My pioneer 700 seems to vibrate quite a bit a low speed and when taking off. Had a Big Red and did the same thing. I assume this is normal for this engine and machine?

Just let it warm up a bit before taking off... Mine seems fine and smooth. If it really bothers you and you think something is wrong , take it back to the dealer, if you trust them and let them take a look at it.. I'm switching to Honda Pro Full Synthetic 10W30 at next oil change. Since the engine transmission and torque converter all use engine oil, I'm thinking the synthetic will work better for the torque converter in the winter months as it will not thicken up like conventional oil..

I drive mine just about everyday. At first it maybe seemed rough but now that I'm used to it, it actually seems quiet.

I had the same thought when I first got my 700-4. It still vibrates a lot taking off, but after I adjusted the front and back doors, added some foam tape in some areas where the seats fold down on the bed and around the tailgate, the rattles are gone and it doesn't bother me near as bad.

I put the fuzzy side of some velco wrap around all my door latches ( part that latches clasp onto )and bed latch and it dont rattle at all. It has to be replaced about every 400 miles or as u start hearing a rattle.
