Snow Plow on 2015 Kawasaki Teryx 800LE

2 weeks ago I got a 72 inch Denali for my 2011 Tyrex. The plow mount was supposed to mount to the BOTTOM of the frame plate on the unit by hanging it from 2 grade 5 bolts that are also used to mount the winch. Aside from the fact that this causes the bolts securing the rear of the plow to be way too short, this mounting creates a shear point for the front bolts. You are asking the front bolts to absorb the force every time you push into that snow bank. I’m a retired engineer who knows about force transfer. This is a ludicrous way to attach the plow mount to the frame. I got hold of Motoalliance, the outfit I bought it from, and was told that yes this is how to mount it. I doubt the kid I spoke to was a technical representative but was probably a parts guy. If I can get hold of Denali, I’ll post an update. I was quite satisfied with the quality of the product itself but the installation instructions were very poor.

      My "R" light on the dash will not go out when I take the UTV out of reverse and put it into any other gear. Is this just the light switch issue or will this effect engine performance in the other gears?

      Spent today at a Honda dealership looking at their 520 side by side, then on the way home past our Lowes noticed they had several new UTVs on site, so we U-turned and ducked in there. We were impressed that all that came for $9,999 metal whole length skid plate, nice sized bed, roof, windshield, side mirrors, winch, upgrade looking tires… all of which would have added thousands of dollars to an already expensive Honda 520. Now Honda does have a great reputation from my trusted UTV experienced buddy, so it has that going for it.

      Purchased a 2011 bighorn banchee. Needs motor work. Not sure what. Husband is mechanic but not computer savvy. So, is there a manual that will tell him how to tear this down?  We have down loaded a service manual, but he says it doesn't tell him what he is looking for.

      My 2014 Odes with less than 1000 miles suddenly won’t turn over with a fully charged battery.

      Hey all!
      I'm on a mission to buy my first UTV soundbar as a gift for my dad. I'm aiming for something that offers great sound quality without breaking the bank – my budget is around $250. Right now, I'm considering options like ecoxgear, kemimoto, and boss.
      Does anyone have experience with these brands or specific models that you'd recommend? Any advice or suggestions would be super appreciated!
      Thanks in advance for your help!
