I would recommend mounting the relay up where it’s dry. My 2021 grizzly xtr came with a factory warn winch and the relay lasted 3 seasons before one of the contact magnets inside corroded and wouldn’t work. I took it apart and lubed/freed up the electro magnet but wouldn’t have had to do that if it was up where it’s dry
Thanks for the solid advice. I highly considered that prior to installing the winch the way it sits. I think the biggest reason why I went with the way I mounted the winch was primarily due to the fact that living in a desert environment, encountering water is highly unlikely. The little bit of water I do encounter is rarely above 6 inches.
It still isn’t a bad idea to consider moving it up due to the fact that it is vulnerable to a lot of excessive dust to cake and build around those sensitive areas. Thanks man.
Good video! Looks like your winch is flipped around though. Needs to be rotated 180°. Currently the cable is coming off of the top if the spool, but it should be coming off of the bottom of the spool. Cable should always "99% of the time" come out between the spool and the mounting surface of the winch. This will also ensure that the cable is coming out directly into the fairlead, and not pulling against one of the rollers before going straight out like it is now. Check out the manual and you can see the freespool knob should be on the other side. Hope this helps!
Hey there. Thanks for pointing that out on the winch. This is the first KFI winch I have ever owned and the 1st winch I have seen set up this way. I will have to fix that. I thought to myself man that is a lot of pressure on the rollers and pin across the top of the winch. KFI had to have rolled it up backwards since it is brand new and I know that I didn’t switch it. I honestly appreciate your feedback and attention to this. Thanks for watching man.
Thanks for a good explanation. It's a bit of work though. I would switched out the wire and put on rope, but I guess you doesn't need the winch as much as we who plows a lot 😎
I have heard good things about running a synthetic rope instead of a cable. You use your winch often throughout the snowy season. Thanks for watching.
@@ManzanoManATVAdventures The main reason why I switched to rope is because if it snap it will just fall down, while wire will come flying and can hit you. That's why they hang something on the wire.
I got that same winch on my brute force and it’s got me out of stuck situations before works good so far. Much needed. Nice ATV
Thanks man.
Man this remind me of installing my plow after I had the bottom plate installed I realized I couldn’t change my oil , so pulled it off drilled a hole in it to do that .. got to think ahead of what they don’t think of … still want to ride and camp with ya buddy PNW 👍💣
It is unfortunate they never seem to think about winches going into places where we need to access oil. It looks like I will be in the clear, but you never know until you actually get in there to do it. It would be cool to ride and camp man. Seriously it would be. Cheers.
Great video Ruben. You did a great job explaining everything.
Thanks buddy.
Hey Buddy ! Good job on the How-To video ! I thought it was very clear, and easy to follow along with, I sure wish I could re-do my winch install video (early days of my channel lol) but You did a great job. Hope all is good down south, Cheers !
What’s up buddy. All is well man. I am so looking forward to getting in a camp trip and some beers. I hope all is well up North and you and your family are well.
I remember watching your video on your winch installation a while back. I think you did a good job on it. Take care man, cheers 🍻
Great video. You explained everything very well. I put a Can Am winch on a 2022 maverick sport xxc 1000r last summer and you have a lot more patience than I do. Good thing I didn't record my install! Lol. I'm subscribed now! Love the Grizzly. I miss my 2021. 🍻 from 🇨🇦
No kidding lol, you have to have patience with these jobs on top of filming it as well. But I know making these videos will help someone out if even for a section of the video. Thanks for watching and subscribing.
Good day to you!
I am a grandpa rider on HONDA motorcycle from Japan.
Enjoying camping ,touring and upload video.
Your video is so nice!
Awesome!
Full supported !
Have a nice day my friend!
Thanks for your support and I hope you are riding your Honda often.
Nice job with the install there at Ruben. I agree having the wires Tucktaway with a good clean look is the way to go.
Nice job putting the video together too
Hey man. Thanks for checking out the video buddy. I hope your cv boot has been fixed so you can ride.
You make it look easy. I think the next winch install, I need to try out my mad skills.
Sounds like a plan to me to have you install the next winch. You got it!
