P1000 Frame stiffener

[Stevo]

So have a frame stiffener from super atv. The four holes in the plate do not line up with threaded holes on my machine so working with them to see if they can help resolve that.
My machine is completely stock so my questions are.
1. Is it worth me even putting it on my pioneer?

2. What are the bolts torqued at on the A arms?

3. Once I take out my original A arm bolts will it be a pain to line up the new bolts. ?
Or can the arm be moved fairly easily to get new bolts in.

Thoughts and ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If you're keeping the buggy pretty stock for now I wouldn't bother with it but since you already have it 🤷‍♂️ might as well. The a-arms will line up fairly easy. As far as the torque.........🤷‍♂️???

I agree with Jennay AKA @JenElio
If your stock and not riding hard Id say not necessary.
As for the A arm bolt torque 💪🏻 strong.

@Stevo , you had me interested.
Had to look up what you were talking about.

Honda Pioneer 1000 Frame Stiffener / Gusset Kit

Frame stiffener / Gusset Kit for the Honda Pioneer 1000 and 1000-5 from the experts at SuperATV. Ships free from SuperATV

www.superatv.com

.
from @SuperATV
"Are you ready to take your Honda Pioneer 1000 and 1000-5 to the next level with a big lift, portals, and bigger tires? Then you need a SuperATV Frame Stiffener to keep your stock frame from bending under all the weight. Now you lift and load, tweak and torque without bending your machine out of shape."
.
So, your question "1. Is it worth me even putting it on my pioneer?"
As @JenElio said, if you are leaving it stock, then no, not needed.
But, if you are gonna be jumping and bouncing off rocks and trees, "riding hard", NOHOMO, like @Remington said, then you might want to add it.
.
And now,....... I see that I do not need one. haha!! 👍
.
Have a good day

What year is your Pioneer 1000? Reason is the 2022 and newer model years have completely different one piece frames so that stiffener plate was made for 2016-2021 model years that had the old 3 piece frame. OR its already been tweaked and things don't line up.

You could drive on the gravel roads, like intended.

I think if he wanted to be with the Yami boys he would have bought one

It is a 2016. 1000-5

If its a 2016 and we've confirmed you got the correct one (FS-H-PIO1K-01), then it sounds like the frame tabs have already taken a pretty good beating. This is why I believe these stiffeners are 100% necessary. I'd try to beat the crap out of it till I got it lined up.

For anybody else...I'd recommend doing this EARLY into ownership so this doesn't happen. For machines like the Pio 1k, the X3, the KRX, and any machine with 35" or bigger tires.......it should be considered a necessity in the early life of the machine.

It's amazing with all that like 29hp that thing has, you can actually brake something.

I think he has a 1000 and it is more like 78

In that scenario the Break did indeed stop you

 

[Jerryg]

Pioneers have "brakes"? I though you stick your feet through floor like the Flinstones.

I bet you nutted over this........

Wow, 78hp out of a 1000cc engine? That would be an accomplishment if it were 1970.
