500 dust

[Charless]

Question mainly, have a pioneer 500 and when driving anyplace that is dry, like trails or dirt roads, the dust sucked into the cab is ridiculous. Hard to even breath, is this just normal for pioneers?
i have installed top, windshield, mud flaps and nothing helps.
have to hold door open to over pressure cab to keep dust out.
anyone else have this problem?

The windshield is actually the cause. It creates negative pressure and suck the dust in from the rear if your windshield tilts or opens in some way that helps. From what I understand the best cure is the rear plastic windows.

I have installed full top with doors, still sucks dust in. I’ll open the bottom of the windshield and see how that works. I know if I open door six inches and hold it to scope in air it stops the dust. Put heater in but doesn’t blown hard enough to pressurize the cab.

This is what you need to keep the dust out.

Tried the back window, no joy. Installed full top with doors and still dust boils up inside from mainly behind the seats. Only way I’ve stopped it is open doors 6 inches and drive over 20 mph. I’ll try opening the bottom half of windshield when dusty trail/road

Thanks folks, was hoping I’d missed something

Dust is germane to sxs riding, unfortunately. See the Hondasxs store for some dust protective wear....👍😊

Thanks, I’ll ride the rubicon when dusty and the pioneer when raining and snowing. It’s my back country hunting rig

Anyone ever put their 500 pioneer on tracks? They work in 4-5 foot wet or dry snow?

I’ve seen several here with tracks on their P5’s. But are you talking about putting tracks around the tires, looking like a dozer?

mattracks or similarly, replace wheels for tracks. Have a cabin in the mountains and during the winter there’s 4-5 foot of snow on the ground. Rather ride inside a sxs than on a snowmachine.

The last step would be a Trigger Shield from @trigger that would help stop dust coming in from under the seat.

P500 - For Sale: Rubber Noise/Heat Shield

As anyone who owns a P5 knows, the noise that comes from behind you is loud. Especially with a roof and windshield on, it just reverberates off of them. Another issue is with the heat that comes up between the seats and the seat belt latch area, just ride through a puddle with a hot engine and...

yep, sure do.. as soon as the snow melts and the trails open I take off the doors, windshield and back panel and put on the Bimini top and 1/2 windshield for summer, this should solve your problem
