P1000m5 Bad_Bowtie's Boring Budget Build

[TripleB]

Haven't posted any updates in a long while, really no major updates done, but time for some much needed maintenance. I had a rear axle boot torn, so I replaced the axle with Rhino 2.0. The plan is to change the boot and have a spare rear axle. Also the front end has became very loose at highway speeds and very squeaky just working the steering wheel. After jacking up the front end it was very obvious the A Arm bushings are toast. I installed @RB3offroad bushings when I installed the @SuperATV A arms in November 2019. After about 1500 miles they are shot. So for now I put my original super atv bushings in. Just contacted Garage Products for a set of their bushings to replace all 4 corners with. I've heard nothing but rave reviews on the Garage Products bushings.

EXACTLY!, especially after only 3000 miles in the mountains! 1 bent tie rod and I'm buying a Polaris!

I know for a fact he’s greased them, we’ve ridden together on several trips. I almost ordered your bushings but held off for now until the SATV bushings fail.

Hi, I'm new to the forums as well as owning my first Pioneer 1000 and I know this post is old but was wondering where did you get the Honda sticker for the back of yours.

Sold off my P500 and finally got a 1000 so I can run(or try to) with the big boys. This is going to be a very slow and boring build up compared to most here.

The day I brought her home. The stealership gave me a decent deal on the roof so I went ahead and added it there.

First two mods were the most essential. The extended vent line kit from @Bayouownbeer , followed by real cupholders.

Been greased several times, seemed to only take grease marginally better than the Super ATV bushings in the rear. Front and rears were both lubed well at initial install with wheel bearing grease also. I can send these in for inspection if needed? I did wipe away some of the grease while replacing, but some areas just seemed to never receive any grease after initial install.
