Sportsman front diff issues

Has anybody spent any time tryin to figure out why the diff engages in 2x4? I put the cecco pinion cover on my bike for security but seems to me the ultimate solution is to stopping the diff from engaging when it shouldn't. I haven't had any problems and with my bike up on Jack stands cannot get all 4 tires to spin in 2x4 this makes me think that something is off with them bikes that have issues to before it happens.

I did some research and found this wondering if the guys having issues had similar problem from the factory especially because it always seems to happen with very low miles. Just tryin to brainstorm here see if we can't figure and stop this from happening

2017 new battery only 14 mos old

Went to crank up my bike yesterday and nothing happened. Hooked up a jumper everything was normal so I figured it was the battery. In order to remove battery I had to remove reservoir bottle hose tie-down on right side of frame and the power steering motor that was installed was all in the way needless to say it is a tight arse fit. I have come to the conclusion that these battery locations were determined with the dealership in mind it took approx 1/2 day to remove and install. I bought a gel maintenance free from Batteries + bulbs for $85.00.

The battery that was removed had very little water in it the cells were dry 2" from the top the battery. Location is in a location where it is virtually impossible to do monthly inspections without hours of work (on the skid plate below the oil filter) The bike was set-up and inspected by the dealer Zero hours on the clock 80 hours presently. it would seem it would be an easy thing to do when setting up an ATV is make sure the battery was up to level. I haven't been to the dealer yet with my findings it was closed by the time I finished up.

I bought the maintenance free gel battery 205cca vs 195cca with nothing to check. I loaded it up with dielectric grease. I don't ride it much only to hunt but I'm gonna ride out a 1/2 tank of fuel tomorrow to charge up the charging system.

Good evening,
We put the Cecco rear diff brace on the 2015 tonight. Easy install and big difference. Well worth the $$.

Thanks,

2wheel.com has some good deals on them!
Got all 4 for $337 and change, shipped!
Came nice & tightly wrapped in plastic, not distorted at all, like some tires are shipped.
Thinking of just mounting them on my Sportsman stock wheels. Keeping footprint at 48" 'ish.
