  1. Do not currently own
Yes it is. I tightened those grounds upon delivery. I also found a seat belt bolt barely hanging on. I was missing two brake line bolts that hold the line to be A-arm. I tightened all the ROPS bolts. I can't remember what else.

Oh yeah, I also out dielectric grease on all the connectors I could find.

I tightened the loose clamps on the intake tube. You must check that.

Maybe that's the high points.
Thanks for the info. My money will not be going to honda for this steaming pile of crap. If I wanted poor quality I could buy a high end Polaris.

Same here. She turned 3700 miles today going to town. Still averaging less than 12mph so it spends majority of time in mud/rocks.
Have you had the clutch improvements? I'm really glad I bought the Honda, don't know if the other brands would taken care of the issues like Honda did.

No I'm not touching it til there's a problem (or 2020 whichever comes first). Far as I know nobody in our riding group has had it done and nobody with clutch issues. Y'all have seen the vids. We ride em rough.

If you do a search on air intakes or snorkeling, you will see that most everybody snorkels theirs for this exact reason. The intake is designed in such a way that hitting a puddle even at high speed is enough to cause these things to swallow a ton of water. Here is mine for example, their are a hundred ways to do it though

WHERE and HOW is the water entering so easily? The intake is under the HOOD isn't it, which should not be a problem for 8" of water.

Hard to find a good fix for that "LOOSE NUT BEHIND THE WHEEL!"
I have washed and scrubbed Rooster and the pups still come running anytime they hear the door open or close on Rooster, don't think it has anything to do with sent, I think they like to ride as much as I do!
