. I've fried my clutch packs for just climbing up and down hills with a heavy load. I also didn't know It is best to do all this in low gear. Lesson learned I guess. Now I drive low gear with manual everywhere. Runs like a dream and it shifts smoother manually. Are you running your P1000 all in low gear in these pictures?

I fried mine backing up a steep hill to haul fire wood with 168 miles on it. Won't do that again!

High range is for unloaded flat dirt roads and pavement only.

Butt!! HA!
I mean.. come on. They don't send us home with a book on them for nothing. Issues like that could easily be resolved with folks reading. That's not the issue with all machines... but the user error can be easily solved with a little reading.

Hey the sales people, get in them a hammer them, to put them out for display, Ive seen it every time I drop off ma S x S early in the morning, the sales should let you know. But the sales dept are dumb as a box of rocks!!!!!!!!!! I talked to one last Friday about the Fox shocks, about all he knew was it held the machine up. And that was at Heartland Honda in Springdale Arkansas. Good Lord!!!!
