Hello from Florida

[Daolin]

Hello there,

So I impulse bought a Honda Pioneer 1k-5 this past week and drove my family to Durhamtown in Ga and what a blast we had. Just want to say thanks for having a forum for us newbs to read through and gain insight on how to enjoy ourselves even more. Below is our ride after half of a day there and I must say the Pioneer dude wonderfully all over that place. I even did a drag race in sport automatic 2wd mode against a Yamaha 1000-r in 4wd manual and only lost by a length and a half, so I was pretty impressed. The front is very comfortable even hitting some places at 25-30 mph with bumps, but the back is brutal on the back and neck. I gotta find a way to make that ride more comfortable. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks again for the forum here. Looking forward to learning more.

Welcome to the forum from Arkansas! I think you will have a great time with your new Pioneer!

Well the most frugal answer is to slow down, LOL. The best answer which is way more fun is to start buying aftermarket parts and shocks are in your near future.

Welcome to the forum!

You've got a super nice machine there. Congrats on the purchase.

Do some research on here as there may be some things to are important for you to know. For example, a snorkel is very important. Or a heat shield and blower fan will help with the heat a lot.
