No, I got mine with the Warn promotion. The brachets where fine, the battery cables were too short to mount under the seat as recommended.

I ahd the same problem in September. It was a 8 week wait. I made my own. Works well. The wire problem that is being discussed can be remedied by shortening the yellow and blue. I mounted my solenoid behind the bracket. As it turns out, the new bracket, once you get it has holes drilled for it.

Good luck and Best Regards[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

The yellow and blue wires were long enough (6'spare) to be mounted under the seat. The black and red battery cables were over a foot short to reach the rear compartment. Yamaha said the winch was made for the 660 and Warn hasn't made the changes to the package regarding the 700. There were several places the solenoid could be mounted, but due to my riding conditions, I wanted to keep it as dry as possible. However, it may not matter because my brother-in-law mounted his in a spot where it always gets wet and for over 2 years hasn't had a problem...and it's not garaged or covered.

Thanks for the replies guys, But I'm going to wait it out till the factory one shows. AS for mounting it, the dealer is doing that as part of the deal that Yamaha is running to the end of the month.

I received my 700 Griz on Sept 1. The winch arrived about one month later. The mount plate finally arrived on Dec 10. Other dealers in Northern Calif were getting mount plates in November.
