I have a little shimmy in the handle bars with the new tires, can I just balance the front two wheels and tires and not worry about the rears?

Mirrors with heated grips
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?

Great News in New Mexico
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!

Viper winch broken spool
I just wanted to share this with everybody here. I just bought a viper midnight 3,00 lb winch in janurary for my 07 sportsman. I used it a total of 4 times plowing and it worked awesome.
yesterday i got high centered on a snow bank, when i tried pulling off it with the winch I made it less than 2 feet and i heard a big snap. the line pull was almost perfectly straight from a tree about 30 feet out in front of me. It looks to me like the cable bunched up on one end and put too much pressure on the end of the spool and broke it right off.
what do yall think about this?

Sportsman 4×4 not working properly
Hi, Have a Sportsman 500 efi, I noticed the other day the ADC resovoir was empty, so I topped it up with the correct fluid, I then tried engaging 4 wheel drive and nothing happened, I then jacked all 4 wheels of the ground and notice that the front wheels were only slightly turning one side more than the other and it had no resistance, I did see a big air bubble travelling back up the pipe, I see there are 2 bleed nipples on either,side does this mean I need to bleed the front diff and if so how do I do it, any advise would be useful
