How is your LE working out for you? I'm on the fence with what to buy and not much info on the LE.
thanks

Ordered the 1000-5 LE, should be in my garage by this time next month. Now to find out what to mod first :)

I've found plenty of info on what tires fit what and how, but I've not found much LE specific fitment info. Does anyone know if the LE setup; fox shocks and what appear to be different (other than just red) arms allow for larger tires without further suspension mods?

I found a video,
that shows a dealership mod package for the LE that has 30-10-14 on stock wheels with now indication of lift. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Guess this turned into a one post wonder.
Ha Ha thats funny. Im busy working and out riding in my new LE. I told you i would report back

Unit as whole

I really like it. I am still adjusting to the DCT. Everything i owned in the past was CVT. I don't know if i would call it a love/hate relationship its just different. I do find myself using manual more than anything else as more control. Some of the shifting can be annoying when in auto. Fit and finish is typical Honda. Go look at others and you'll see what i mean. I like the doors but they are somewhat flimsy when it gets rough they have a annoying rattle. Had to adjust one side of the bed latch as it was rattling too but no big deal. I took off the 2 upper door nets immediately after i got it. There is a whine from what i think is the sub tranny. Its not that bad it just depends on what speed your at and what point you step on the throttle. I understand its an all gear system but overall its fairly quiet. When i test drove one i didn't notice much of the whine due to short distance i had to drive. I did the first oil change and didn't seem to make much of a difference like others mentioned (changed sub tranny oil even not recommended in manual but is in service manual). Hey its an all gear system so there will be some noise. Seats are comfortable. Love the unique sound of the engine. Power is more than adequate. LED lights are AWESOME!! Skid plates and A-arm guards are a nice addition for sure. Painted plastic is cool course the darker color shows more scratches. The 14” wheels are nice for ground clearance.

No heat issues from seats. The warmest day i rode so far was 82 degrees. Long ride and never got above 2 tics on the temp gauge. Hope its not an issue when it gets warmer.


Fox shocks

They are awesome. Played around with different settings but i think it will take some time to break them in. I ride more on setting 1. They are getting better with every ride.


I4WD

No need to use it as of yet. I engaged it but no real true testing.


Hill start assist

Awesome. Comes in very handy when stopping on steeper inclines. You only a a couple seconds after its engaged to move forward or the brake will release and you roll back.


Accessories added

Hard top

Bed mat

Rear view mirror (mounted under hard top)


Other than that its a beast and looks sharp. Gonna enjoy it for sure!!
