2015 Pioneer 500 power steering install

[crosby]

My cousin has a 2015 Pioneer 500 and is looking for an
after market Power Steering unit and also how difficult it is to install

 

[Mudder]

@crosby Did a 2017, should be similar, not difficult. Just may have to take some time playing with the unit with loose bolts to get any flex out of the mounting plate/shafts. BIG improvement. Ask for forum discount if ordering. Good thread with info.

Where did you purchase it and how much did it cost

Where did you purchase it and how much did it cost

Superatv brand
They will go on sale every now and then for around $535
Honda Pioneer 500 Power Steering Kit

Tusk brand

Tusk Electronic Power Steering Kit

Pretty sure they are the same kits

Got the Superatv ez steer for about $500. Spin wheel one handed.

Just ordered the EZ STEER from SATV. Had it in the cart and was undecided so let it sit there for a week and then received a 10% off code so I pulled the trigger on it today.

The only thing I had difficulty with was keeping the u-joint out of the brake reservoir.

I hope so! What pushed me over the edge was really the need to finalize my dual battery set up so I needed to know available space under the hood because I knew that I eventually wanted to get it!

Yep it's a P.I.T.A

I found the install pretty easy other than the instructions being wrong, spent a little time figuring that out. Only other issue was watching the up and down flex of the bracket, I called Super ATV about that one and was told it's normal.

I installed the Tusk version! I was like you wondering about install and if I could tackle it! It’s a lot simpler than it looks. Just hold the plate away from brake reservoir when tightening bolts and make sure it clears shaft. That’s the hardest part! I got mine for $450 after coupon and you get an additional $25 on future order at Rocky Mountain ATV

Anyone got any coupon codes for either the Tusk or EZ Steer? From whatever site. Rocky Mountain ATV, Super ATV. etc. I prefer the EZ steer but whatever works out to be more cost effective is ok as long as they both perform well.

Just call SuperATV and they'll give you $50 off if you mention this forum. That'll be for the EZ Steer.

RM ATV usually has Tusk 10% off sales around major holidays! I know I'm looking for a new set of beadlocks and Terrabites soon. The good thing about the Tusk brand is its a few bucks cheaper and they also have extra cash with purchase of like an additional $22 bucks. I know I got mine for like $425 after it was all said and done

And How did you do that?!

 

[Chooglin]

I used

And How did you do that?!

A Jack screw to hold it in position while I tightened the bolts down!

Nice..I ended up cutting a ¼ inch from the bracket (enlarging the "notch"). this enabled me to slide the motor and bracket to the left. thanks for your reply! I've a small issue now as it states in the wiring instructions to attach the white wire from the harness to the brown wire from the ignition switch. But no brown wire! I probably just need to find the Switched power lead and connect to that/

Use the wire to 12v socket under dash.
