Bullchit, I hide all mine in the gas tank easily.You can't hide money.
Is 91 octane fuel required in this sxs?Honda's Achilles heel is the bean counters and lawyers, the engineering teams has some pretty good designs that never get past overly conservative approval process, thanks to the ATC vilification and legal damages from the mid 80's.
Sue me once, only bold new graphics for a decade for you.
Yes 91 or above.Is 91 octane fuel required in this sxs?
My brother has the xtr 4 seat. When we went to winch it over to plug a tire I thought the cage would hit the ground before we got a tire in the air. Then hit some nasty trails in tackett and he came out grinning ear to ear on the improvement.Mine came without rear swaybars . I got the higher end shocks of their models and says they will keep it stable while allowing articulation.
I'm guessing 120 miles on the 9.5 gal tank. I haven't done the Prison loop with it yet, but will next weekend.@JACKAL you've put a good many miles on yours already. About how far do estimate you can go on a fill up ?
That's good let us know how it does.I'm guessing 120 miles on the 9.5 gal tank. I haven't done the Prison loop with it yet, but will next weekend.
Did just over 75 miles today, good mix of high & low range in 4WD. Filled up took 4.3 gal, tank capacity is 9.5 gal. So I feel very comfortable saying 120 miles is doable if not in Low range alot, and 140 miles if cruising easy.@JACKAL you've put a good many miles on yours already. About how far do estimate you can go on a fill up ?
I don't know if you saw my previous post but I use the Honda automotive filter wrench P/N 07AAA-PLCA100, a 17mm socket, a 1/2 inch drive extension and ratchet. The oil filter will come off lickity split.So after my ride last Saturday, had 500 miles on the machine and decided to do the first service changing all fluids. I was hoping the process would not be as difficult as the Pioneer 1000 or at least not as messy.
So with the RMAX4 1000 there is actually 5 drain plugs to remove all of the engine oil! Oil Tank (1) Engine Case (2) Oil Cooler (2) despite the number of drain plugs, 4 of the 5 point straight down and drain right into pan without any mess on skid-plate. The Oil Tank drain plug is angled back and down and barely gets any oil on frame rail and only when down to dripping. The RMAX4 has a spin-on oil filter that I thought would be easier that the internal filters and covers used on the P1K series since it negates messing with springs, installing reverse, cutting o-rings, etc that can happen if careless on P1K. However the RMAX spin-on filter is behind a plastic cover that needs to be removed with 4 bolts and a push pin, then actually getting on the filter is a bugger without a supewankeydyne tool to remove/install it unless you don't mind destroying it to remove.
A word about the cover, while initially thought it a PITA to remove, it keeps the engine side clean as in NO dirt to clean off, in fact there was no mud of any kind anywhere around the engine top to bottom. That was probably the most impressive takeaway I have from the service experience.
Everything on the RMAX is just as time consuming as the P1K except less messy draining oils, and the RMAX air filter access is very easy, pop front hood off, pop 4 spring clips, it's right there. No fighting a dozen 5mm allen head bolts for the air cover hiding behind seat back.
RMAX Rear Final Drive and Front Differential are very similar except they have a much smaller fill hole than Hondas, a minor PITA to get a hose & tip in there to refill, but not bad.
Transmission was easy one drain and refill with 80-90 gear oil same as front and rear ends, dipstick right under passenger seat.
The process killed a half day Sunday taking my time as everything was unfamiliar and referred to the owners manual multiple times.
Took machine out Monday guided a small group to the Train, Prison, Flame, etc. all good with 600 miles on it. One thing I did learn on last 2 trips was to use the CRAWL mode on the trail, by changing the throttle by wire mapping considerably from the TRAIL & SPORT settings, the machine doesn't run as high an RPM while cruising slow on hard trails, uphill or mud all bets are off. Still though found a happy medium with the engine rpms / noise at trail speeds.

Thanks for the tool info.I don't know if you saw my previous post but I use the Honda automotive filter wrench P/N 07AAA-PLCA100, a 17mm socket, a 1/2 inch drive extension and ratchet. The oil filter will come off lickity split.
Definitely a nice looking rig and sounds like it met and possibly exceeded your expectations.Very nice.
Look at that dual display.
Honda seems to keep the same display designer they hired in 1999.
