they have a bigger problem than mentioned. At idle speed and low rpm's the oil pump does not send enough fluid to the clutch. I am on my third clutch repair in 9 months. It has been in the shop 6 of the 9 months that I owned it. Told today that HONDA realizes there is a design flaw and they are trying to design another oild pressure pump. This has been a cluster. Someone screwed up big time with the tranmission/clutch design.

the honda pioneer 1000 has a huge problem. They have a faulty oil pump design for the tranmission/clutch assembly that does not pump enough oil at low rpm. The dealership verfied this today after I took it in for a slipping clutch. I have owned the utv for 10 months and it has been in the shop for 5 month of the 10. They told me Honda Headquarters said to keep replacing the clutches until they figure out what to do. If you own one i feel for you. send me a comment to my email which is [email protected] if you were offered something to make up for being without a $20,000.00 piece of equipment. Never have seen anything like this!

Design flaw? What about the thousands of people with thousands of miles?

I've got a thousand miles of beating it with 30" tires. Not a single clutch slip yet. I don't see a design flaw at all. A design flaw would affect all vehicles. Maybe yours has a specific part failure or and assembly issue that the dealership hasn't found yet.

Maybe try taking it to a different dealer?

@jvm Welcome to the forum, and sorry to hear of all your issues. My P1K had to have the clutch replaced once at about 200 miles and has been rock solid ever since and I have put about 1000 miles on since the repair. I have not experienced any kind of weakness or shuddering since the repair and have used the machine in tougher situations than when it went out. If you have went through 3 sets of clutch repairs in such a short time I have to ask how are you using it and are you using synthetic oil etc.

First off, take a deep breath @Matcnc . People tend to freak when they read something like that. The percentage of clutch failures is still very small. The vast majority have been enjoying a well built sxs. The guys I ride with all have considerable mileage on theirs and we tend to play rough with them lol. Go to YouTube and check out our vids. Search for Delton Mims and Joeymt33. See how we ride and the terrain we ride on. Mine currently has little over 2970 miles on it with 30" tires, and bracket lift. They are great machines.

I burt mine out backing up a very, very steep hill very slow to haul firewood, I didn't know reverse is always in high range and rode slow trails in high range the first few trips out. The sales guys nor the guy that shows you how every thing works at the dealership gave me any information about reverse or high - low range selection. Thats pretty easy 33 mph and lower -Low, above 35 mph- High range and don't try to use it like a tractor in reverse. Your safe

Don't be worried.
It's not the transmission. It's the clutch. That's a simple job some of these guys have done on the trail.

I recommend you ride it like you should. If you have problems with slip know there is a full fix available until 2020.

The failures have been running around 15% so 85 out of 100 machines have been getting along fine, that being said. The 15 of 100 that did demonstrate issues usually did so early on many within first 200 miles or soon after being modified with lifts, larger tires over 28" and or ran in very severe conditions (peanut butter mud up to headlights, very Rocky and steep terrain in High range, etc)

Personally I would rather be safe than sorry, and would have the product update campaigns completed on both cabin comfort and clutch improvement when you need first service done.

As well I would get the water ingestion kit and deflector shield put in as well, then essentially your have the known upgrades that are on the 2018 models.
