You’re very welcome glad I could help👍

Thanks 👍

The bracket I installed with the four bolts is provided in the mount kit and there are no changes to these machines all parts will work for the 2022 Check the Honda ATV website under accessories for the part numbers are used👍

The way I have it set up is the proper way there are a few different winches that can we put on this machine though and they might go in a different direction or not on the one I installed the cable comes off the top of the spool but either way will be fine… just take a good look and make sure the winch line is not rubbing on any of the support bars for the winch or on the mount if it comes in contact with any other surface it will cause premature aware of the cable

@@Maxsmotoshop I took a look and not only is it mounted upside down but the line winches in from the bottom and not the top. As a result the cable is getting frayed due to the fact that the cable takes a sharp turn down after the rollers and is actually rubbing on the oval opening on the winch plate assembly. Calling the installing dealer tomorrow. Thanks ago for the info.

Those are bullet connectors👍 they click in and out I put tape over them to keep moisture out And for a little extra security to make sure they can’t be ripped apart

Black and green wires on the sub harness or four different accessory like heated grips leave them taped up

What is the part number for that sub harness?

Everything I use comes in the winter coat from Honda go to the Honda ATV website and check other accessories

It takes me just under two hours but I do a lot of these👍

I use Honda original accessories not KFI to find them find the part number go to the Honda formula website under accessories

The sub harness is sold separately. Here is the part number. 08Z01-HR3-A20

Yes it does👍

After installing about 100 of them, I have found a few short cuts👍

There’s also a new winch mount kit that has been released. I have also released an updated video for that kit. If you have it here is the video. How To Install A Warn Winch HONDA TRX 520 / 420 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nwjajJwc0dU.html

@@Maxsmotoshop Perfect, thanks. I will use the 22 video as my guide. Cheers.

Yeah it’s very tight but I can reach my hand in there and get the nuts started and then I use my 18 inches of extension with a universal to tighten them

@@Maxsmotoshop Really appreciate the video my man! Does this harness basically make it more "plug and play" ? And keep us from having to worry about splicing wires? Thanks in advance !

I believe Honda has updated the winch in the last few months and it is slightly different but check the Honda ATV website under accessories to find the part numbers I will do an updated video as soon as I get my hands on one

Yes

@@Maxsmotoshop nice my polaris 450 sportsman the winch has to come off ugh!

Next time I’m in the shop I’ll take a look if I can remember

@@Maxsmotoshop Thanks, appreciate it.

@@Maxsmotoshop Any luck with part numbers buddy??

08z08hL5a00 Is the sub harness. Sorry about the way it slipped my mind

08L74HR3A20 is the mount kit and 08L71HL5A02 is the winch itself

Yeah it can be a little difficult the first few times make sure you get the plastic mounts underneath the front of the hood and then line up the top boats and slide them in place and then you’ll need a lift the whole bumper assembly up and push towards the rear of the machine to line up the rest of the mounts… The newer ones kits are slightly different than the one I installed in this video and will require a little bit different procedure once I get a chance I will make a video about them

Go to atvsxs.honda.ca/ and check the accessories menu👍

@@Maxsmotoshop the link don't work. Thanks

Try it one more time I gave it a quick update

@@Maxsmotoshop thanks .

Yes, the install will be the same on the 420 500 and 520

Thanks Max!

Would be, but it’s also a quick job for the dealership to throw on before you take your machine home

Right, however I would not trust the Honda dealer(at least the one near me) to add anything to my unit. Mostly high school kids with no experience. Barely trusted them to put it together….stripped several bolts and scratched the paint….ugh.

@@johnferreira174 yeah, that is definitely a common problem
