P1000m5 Clutch Update, Now Low Oil Pressure Light

[htr4life]

I took my 2016 Honda Pioneer 1000-5 to Freedom Powersports for the Clutch Update, Cabin Comfort Update, and Muffler Recall. 33 days later I receive the unit back and now the low oil pressure indicator remains on after 30 minutes of usage and the machine felt like it wanted to shudder when traversing hilly terrain.

Anyone else having similar issues post clutch update? I’m in the process of finding a new dealer in GA area.

I can't really add anything here other than it does seem like several have had this happen after the update was done. Someone will be along shortly.

I assume the oil level is correct. Maybe they didn't reset the computer?

They have got an O ring pinched when they installed the new clutch cover it had happened a lot the dealer will have to redo the clutch cover and fix the O ring there is a post on here bout that

Yep... O-ring pinched or missing. Don't run it for another second until they fix it!!! And make a note of it and have them sign and date it in case of engine failure later.

Which Freedom powersports location did you take it to?

I agree it’s either an o-ring bunged up or a nylon split ring installed incorrectly allowing fluid loss internally. Get it back to the dealer and no not run it.

Mine was done at their Canton location. Everything must be good - just got back to Silverton after doing @ 80 miles on the Alpine loop trails

Sounds like you’re good. I’m sure your unit didn’t take 33 days for repair either and multiple failed attempts before returning with the aforementioned issue.

Same thing happened to mine.
Took the dealer three tries and one fired tech but now that it is fixed...… amazing!

We had one that had the oil pressure light on, ended up the tech forgot to transfer the emergency valve from the old clutch cover.
He had also forgotten to install the orifice that comes with the new cover, and didn't put the spring on the engine oil filter. But the emergency valve was the last part he discovered.
But it would only run for about 15 seconds and shut itself off, so it didn't hurt anything.
It's a really simple job replacing the clutch cover, and the ones I've done I haven't had an issue with. Those above mentioned nylon split sealing rings or the O-rings would have to be pure carelessness to screw up. I think some of the people working on them must be all thumbs, or ramming / jamming stuff together and probably have a hard time even wiping their a$$ .
Just forget beating the clock, take the time to put things together nice and gentle, put a healthy coat of oil on the sealing rings, O-rings, etc.
It ends up taking less time to do it right the first time than rushing and then tearing it back apart to do it the right way. Not to mention happier customers.

The old adage- "If you want something done right, do it yourself" rings true today more than ever. I mean...a Honda "tech" not putting the spring on the oil filter? COME THE EFF ON MAN!!! I don't care to meet the tech, but I'd like to meet the guy who hired him.

You work in the repair field long enough and are any good, you will become impressed with yourself.
I've been in and out of it most of my life, and I can think of 1...maybe 2 people I've worked with that I would let work on my stuff.

I had clutch upgrade done back in the spring,got it back noticed a chatter noise,kept getting worse so took it to dealer Saturday found out today crank bearings are out!

yeah oring most likely the update isnt terribly difficult but if you miss one step in any aspect it won't work. I almost made the same mistake when I did my own repair.
