P1000 Getting Real

[0860silverado]

Yes, mine too. I am sure once I get the VIRB working, my videos will feature lots of "wohoo hop hoo" noises as I am reminded with every puddle.

Assuming that was meant for me ... according to UPS, I have once again been at work when my driver showed up

But there is a box at my house. Perhaps I can get a test video up this weekend

If I was expecting a package from the brown truck I'd call in sick so I could be there to accept it.

Ahh. Thanks!

Ditto!

Honda Engines | Manufacturing Locations

Looks like they are manufactured in 5 countries. Thailand, Italy, US, Japan and China.

Those are not powersports engine facilities, small utility engines. Mowers, sprayers, generators, etc.

Honda has three joint-ventures in China (Honda China, Dongfeng Honda, and Guangqi Honda). The first sends engines to Europe, the latter two are automotive facilities.

I guess I must not be riding hard enough, I don't really think the shocks are all that bad? I guess I have little basis for comparison though.

Compared to the 700 the 1000 suspension is incredible, compared to a sport machine the shocks suck, it is relative.
I am upgrading to Fox in the future.

I was and still am impressed with the P1K suspension. For reasonable trail speeds even with 5 people, the ride is comfortable with only the occasional suprise bottoming the fronts. I suppose if a person wants to charge tarblinded not slowing for any hazard they will quickly dissapoint. The P1K is closer to the ox than a gazelle for weight vs. suspension. But that Ox sure can haul a load easiliy.

Now wait a minute! That's a design feature put there so you don't need to pack TP ... just hit a puddle and voila, steam cleaned

Is that like a steam bidet??

How do you turn it on or off? Push on the lense?

The little black thing you see is an on off switch toggle. Should have mentioned it's on Amazon.

Other than the chop sand we have in some places, which would be uncomfortable in a helicopter. I've managed to bottom it quite a few times with a full load of people, but I kind of expect that out of a sxs with a 2500lb curb weight loaded.

Just because something is made in China doesn't automatically mean it's junk. There are different levels like anywhere and they have the ability to smoke most countries in quality. With America the way it's been in some aspects of quality control I think I'd rather the sxs be assembled there. The Pioneer is assembled here using Jap motors I'll bet there would be far less over torqued or loose equipment if assembled there as well

Very true - the product get made to spec and often the cheep junk you are referring to has reduced specs to hit a target cost but all of that is determined by the company that contracts with the factory. I am in the home category and I will testify not all items of equal retail are specked out equally.

I feel the exact same way. I've never complained about my suspension. The front has bottomed out twice in over a year. Most all my play riding is either through mud puddles or over large rocks. Guess I'm lucky cause aftermarket shocks are crazy priced.

Out of curiosity where did you feel you had a roll over threat. I did 500 miles up there including the complete loop with a 2 yr old on board and never even came close to feeling that way.. almost all those trails are pretty tame - tame enough for a jeep

We came to a place about 10-12 miles in that was very narrow with no apparrent way around. It was a very deep washed out V on an uphill with the left side a sheer face with no way to span the gully. Could have been due to it raining every afternoon for 7 or 8 days. There might have been a way around that we didn't see because we had passed a jeep on our way up that was coming from Silverton.