Great job, same winch I got on my Honda Rubicon 520
Thanks buddy. I am glad to get the winch on finally. I hope all is well my friend. Take it easy.
nice job thanks for sharing and i hope you have a wonderful day
Thanks for watching and I hope all is well. Thanks my friend.
Great explanation! You're a little more comfortable cutting wires than I would have been haha. I guess with so much extra wire you kinda have to to clean it up a little.
Winch is a must have!
Lol, cutting wires can be stressful. They always seem to always way over provide wires for most projects. But having one in a piece of mind for the day that it comes to the rescue. Thanks for watching man.
I hope you are Happy with your Grizzly. You should get years of reliable service from it. I have a 2020 grizzly and I really like it. When I bought mine the winch came installed from the factory. But not the newer models. If you are the type that does your own service on the atv, it is a bit of the pain due to the amount of stuff you have to remove to do the valve adjustment. But will save you lots of money. The only issue I’ve had with mine is the plastic cap on the end of the crank where you timing marks are located, was a bit loose and allowed some water to get in my oil. It is worth checking the tightness of that cap.
I appreciate your comment and sharing your experience with your 2020. I don't mind working and servicing my own ATV. It will save a lot of money just as you mentioned. Good to know what I should be aware of or what to keep an eye on.
I really enjoy my Yamaha and I have no doubt I will get years of reliable usage out of it. Thanks for watching!
Very nice work, great video!👍🏻
Thank you! I appreciate it.
Nice job Ruben great have a winch anytime i wire i solder & heat shrink tube wires i hate later if connections come loose . Def a must have winch on any toy 😎👍
Thanks Norm! I know what you mean by heat shrinking the wires on your machine. I will have to start doing this on future projects. The clamping can be a pain to all of us.
Thanks Ruben for the Video on winch install ,It will help me as i am having to swap out my winch as it is old and not working as it should. Question ,when is your next camp and ride video as i look forward to them . Much Love From Alberta " smoky and burning right now , and ATV's are at this moment banned in the province .so Thanks for another Video Makes me wanting to get out and Ride.
Hey man. I am glad this will help you out on your ATV winch install. I plan on getting out on the quad to do some camping over the summer and throughout the winter. I have been slow and I apologies buddy. But they will come. Man that is sad to hear you guys are on fire. Take care and be safe my friend. Thanks for dropping by.
Great video
Thanks man.
Nice job!👍🏻
Thanks! 👍
Nice work mate, are you considering putting synthetic rope on it ? 👍👍👍
I have not thought about using synthetic rope on the winch. But I hear so many good things about synthetic rope. I might have to buy it and swap it one day. Thanks for watching.
Hey can you go desert camping in southern NM with your ATV?
Yes you can go desert camping on your ATV in southern NM. I plan on doing it when it cools down in the fall and winter.
Yeah bro it’s freaking hot there in the summer I went to the southern part it was hot
@@TravelingwithMonterroso14 lol, I know what you mean. At least in the higher elevations it isn’t to bad in the summer.
Yeah New Mexico has a higher elevation than Arizona u know
Just curious, is this the same for the Kodiak??
I don't see why it would be different.
you did not hook up the remote port?
Not yet. The kit that I bought didn't come with the port to install.
A few key things done wrong in this video, the winch is in backwards, the free spool should be on The left side of the bike.
The main thing is bolting the winch to the mounting plate and then sliding the whole assembly and as one piece on this bike.
Also, when wiring into the connection for accessory power, Yamaha provides an accessory pigtail for this very reason with the bike. If it's already being used for another accessory, you can purchase that same pigtail for around $5. Much cleaner and way better connection than any space you'll ever make.
Thanks, I encourage you to make a video since it appears you understand better. I already fixed the spool based on another persons comment. I figured since the spool was already placed like this it was the way KFI intended this winch to work since no other winch I have bought never had the cable reversed. As for the plate. It would not fit in there as easy as you would think which is why I did it the way I did it and it worked out easy. The way I did it works for me with no issues and it wouldn’t steer others in a wrong direction either.
Where is the Yamaha provided accessory pigtail located on the bike? Thanks!
