Well I’ve had no problems with my 2018LE 1000-5
Was invited to what they call a poker run they said it wasn’t a race so I brought my ride
Well let’s say that wasn’t the case! showed up there about 200 to 300 rides out there most of them were souped up Can-Am‘s and razors I found myself being the lone pioneer
There was four of us in my ride kept it in The new i 4wheel-drive and the race was on for 6-7 hours on hard core riding in 90 degree temp
Had to climb vertical hill tops with front end coming off the ground through sand tracks so deep I shined my Skid plate
Wash board that would shake you till your teeth rattle
Adjusted the Suspension to the hardest setting made the ride a lot more comfortable
So basically I beat the crap out of it and never had a problem

I can't speak to mine because it only has 100 miles. But the reason I bought Honda was because of the endless problems the Polaris owners were having. Most of the farmers have been switching in this area because of that and poor dealership service. They got comfortable being the only dealer around and now it'c coming back to bite them.

Yes once again after my son and I disassembled and cleaned out the gas tank after the beaver pond incident ours and my brother in-laws runs like the day we purchased them. I have just over 2600 miles on ours. Only oil and filter changes.

I think the pioneers in general compared to all machines out there are well built. I had a pioneer 700 and now I moved up to the 1000-5 deluxe and I am very impressed with everything Honda builds. Just saying I’m pretty satisfied with the brand

2016 Still running like a champ! Only thing that seems to stop our Pioneers is the very low vent line placements. I swamped mine again last summer for a second time. Along with five oil changes I put a new fuel pump in for safe measure and will finally raise the vent lines. 😬
