P500 Honda Pioneer 500 - 1400km's and 2 Years Later

[CptOvo]

Hi All

Just wanted to share my 2 year 1400 km's video where I talk about my thoughts on the the Honda Pioneer 500 and longer term wear and tear.

Overall the machine has held up very well. I do use my machines hard but never abuse them, so the 1400km has been mainly on rough trails. I also got a stick in a CV boot during this outing :/ I will be making a 3D printed cover for the inside right front boot as its the only one that is exposed to front on damage. Who knew!

I do think the machine is excellent for my needs but would like a front locking differential and a bigger engine but also still 50" wide. What ever happened to that company that was going to make a front locker?

Any feedback is most welcome

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Regards

Ovo

Hi Chooglin

Ya - been a while since posting but I read the forums a lot - some great info (especially the locker thread).

I'm looking to buy one as this will be a game changer for the P500 - I looked at the company website and the technology looks simple but effective. Can't wait!

I should have a new P500 video in the next few weeks as I have that CV boot to change and the guard to design and print.

Best wishes

Ovo
