Those of y'all that have had clutch issues. I just Drove 11 hours to TN I take bike off trailer everything's fine. Take spin around park about 4 miles shut it off few times all good. Then shut it off for about 3 min get back in crank it takes 5k rpm for
Clutch engage if you press gas fast. If I ease into it it will pull at 2500-3. Took both grounds off cleaned back on. I did notice that both my MT Manual and AT automatic indicators are both lit up after failed clutch reset. I've seen this come up before. It don't want to take the clutch reset procedure which I have done before. Any ideas ?

You have to go through the DCT Initialization reset procedure quickly without pause, it takes most people about 9 tries to get it right the first time.

I know the reset process can be aggravating, from getting oil to correct temp and getting through all the steps just so so for it to take.

Up date. The following day it ran fine for about 1/2 the day then it starting slipping again same as before right after I popped the front up on a enbankment. Reverse 1,3,5. So I kept riding taking it easy. Hoping it would stop on it own again. Well i tipped the pioneer over on it side after rolling back on a washout. Once we tripped it back over it wasnt slipping as soon as I put it in gear. No problems rest of the day or even the following day. It seems like the jolt from tipping over knocked what ever is causing the slipping back on track. I sure wish we could find out wtf is really going on. It seems like some kind of electrical glitch. This is 4 time such events have occurred on my machine in year and 4 months. 730 miles now

Man, Bayouownbeer I feel for you I'm going through about the same thing with mine but it wont last that long But at this point if I thought putting it on its side would fix it I would surely do it HaHa hopefully between the all of us here on the forum we can get this straightened out

OIl not bad but it just started slipping I have about 1.5 mi on it since it's been acting up. Read on some other places that the dct reset won't work if it's slipping so should I just tear apart clutches?

How many miles do you have on your pioneer and what kind of riding where you doing when it started acting up

Around 350 mi. As far as riding that's the problem my hired hand and dad were using to pull over trees while cutting down. They said they never slipped them but I bet clutches are toast. Now, since I can't get the reset to work because of slipping if I change the clutch do you think it'll work ?

I've been a member here since before the first 1000's were delivered. Have only commented a couple times. Good site, appreciate everyones comments and the way you help each other. Will be retiring soon, been studying all the SXS to figure out which one I am going to buy. I own two Honda four wheelers. Good machines. I have read enough now. Between the clutch issues and pathetic accessories I am gonna have to figure out which other brand to buy. See Ya, Thanks for all your help.
