You should clean up your drive way!

Don't really see very many 5 gallon buckets on the trails, mostly rocks/logs, where are you seeing these buckets? HA!

I hear ya, typically just see them in driveway and garages with a trailer queen hovering over it like a 14 yr old whoring for likes of her duck face selfie on Farcebook.

My, the sarcasm in me is turned up to 12 today.

My pioneer with 30’s and 2.5” loft still won’t clear a bucket... doesn’t bother me. Height just means you flop sooner.

Thats weird. Because in my pic I'm running 28" with a arms and fox shocks also hl. Lift. Probably same as you.

The Wildcat xx has a new feature, a quick release belt drive cover. The $24,000 to $30,000 market is for hard high speed use. So far they use Belt Drive. Can-Am should have a trans in the 2019 model. Yamaha will have a much improved YXZ with a paddle shift trans. I think Honda will have a huge fun factor at a much lower price, especially the 3 link suspension model. $13,000 to $ 15,000 will have a high demand especially with the Honda quality. Most of the retired guys put on 10,000 miles in a year or two. Belt drive models need a lot of repairs to get to 10,000 miles.

If honda can be in the 13-15,000. It will sell a ton, and be a great machine for sure. The thing textron is focused on is durability. That havoc is going to be awsome with king shocks ect. They are heavy at 1800 lbs. But 1 look at the components under this thing will show you where the weight is. It's built to take a beating.

I don't know if you can call them men any longer, they may self identify as any one of 64 millenial genders, or Polaris owners for that matter.

Hmm, I thought those roctains where true 30s? Must be that cold air your using to inflate them with causing shrinkage.

Yep. Tried the other day.

While 95HP isn't eye catching anymore, it is going through a drivettaij with less parasitic loss than all the others.

I like the look of the new Textron machine and the easily to remove belt cover. Their cage and body design almost seems pre-customize. Really gives it that race car look.

95 hp would kinda suck unless it's 1000 lbs wet or ready for boost. Basically africa twin hp which is easy to get now. Hopefully there will be some clutch upgrades that can transfer over.

Spill your secrets on getting the 95hp lol

Likely just complete top end out of AT, cylinders, Pistons, head, cam , throttle body. Between higher compression , better flowing head with larger valves coupled with the larger throttle body and cam letting it breathe deeper. Plus a little ECM majic .

Compression is listed as the same for both, and I'm under the impression from reading on here that the only difference in the head is basically the dual plugs?.?. I wish we had a good graph curve of a stock Pioneer to compare to a stock twin.

Both throttle bodies are listed as 44mm.

I was referencing the original post and one other discussing the low amount compared to other current sport models. I don't even own a Pioneer, lol. No place to store one and no time to ride, I like 2 wheels too much.

If he’s under warranty he’s not anymore and blacklisted now, that’s a little more than 10” of water. Even had time to get in a good soak.

If I’d have been him I’d have just changed all the fluids bought a new display and kept my damn mouth shut.

Here you go @Ragnar406 Factory shocks and Aarms, Highlifter kit and 28s.

Anyone running 30s should have no issues with the bucket challenge

Well i bet if you dropped those things down to 4lb of air like @nbomar you would not go over a bucket

gosh we digress quickly .... hurry Honda release the talon and save us from bucket test.

would it not be funny to see the Talon really be a Youth model - there is your Aprils fools @Hondasxs
