P1000m5 Quit running while driving.

[Rider81]

Hello everyone,
Last weekend I was riding along on my Honda pioneer 1000-5 with 80mile on it, going about 25mph. It started acting like it was going to die on me, then the machine picked right back up and was driving fine. I mean this happen 2 times for a split second. Now this weekend I was cleaning it and took it for a spin down my road and it sputtered again except this time it did die. I was traveling about 25-30 mph around my neighborhood. At first I could not get it started. Then I would press the gas a little and it would fire up then die. The one time it did run for a minute it was idling low and then died. Plan on taking it to dealer Tuesday. Anyone else had this problem?

What type of riding have you done this far? Deep water, mud, just highway

No deep mud or water.

I haven't experienced anything like that, but I've heard similar problems were caused by loose electrical connections, specifically ground wires. Have you checked battery connection and frame grounds?

Don't remember hearing that! Are you thinking Spark Arrestor is plugged?

 

[Rider81]

yeah it mentioned that and a loose baffle. But just a thought. Dealer said spark plugs when I called but dang after 80 miles.

Have gas? Lol

 

[Rider81]

Oh yeah def has gas ha ha.

First thing I would check are the grounds... there are 3 I believe. Then check fuel and spark. Hell, it could even be a bad battery.

 

[Rider81]

Sounds good considered fuel. Since I did use some of my cousin fuel. Is it easy to drain, any info on that.

I would just run a hose in the tank and siphon it out as best I could
