Wow. That is just like what we have in the Okefenokee Swamp. The name actually means Land of the trembling earth. Dammit man I would stay the hell out of that for sure. I guess if that is where you need to go and what you have to go through to get there than you need to re- think your choice of machines for sure. Good luck.
I bought mine in april this year I'm running 29.5 and I also have to bring it back in to replace the clutch again not even 50mile apart ant it took over a month to get the machine back 274 miles on it know 200 of that was stock tiers. I was thinking of sending the parts to get a 25% gear reduction and see if that would eliminate the problem It would be nice to get some feed back if any one got it dun I have a month to wait again
First Welcome! What kind of terrain are you ridding and how fast? I had a clutch failure early, nobody told not to try backing up really slow and that high was for dirt roads. Low is for trail ridding. There is a member on here that's having mutiable clutch failures, he a smart cookie and he will figure it out, so you might watch for Cummins Pusher threads In Burnt out clutches. They replaced my clutches and chamfered the oil relief valves, haven't had an issue since. I haven't heard of any body else that had the oil relief valve chamfered?????????????
I think the salesmen do a lot of damage to the clutches, I see them starting them and immediately put them into gear and hammer them to move them to display areas, they don't let the transmissions come up to operating temp.
My brother used to sell Polaris's and has a RZR 1000. He told me that Polaris sent a $ 1,000. dollar voucher to existing Polaris owners this summer and will be sending another for an additional $ 4,000 this fall. $ 5,000. dollars worth of vouchers, reason for this is Polaris was losing customers to other brands, due to poor quality control. My brother is going to buy a RZR Turbo 1,000 for $ 17,000. when he get's his other voucher. I wonder if Honda knows there will be a back lash, if they don't start taking care of there customers.
There us a HUGE difference in muddy water, watery mud, and that muskeg. With the muskeg you have all the plant material in the mud, think kevlar reinforced peanut butter mud. Once a machine breaks through the surface muskeg can grab and pull far more on the drivetrain than just good ole thick mud. It's a heck of a situation, the OP says several other machines churn through it fine. I am a firm believer there are some P1K's are just going to have repeated issues, the OP machine is likely one of them. Probably the best route on this one is to get it fixed and find it another home.
I hardly ever run in high range. The salesmen are stupid poops.
I truely love the 1000 platform but it's already made me lose some loyalty never thought I'd go back to belt. 3600 miles between two 1000's, one good one not even close, so it's not all driving style like some people think unfortunately
