P1000 Clutch update and cabin heat done

[pct]

I got my 1000 back from dealer they did the clutch update and the heat issue the clutch seems to be alot tighter now as far as taking off and accelerating at speed more responsive would be the best way to say it I havent had it out on the trails yet but will keep you guys posted on how it does and as for the heat fix believe it or not it does make a noticeable difference it was not very hot when I went for a short ride but I could tell that helped

Give us another review when you get it out on the trails. I'm still gonna hold off until my clutches start giving me trouble.

Wonder if they are going by serial numbers to send out the letters? Starting at the beginning and working their way through. US first then Canada. Anyone got any knowledge into this?

That's a good question. I just got my letter couple of days ago. I've owned mine since 1-5-16.

I have had mine since March 2016.
But in Canada it seems like Honda is always a lot slower for some reason.

Ya called the dealer. They were not even aware of the cabin comfort kit. Asked about the clutch update and was told that they just got the bulletin. They called the tech line (Honda Canada ) and as they told me the tech line asked him how I new about the update because they just started sending info to the dealers. LOL. Sounds like it could be awhile.Not to worried about the comfort kit but would really like the clutch update done.

Still havent got a letter

It's amazing how better informed this forum is than most Honda dealerships.

Not making excuses for the dealer, but they have a lot of different models they need to handle, and then add on other brands on top of it. All we worry about here is the pioneer.

Ya I hear what your saying but,when I worked in a GM dealership bulletins took a high priority . This gave better customer service and improved repair information. I expect the same from Honda.

Car dealers are a whole different animal, I'm sure Honda car dealers operate totally different than any powersports dealer does.

Well, as someone who has worked in both and done a fair amount of business with both....Car dealers are more professional in all departments. And that's not a dig on anyone that works in a powersports dealership. But many people complain of the quality of the help at a powersports dealership more so than that of a car dealer and lets face it, its obvious to see. Car techs are better trained, sales associates while most don't know s*** sometimes, the ones who have been doing it a while are very well informed. Motorsports guys are usally younger people, not overly professional that work there for a job because they think its cool and it probably isn't really a career for them......because they end up finding there is no money in it and a ton of hours. So they move on and in comes the next inexperienced kid who doesn't know much and consequently we don't get the service that many feel they should.

Any pics of how you rigged that up? Wondering if I can do that too with the bracket lift installed. @txsurfer
