P1000 2016 P1000-3 Needs clutch update

[Wyo307]

Hello everyone. My new to me 2016 P1000-3 still doesn't have the clutch update completed so I was looking at the recall notice and it does not appear to be all that difficult. Has anyone attempted this update themselves? I am assuming most people had the dealers to them when covered by them but the guy I bought it from did not. Luckily it only has 180 miles so it hasn't been used enough to damage the clutches. I am thinking about tackling this job myself as it is just a cover and some o-rings and one bearing but wanted to hear everyone else's opinions.

Are u positive it wasn't? Did u check the plate?
also, if its still fine, why not run it till or if it goes? There are quite a few that either missed it or just didnt do it and were fine.

Just in case….

P1000 - How to tell if Clutch update was done '17

I just purchased a new '17 1000 LE. The dealer said the clutch update was done. Based on past experience with this dealer I would feel better if I could confirm it in a way other than taking their word for it. Is there a way to confirm whether this machine has had it done or not?

Yes I’m positive it hasn’t been done. I thought about just leaving it but I don’t want to mess the clutch pack up

Its really not that difficult, just be sure to inspect the outside clutch for damage when the cover is off.

180 miles may not seem like alot, but you can burn a clutch in less than 5 feet.

Looking to buy one this weekend. 2016 1000-5 with 4K miles. Clutch hasn’t been updated and no issues yet. Are they still honoring this recall if it did have issues? Why not take it to the dealer to have it done if so?

The clutch update was never a recall, it was PUD and had a time limit. I dont believe that Honda is doing them for free anymore.

You are correct it was a PUD not a recall same as the heat fix etc.

I bought the parts last week (Honda isn't doing it for free anymore, total cost with the oil was about $220) and I am going to do this fix myself. I will report back when I get to it and let you all how it goes. I have a rather large stack of parts for this machine right now so I don't know what I will get to first.

Have a look at thr outer clutch while your there, if there is any doubt of it being damaged then replace it.

I have around 15,000 miles on my 2016 model without the update and it still has the original clutches with zero issues. The telling (good telling) news for you is you can feel confident that your machine has never been abused if it still has the original pre-updated cover. Matter of fact, I'm not planning on changing mine...I figure it's a good selling point to prove that it hasn't been abused.
