P1000m5 So, I almost killed my pioneer.

I was worried about the transmission after adding some site stickers! I hear it's about 20 hp it adds per sticker so be careful

First and only. I hit that same hole last year with my Polaris and it was only half as deep then. I would definitely say I got lucky!

I just made the big switch from an XP 1000 to a new pioneer 1000. What is your honest opinion? To be honest I was pretty disappointed with the amount of issues my Polaris had. I'm hoping the Honda exceeds my expectations.

You won't be disappointed. I knew better than to hit that mud hole that fast. My XP 850 had to dry out too after hitting that hole and soaked the belt.

Welcome to the forum. We are glad to have you.

My honest opinion is that no machine is perfect but this Pioneer is the best fit for play and utility work. Expect to hear some gear whine and clunky shifts but they will smooth out as it breaks in. Also, a gear oil change will smooth out that gear noise. I've got to mention that this machine is super quite so you may more easily hear gear noises and such. Also be prepared for some engine heat that comes up from the seat but that can be fixed easily and cheaply.

Hang around, we're glad you're here.

Any machine has a couple issues Honda has the least. Water sucks (snorkel it!) but if someone's use to belt you'll definitely have no problems.

It's been great about 450 miles on it so far, they are street legal in my town so it gets used daily. Hoping to take it to wisconsin sometime this year if I ever get my pickup ready for the drive. After being fixated on reading about problems on this forum it was good to hear a good recommendation from someone who had put it through it paces.

Where ya from in central Illinois? I'm in north central, Dixon, Il. We go up to Monroe, WI a lot and ride. the trails aren't aggressive but a lot of bars along the way..

I've swamped some quads that bad a few times. I always drain the oil and put diesel in. I turn it over a few times then drain (sometimes repeat) and fill with cheap oil. Run it a bit. Then Good oil. Diesel does a good job of collecting the water compared to oil (imho) It also cleans up any other crap that could've gotten In there. Lastly when you drain it diesel flows faster out the hole to carry any debris with it. Just don't do it with gasoline. Diesel has lubricant qualities to it and the residual won't hurt your oil Any like gas will. It also works great if you're ever cleaning up an old diff. full of sludge. Just my 2 cents. Glad you didn't kill it buddy.

I'd be heartbroken if a Polaris ever pulled me out. Keep that on the DL

It's all good. His is approaching 1k miles and the motor mounts are already giving up and the shifter has gotten stiff and hard to pull. I'm trying to talk him into a pioneer or waiting til 18 for Honda to introduce their sport sxs

Why would you abuse your machine like that. I assume you an adult and not 13 year old poser. They body parts were not built to take the pressure of hitting water at 35mph. I would imagine your wheel well liners are torn and other little connecting points are broken. If you weren't wearing your seat belt I'm sure you would have been ejected

You must not know me bro, I care for and maintain my equipment to the tenth degree. I hit that same hole a year before on my quad, didn't realize the bottom had been wallered out. And the only damage the machine sustained was a bent to s*** license plate. And idk, @Plumber32 @Montecresto am I a 13 year old poser?

 

[Sjc3081]

I'm not your Bro, but you didn't clearly post is was an accident. Mistakes are made I'm glad your machine wasn't damaged more severely. My apologies for insult but your reckless behavior made my suspect extreme youth and maybe your just posting about daddies machine. If I'm wrong I apologize.

Have you figured out what caused that?

One from a previous marriage, and 3 with my wife. We would love to have more but there are issues preventing that.
