P500 Question regarding our new Pioneer 500 purchase

[bubbasuwannee]

We picked our new Pioneer 500 up today after trading in our 2 motorcycles. it's a 2017 model and once I got it home I noticed it already has 14.5 hours of run time and over 50 miles on it. Honestly, I didn't think to check any of this at the dealer; all my previous new purchases were just that, new with no miles/hours. Nothing was said about it being a demo model or anything like that. The 20 hour service isn't cheap and I hadn't planned on having it serviced so quick. I know it'll last a long time, just the principle of the matter.

What's been everyone else experiences with a new Honda side by side purchase?

I bought a leftover '15 in April of '16. It had about the same as yours.

That seems high for a new rig, mine had an hour on it.

Agreed, that’s a bit much and something should have been said, maybe go back and complain, maybe they comp you that service, if not complain to Honda, you’ll surely get a call from the dealer from that

However, congrats on the new machine and enjoy your purchase, planing any mods or accessories?

Thanks, I may give them a call tomorrow. I have a trip planned to hunt elk in Colorado; leaving Saturday and know I'll go over the 20hours.

No, not planning anything specific as far as mods. Our Rancher has served us well for over the past 3 years and it's totally stock, just maintenance. I may add a bikini top and possibly a windshield to the Pioneer, but other than that there's nothing I can think of I'd really need.

I would bring the concern up with your dealer, and politely but insistently request they complete the first service at no charge, pointing out the miles and hours etc.

PS the hours are the time the key is on, not the engine necessarily. Mine had 20 hr service light come on at 7 miles due to me leaving key on while running sound bar hooking up other accessories.

I contacted my dealer today and they are going to take care of the first service for me free of charge once I return from my trip. They stated it's not uncommon at their dealer for there to be this many miles/hours due to test drives and moving their stock in and out each day. So, all is good...glad they're going to take care of me.
