Welcome from The Great Lakes State 😎

Ask your dealer if they will give you a discount on accessories for the first year.

Don’t forget to post some pics once you pick it up.

You don’t need the warranty. Roof and windshield are musts in my opinion. You will probably spend more money than you thought to make the 500 perfect for you,especially if you hang out here but you will love every minute of it.

Thanks everyone. I'm picking up some valuable tips for sure. Is the battery box still an issue with th 2020 model?

Personally, I'd take the tool pack and check it before I signed for the unit. It's easy and plenty of people have found theirs apprentice tight and had to work around it.

Welcome from Ky. I love mine and second the windshield and top as good accessories if not must have.

Another welcome from Kentucky!

Have fun deciding which mods. One of the absolute best features of this versatile machine is this forum and its' amazing members.

First mod: reverse lever.

Welcome from Maple Ridge. Not far from you. You will get lots of ideas from this group. My dealer gave me 10% off any Honda accessories. In the purchase I included the fabric roof, A-arm guards, short wind deflector, rear view mirror and storage boxes for under the hood and seat. Extended warranty not needed. And check all of the roll cage bolts for tightness. Several of mine were loose and many have posted having the same thing on their machines. You will love this little rig but be aware, it starts as a blank canvas but the modifications are hard to resist.

Many thanks JJdog. I'll be picking mine up from Holeshot either tomorrow or Thursday. It has 110km on and comes with hard top roof, winch and box for $12000 and no PDI fee. I will ask about the 10% discount on accessories 👍🏼

Welcome and good luck on the purchase. Check if the battery box bolts are over tightened, they spin if broken.

Multi - Stripped Battery Cover well nut, P500 issue.

Just a heads-up, if you have a winch installed, the Choog Box will not fit due to the wires from the winch will be in the way.

I just bought a P500 and consider it a "work in progress."

Make sure you understand the tie-down points for transporting your P500 on a trailer, have the dealer drive it onto your trailer and show you how to tie it down.

You can download the Owner's Manual off of the Honda website and read it to get more information about the P500.
