20,200 miles

[DRZRon1]

impressed, 20K, wore shifter cable, steel and plastic out, minimal maintenance, 4 oil swaps with Honda oil, makes ya wonder about anything more costly and every 1200 miles (im sticking to 1200 with honda oil)

if the air filter ever gets checked, would be interested in a pic.

How does it ride on those tires?

Excellent. 29.5" Super Swampers inflated to 20 psi. They do really well in mud and loose stuff. Had them machine balanced and they don't shake at all.

Good looking rig, I like your color n tires to. What year is your pioneer? Went to ricochet site an looked at em , I’d say that’s the best way to go from what I can see thanks for sharing

Thanks. It's a 2016 EPS.

I went n got some metric Alan drivers today, I’m going to open it up an see what’s in there, hopefully tomorrow, guess I should have a replacement filter, but I don’t. Always liked the don’t fix it if it ain’t broke motto . The whole thing might fall apart when I open it up? I’ll take pics to verify

At this point I would just shake the big pieces off of it and put it back in.

Was easy enough to remove filter cover, I left the two plastic covers off when I replaced the starter motor, figured it would help let heat escape better. Next time I’m close to Honda I will get a new filter. Curious if it will run different. Small amount of oil at the vent. I own 7 Honda’s presently, I’ve probably owned 15 in my lifetime this will be the first filter I ever replaced. The only problem I have had was on the 2 big red side by sides,think they all had a bad designed air box, I remember Honda recommended a snorkel kit on second one just for dust, not for water. Anyway, filter definitely needs replaced, but it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, a lot of grass seeds in the grooves that you probably can’t see in pics

For comparison, here's what mine looked like at the recommended service interval. I decided to go to once a year.

Dave will you sell me your old one

Ha!

I would like to know if you change it out, how much performance difference you might feel.

At the roots of it all, an engine is an air pump. It wants to move the stuff thru.

0% positive results, feel like I wasted 60$. No noticeable performance increase. at least I know it’s got a clean filter. Lol, hey Dave I have a extra filter, cheap!!!
