P1000 Shifting Problems

[elkmoose]

I purchased the Honda 1000-6 and I have some concern about how it is shifting from 2w drive to turf and from 4w drive to 4w drive dif lock. In most cases it will not shift unless I move some and sometimes it takes quite a while before it shifts. It is not always the same. And how fast can you go to try and get it to shift before you tear something up? Is it suppose to shift without moving? I guess Im trying to find out what is acceptable shifting. Thanks

Welcome from once great Michigan

We need some info first before we can proceed.
What year, model, miles is your rig?
We also require pics of it to make sure your not a Poo Poo (Polaris) Infiltrator.
As we say...Pics Or It Didn't Happen!

As for your issue, depending on the rig, ALWAYS check our search up top first. There's tons of info in there that I'm sure will fix this issue, cable adjustment and rear diff adjustment.

On the 22s and 23s the the rear diff lock cable at the rear diff needs to be adjusted per the manual.
I can say that it goes into and out of a little easier with time. And keep in mind that it will vary in engagement depending on circumstances.
I always try to anticipate when I will need to shift and do so when there is no driveline bind and wheels straight

It tells you how to do it in the manual. You have to turn side to side.
Read this post in another thread, it has a good example.

P1000 - 2 wheel lock

Has anyone had a problem with 2021 Honda pioneer 1000-5 not shifting out of 2 Wheel lock into Turf mode? Probably just a cable adjustment but it’s new and I don’t know where or how.

I’ve found that on my 2018 P1k5 that I only have to be completely stopped is when changing between high and low. The other changes work fine when under 5-10 mph as long as nothing is in a bind, ie; turning, any type of loading or unloading of the drive train. Even if stopped and trying to go from 4high to 2 high or turf it my take up to 10 to 15 ft.without bind to actually shift.

I find that, the more I drink, the less I care about how it shifts.
