So Im new to the whole quadding scene. Did a little research and decided that the renegade 800 was what i needed to buy for my first toy. Very nice..i like! Haven't done anything to the bike yet but plan too. Kind of pissed about not being able to mount a winch. Any ideas on when the will have a winch package?Also..what do you guys recomend for tires for the renegade? Before i get anything aftermarket done on the bike i thin i need to get my problems that i have caused straightened out. I havnt got the catwalk down pat yet..although i am getting better. The other week i ended up flat on my back and the quad rolled over. not much damage that i know of except plastic and i busted off my brake lever. And yes this was only after putting 5 hours on the bike. I took it in for its first service and the shop said everything was fine. I now get a bit of a grinding sound sometimes when i use the back brake..Does anyone have any sugestions on why this might be..or what i did to this thing..brake lever is on the way, but i dont want to have it in the shop for too long as summer is coming to and end and it is a 2 month wait for work on a bike where i am from.

 

If you we're going to put a winch on an atv, why didn't you just get the Outlander?
It's already setup for the winch.

 

The grinding is most likely sand or small rocks in your rear breaks from the roll. Hit the back brakes with a pressure washer, should solve grind issue. If not take them apart and clean them up.


As for the winch, with a welder you can put a winch plate on anything. Find a creative mechanical inclined buddy that can weld up a plate for you.
