Is the frame rusted out yet?

I hope not, it is only 3 months old and has less than 12 miles on it.




Do some rust prevention now

Update: I adjusted the clutch per Mudder’s video and just spent an hour checking fences and trimming trees and the 500 performed perfectly. The factory setting was way off, when I turned the screw 1 turn clockwise I had to back 2.5 turns to get any resistance. I then backed off 1/2 turn and working great. Thanks for all the help.

Well said Jeremie.

Glad its working ok @Deacon and thanks for posting the feedback as it might help others with future searches with same issue. Just a suggestion, edit post #1 or title to add “Fixed”
Note. Credit for the video goes to a past member, it helped me also.

If it's only 3 month old, ie a 2022 model, the frame is dip e-coated - there is no need to worry about the frame rusting.
