The Honda engineers who designed the air filter system for the Honda Pioneer 1000 must have been drunk.
Seriously, they designed an engine air intake system with a wet sump and no drain to allow water to escape, then placed the intake in the front to ensure that its always full of water. And if the machine is never submerged, condensation will probably fill it anyway, except that it might take a little longer. Adding insult to injury, they also made the air filter box difficult to access by putting it under the bed and requiring tools to open it, then using a secondary plastic cover to hide the entire mess.
But hey, at least they remembered to include some sweet sound resonance chambers in the air intake tube. We can't be reminding people that it's there with all that pesky noise, now can we? Never fear, I'm sure the Honda engineers are working on a fix, just like that plastic thing they came up with for the front air intake inlet.
