full throttle the tach will suddenly start fluctuating alot and then drop down to zero rpms and then the battery light will come on. If I let off the throttle it will go back to the correct rpm(I assume) and battery light turns off. Doesn't seem to have any issues with performance or anything and the battery has never died on me it always starts. But then again I just bought it this year and only have about 5-6 hours of plowing and maybe 20 miles of riding on it so far.

Any ideas what this could be?

Hi Folks,

I have the canam mirrors that screw into the hole near brake lever. I also have OEM handwarmers and that hole is used by the bolt to hold the heated grip module. If I remove bolt will the threaded mirror replace the bolt?

Also, bike has less than 500km's and the plastic housing on the module is cracked...its brittle and about to come completely off. I understand BRP has updated the design so not sure if I can get a part to fix it. I've noticed others have purchased aftermarket plates to rivet/epoxy on the housing. I've searched but can't seem to find someone selling them in Canada.

Anybody have any input?

I'm on vacation in Santa Fe, NM. On the way into town I noticed a side by side driving down a frontage road close to the highway. Later in the day I was walking the beagle and noticed an ATV riding down the secondary road in front of our campground.

Hummmm.... So I googled it, and sure enough New Mexico passed and signed into law a street legal ATV / UTV law. I do not have all the regulations, but generally I read about mirrors, turn signals, license plates and the like.

This is great news to me. I now think all of the border states of my home state Colorado have street legal laws. Street legal would be huge in Colorado. There are so many "dirt roads" going into the mountains that are scenic and frankly a bit difficult for anything but a Jeep. Last year we had a resident stop by our unload parking area and say "you guys don't plan on riding those things up this gravel road?" Sure we said, have been doing it for years. There is no parking room at the trailhead and the road is very rough for our small trailers. The guy said "well, you're breaking the law". Not in New Mexico we aren't. Notice my license plate and registration.

Love it!
