P1000 Do I need a frame stiffener?

[JenElio]

He was. He sold his pioneer after he bought a KRX and started tucking his wiener.

Is that why you still kept your JAH?....... don't want to tuck it?.😬

NoMo!

TxDoc sent me a link to this. excellent and exactly what i was wanting to look at.

curious if Dirt'N'Diesel is on this forum?

@TxDoc

You rock.

Lame factory mounts and lame brace kit.

It's like you bought the SXS from Sears.

we don't disagree -
that said, i'm very open to suggestions on how to strengthen the a arm tabs and frame
recently experienced of the tabs from the frame after a very minor collision w/ a stump. torn frame as well.
i'd like to mitigate risk of ever having this most unpleasant experience or at least reduce the chance of tearing the frame.
happy to replace a arms and tie rods, frames, not so much.

I only mock to nudge Honda to do better.

Humiliation seems to be the only thing that motivates them.

strengthen the frame/manage the heat/decrease the gear whine.

my top three issues keeping this from being hands down the best machine in all categories...

Don't forget about ergonomics. The seats and pedals are so antiquated.

I like the engine, transmission and construction of the bed and body (not the frame). The rest needs improvement.

I'm sure Honda take your concerns very seriously 🤔

They might if enough people buy a Yamaha instead.

I would suggest any potential Honda buyers, check out the much better quality Yamaha.

I did, took @Jombeh Rmax for a ride, it's nice and was on my short list for a Donkey replacement but I like the ability to shift and cruise at a lower rpm, no more CVT's for me, good thing we have choices

Just look out for stumps, a bent frame sucks.

I rode in my neighbors new Yamaha before buying my P1K. It has some nice appointments, a nicer interior IMO, but I sure wasn't impressed by the ride or the lack of engine braking. Behind him on a ride, he was on the brakes on downhills when I could use engine braking. The CVT is definitely a deal breaker.

So you get a frame made of sheet metal and a crooked muffler, what a deal.

From what? The sound of Honda owners crying about their cheap bent frames?

Deaf from the million revs you have to hit before you can ride faster then I can run (and I'm still crippled) and the walk.......well, that seems to be contagious with most Yamaflaw owners 🤷‍♂️ something about drinking too many white claws and shopping for Crocs 🙄🌈🐊

I have heard from multiple people that Crocs are extremely comfortable and attract women.

Oh yeah?......I bet they also own Yamaflaws 🙄

The type of "women" Crocs and Yamaflaws attract.....😬

 

[Backwoods]

That is a fact. Instead of multiple people I prefer you say credible sources

 

[Backwoods]

Oh yeah?......I bet they also own Yamaha’s and get all the p ussy. Some day I will be driving a Yamaha and wearing crocs. I cannot wait till then

🤣🤣🤣🤣
