Hello, I'm DrWatson27

Hello All,
Just bought a new 2018 Pioneer 1000-5 LE, still haven't actually picked it up yet-waiting for throttle recall work to be finished. I've never owned any atv/orv/sxs before can't wait till I get to pick it up. Any suggestion for a 1st time owner?

Here is a little info about me to begin with!
Honda SxS ownership : Yes, this is my first.
I have owned, or currently own the following:
My off-road experience level is: Novice
My favorite place to ride is: Baldwin, MI & Ste. Genevieve, MO

Welcome, suggestions are going to depend on your intended use.

Winch is always a good investment, you get stuck you’ll need one.

Winch, bed extender and some sort of roof are all on my list to get and probably some sort of bed liner. Plan on using it for trail riding and for moving fire wood at my cabin.

Dr. Livingston I presume, stepping out of the mid day gloom. Into the mid day sun. What did you find there? Did you stand a while and stare? Did you meet anyone? Welcome from the Dark Continent...

I have a bed liner and it scares the outside of the bed where it folds down on the outside. If you get one I would cut the top flange off. And WELCOME!

The bed extender from my experience is just a noise maker, atleast the Honda 1 is. When your driving around with it folded in, it sounds like hell back there.

We were just thinking with 4 people riding it would give extra space for a cooler in the back, but maybe it's not needed? The bed extender-not the cooler, the cooler is required :)

I have the Honda bed extender and use it when I have extra passengers or gear. When it is not needed it stays home so no rattles , but the noise of the other rattles and exhausts noises how could you tell what noises are what ?
