P1000m5 First Ride Impressions ‘22 P1K5 Deluxe

[GRANITE]

Jessica and I took our first long ride this afternoon! Temp was 84-87 degrees. I got a Tusk roof and 801 Windshield…We rode about 36 miles on pavement (country roads).

Lots of anticipation because my 2016 deluxe was a POS! Initial engagement of throttle doesn’t lurch machine any! I could feather throttle and get no bucking! Very little heat. Yes I can feel through steering stem and gearshift but hardly noticeable. Seat was warm but not HOT on either driver or passenger side! Much better than expecting. My doors rattle quite a bit and they drop when I open them. I’ve ordered those RB3 bushings so hopefully that helps. Also bed rattles quite a bit and I’ve got to figure that out! Machine is QUIET compared to my RMax. It’s nice to have a conversation at 30mph. Definitely looking into the Fox shocks and some Terrabites.

A little plastic tubing and some electrical tape:

Having someone who knows how to adjust the bed works better. 😉

I’d like to have you do service on it for sure. Adjust some things that needs fixing lol

I replaced all the rubber bumpers on the frame and adjusted everything, but that sucker will still make noise.

I cant say they'll ever be silent but I can make them not rattle over bumps. Its a balance between latching properly and jumping up and down on the latch.

Heavy cooler will help. Say a pelican 77qt.

If you can hear rattling, the music isn't loud enough.

Had the ride improved from the 2016 at all? I am curious how it compares to your RMAX after you get different shocks on.

Glad you seem happy for most part. It’s definitely nice to have a vehicle you can hear each other in. I’ll probably never buy a belt personally partially because of that

I can't imagine it will compare my pioneer rides as well as any, other than the long travel ones and I think my brother's rmax rides better than those

RMax with 15” of suspension travel and 15” of gc is hard to compete with! It comes with the nice Fox shocks.
