P1000 Clutch update and cabin heat done

[Hawk53]

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.

No s***! If the atv made that much more, there would be lines of applicants. Less overall tool investment for starters!

As for the automobile mechanic I can say without a doubt they are wrong, at least in the dealership setting. Our oil changers make almost 30k a year. I have master techs making close to 100k a year.

I called about the clutch update, they said they won’t do it unless you actually have a clutch slipping.

The bulletin I read said for the tech drive It it slips replace the clutch and new cover is it doesn’t slip just replace the cover..something close to that at least. Take it in and tell them it slipped the last time you rode...

I will see how it does. So far the rig has been really fun.

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.

Most multi line dealers disregard or are blind to Honda because all the rest of the brands are pretty similar ie, belts. Whereas Honda takes alot more technical prowess to diagnose and understand. Anybody can twang a rubberband it takes a real tech to fix a Honda.

You said it my friend, I'm close to this point in my career atm.

I am heading to my dealership to pick up mine...They did both the cabin comfort and the clutch cover up grade. I didn't have to tell them I had a problem with either one and I didn't have a problem with it either. I just told them I wanted it done! My dealership has been phenomenal to work with and has treated me great though! I am excited to drive it again and see if there is any difference in the way it shifts. I didn't have any problems with it before but after reading this thread it sounds like it might shift different/better! I was under the impression that it was simply to deliver fresh cooler oil to the clutches so they won't overheat. I run my machine extremely hard when I am driving so my clutches were never sitting in the "lugging" zone anyway!

I actually have not even received my letter yet but when I saw the news on here about a month ago, I googled the bulletin and printed it out and just took it to the dealer. They ordered the parts and called about a week ago to say the parts were in. I took it in and have not received it back yet. Will let you know when I get an update.

 

[gpshemi]

get the radiator fan deflector if you haven't already - cheap and I just zip tied mine on..

Got a part number on that deflector? I want to get that and the new air intake parts as well. Hit some pretty good unplanned puddles this year on group rides.

Please do. I a

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

Please do, I am most curious about working mine on low end around tbe place.

Mine has been at the dealership for three weeks now waiting on parts for the clutch and cabin heat updates. Brought it in for some warranty stuff and figured I’d have the updates done while it was there. Didn’t expect to be waiting this long.

 

[jay_man81]

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.

Here is my install and review of the cabin comfort kit if you're interested. Haven't done the clutch upgrade yet.

I just bought a 2017 1000-5 30days ago and my dealer told me to bring the machine back before 2020 and they will put the updated clutches in.
