I got the same Honda mud flares. They work fine with stock sized tires. Will be moving to 27x9 for the front soon, the flares should still be ok. Three years on the Honda flares.

Got the 700 running again yesterday. Feels so SLOW after having the Talon for 4 years!!
Question:
What would cause the engine to sound like it hits the Rev limiter right before it shifts? We weren’t running hard or fast but it does this every time before a shift. If I back out of the throttle a tiny amount it quits hesitating and completes the shift.

Answer:
It started shifting normally after a few miles. Must be related to oil temperature. Engine runs very good right now.

Yesterday is was up at 3:30 with my daughter who had to work. So in the shop I went! Got the fox shocks and fender flares installed before 7am.
The brand new CF Moto wheels and tires match perfectly! The dealership that had this machine had some takeoffs that I got because the old tires were dry rotted. I like these though.

Glad to hear it's running good and excellent job. they do need some warm up time even when it's warm outside, I try to give mine at least 10 min. and in the winter closer to 20 or it takes more rpm to move and slow to shift.

I’ve got to look at brakes next. They work but not very well. Also have the prop shaft u-joint boot to replace since it’s torn.
May get some more pics today. The weather has been beautiful here for the last few days!

I believe the 700's like to run slightly overfilled with oil. @Hondasxs can confirm.

You might like the power steering that super ATV sells. Very nice addition.

We got the Pioneer 700 running smokeless with a fresh top end and engine flush.
It still would not run over 26-27 MPH, so I thought similar to RZRs, the fuel pump was getting weak. Changed that and the starter went out on the first crank after the fuel pump! Changed the started and it still wouldn't run just right. Honda said the cam chain jumped a cam sprocket tooth because the tensioner is weak. That will be next. A cam chain replacement job is about $1000 if done by Honda! Eventually, we will get this thing running to race spec!

I learned of the top-speed riding with someone who had a P700. Mine is getting nowhere close to the rev limiter or top speed.

I would take the exhaust tip off and see if it is restricted. Maybe catalytic converter

I did remove the exhaust tip earlier and the spark arrester had disintegrated. It wasn't blocking anything in that condition.

Latest update:
1. Replaced the IACV to minor improvements.
2. Replace the TPS with big improvements. The 700 will now reach the redline running at every RPM above idle.
3. Ordered a fuel injector to hopefully correct fueling surges and get the thing to idle.
What we have learned is that the engine ate so much dust, basically every part in the throttle body needed replacement. 😖

Guess it pays to oil the air filter. I use a tacky filter oil after each cleaning.
Your machine is looking great. Buying used can be a challenge. Just bought 3 quads this past year and had to put in the time to sort them out. It was time well spent and all 3 run awesome. You’re getting there, soon many years of trouble free use!
