P1000 Noob Owner in Colorado

[lomax]

My RZR blew an engine this last weekend and I was fed up with belts so found and purchased a new Pioneer 1000-5. The only color I could find (actually the only machine I could find in Colorado) was Camo. Danged, ,,, My favorite. . I can't wait to pick it up after they get a few accessories installed and head up to the cabin this weekend.

And thank you for the add to the forum from Broomfield Colorado.

Welcome from Nevada, I'm jealous, My Pioneer hasn't even been built yet, still about 2 weeks away, then shipping...... Picking up a trailer today to haul it home from the dealer.... At least that seems like progress....

Inspect the factory plastic POS skid plate. I strongly recommend at aftermarket Ricochet centerline skid plates.

Welcome from Michigan. Should have bought a lotto ticket the day you found it.

Thank you all. I got to spend some time with it this weekend and must say whoever set this up did a lousy job. I will speak with the dealer but I am not sure if they even checked the machine over. The alignment was set at 2" toe out and the steering wheel was about 45 degrees to the left. Both front doors rattled and the bed rattled. I did an alignment and centered the wheel and adjusted the bumpers and catches and now it handles good and does not rattle going down the road. Why can't they at least do the simple stuff on such an expensive machine. And I had to post again as you are requiring a picture. LOL:

The DCT is wonderful but is very slow to respond in comparison to my Africa Twin. I assume they are completely different systems even though they are called the same thing.

Do you really have to do the initial service at 6 hours like the dealer said? No big deal but I am not really looking forward to the valve check.

I think it’s 20hr or 100miles whichever comes first on the initial service.

The service requirements are all in the manual you received with the machine. I believe it is 100 miles or 20 hours. Additionally, the valve adjustment is optional and recommended only if the valves are making noise or the machine is hard to start. That info is also in the fine print in the manual. The DCT gets smother with time. Enjoy the new toy. Skip the dealer for the service but keep your receipts. The first and subsequent services are easy to do yourself and if they let the machine out the door in the condition you described, I wouldn’t trust them to do the service correctly either.

If you aren’t a fan of the camo you can buy any years solid colors from Rocky Mountain atv, I’m sure it would be easy to sell the camo panels for a reasonable price.
