Just wanted to report a good time. Ran all night friday. Camped out. Ran it all day saturday.
The honda is a beast. Pulled at least 20 ride out. (Trying out my new winch) she bites down. Front end drops down digs in and she starts pulling.
Went thru spots those jacked up big tire can am's and rzr's were going thru. No issues. Only got stuck one time. If you want to call it that. Spot on the trail so soupy everyone had to winch them selfs up.
Crossed at stream with water up to my belly button.
Like I said. Everybody was asking about it.
And yes the clutch slipped all day. Both days. I ran it in low and !the weight and torque of this thing makes it were I go thru spots were guys are having to be on it to get thru and I just literally putt on thru the hole.

I took several videos of it slipping like crazy so my dealership which has had it 2 times already and told me everything was good will finally fix my clutch

Oh I will it's really a pain knowing you spend this much for it and already messing up, who all on here has the same problems and what did you dealer do to resolve it. It only has 12 hours so not due for first service.

There has been one that I know of had them replaced has been fine since. Several are being told that there is a improved clutch pack but it's on back order. One was told they would rob parts off a new bike at the dealer to fix his. Several are at the dealers just waiting for a fix. Read the posts when you have time there's plenty lol. BTW mine slipped for only one weekend has since quit. I've heard of a few do this as well. I been following this thread since the beginning.

I think some have been told to change the oil. I think I would try this ( or get the dealer to change it) and if it doesn't work back to the dealer!

Just picked mine up and they ended up changing the entire transmission. So far so good. Where is the bad ground located at so I can check mine?

He said its under the driver seat in an awkward spot he'll show me when I pick it up. But it fixed all my issues he said I also had a power steering light flickering.

From schematics the transmission and engine crankcase appear to be the same assembly. In other words I would guess that the engine would have to come out and the pistons/cylinders would need to come off the crankcase to really change the entire transmission. I could be wrong, but that was my impression. It's not like an automotive transmission where it is separate from the engine. I'd be surprised if they really changed out the whole thing - if that's the case it would have probably been cheaper and easier to change the whole engine as well. Ask dealer to let you see the old transmission.

Changed my oil for first time today no burn smell oil looked good for break in no debris in large filter at all a few minute particles in small filter.
I tried to reset the maintenance minder. I got the wrench off but wrench 1 came on immediately reset again wrench 2 reset again wrench 1 again. Can someone tell me how to reset this crazy thing. No clutch issues are any other failures knock on wood. My frame last 4 #s is 1809.Thanks in advance for help on reset.
