Pioneer questions

[Pioneermack]

Got my hands on a p1k-5 last Friday. Got a great deal (I think) on a deluxe model 2016 with 2200 miles and a 3 year old aluminum trailer all for 16k. Also came with a set of aftermarket wheels and tires. Machine is super clean, the people who owned it were retired and only used it on the paved roads around their cabin. I know this is more or less true because there isn’t a scratch on the frame of the machine anywhere. My question is, is there any maintenance that I should pay special attention to since it was more than likely driven at higher speeds? Clutches, wheel bearings trans parts etc? New to the sxs world and any advice is helpful.

I think the most important thing you can do when getting a used machine is to make sure your shifters are properly adjusted.

Any issues here lead to problems in low and reverse gears.

Do the rear diff shift box adjustment with both wheels in the air and hand-turning the tires to assure smooth engagement / disengagement of the lockers. The service manual method of adjusting to alignment marks is insufficient here.

Make sure your P-R-N-H-L shifter centers nice and evenly around Neutral per the service manual.

Make sure you go to full stop and idle between shifts!

I highly recommend a $40 wheel bearing greaser for regular maintenance. And check your brake pads, go ahead and buy your next set, they don't last all that long.

Check recall status, there are several. If you get me the VIN, i can find out for you. I can also see if the clutch update has been done.

Also check for the enlarged drains in the seat rails. They'll help keep water out of the fuel tank and sub trans.

Thank y’all for the advice! The vin is 1HFVE0426G4003979. The previous owner told me they’d had the two recalls that they were aware of fixed at their local dealership. I think it was something to do with the clutches and the cabin heat issue. I actually just ordered a wheel bearing grease tool last night, when I grease them I’ll go ahead and look at the brake pads

Check to see if the vent lines have been extended if not you may want to do that especially if you will be trail riding, it’s a simple task only takes a couple of hours maybe, (depends on how much beer you drink in the process) and it’s good insurance. Congrats on the new ride and welcome from the mountains of WNC.

Welcome from the once great state of Colorado.

If you don't have the maintenance records, I'd change the diffs, sub trans and engine oil/filters.

This is a Talon skid but drain locations are the same.

Thank y’all! I’m looking at picking up some new tires in the next couple months. It currently has 28x10x14 dot approved tires but I’m thinking of putting some boggers of the same size. Thoughts?
