@CumminsPusher She loves it! It has started slipping between gears though, so Im taking it back to the dealer Friday morning. I tried the clutch initialization procedure several times Sunday and that didnt work. I checked the engine oil and sub trans fluid and both were fine. I unhooked the batteries for like 30 minutes thinking that might reset the computers. After I unhooked them I stepped on the brake pedal and turned the headlight knob on and off a few times to bleed off any charge a capacitor might hold. I still have to check all the grounds and maybe make sure there isnt any water in any electrical quick connections anywhere underneath. Other than that I will take it to the dealer and hope for the best. She says she wishes she would have got the P1000 back in the day instead of the P700 that she had.
She’s a good woman. Keep her.

Well they’ve been doing a good job of handling the situation. You’ll get fixed up I’m sure.
I’m glad she likes it. That’s really cool

Negative. The clutch campaign is forcing any problems to get handled, it’s a good thing. Much better then a couple years ago.
I'm confused I guess, is this a SUV? With clutch issues? Next year we will have a long talk face to face, HA! If your not visiting your Grandson and Daughter, Thats really cool! Smitty over and out!

When you see those kinds of videos, it really is a statement to the durability of Honda and why many last for so many years trouble free...
Yes Im a Honda fan since the ATC days. Ive hydro locked a handfull of them over the years goofing off. Just drain the airbox, pull the plug and blast the water out of the cylinder, reinstall plug and fire it up. I think the oil in those things like it when there is water mixed in..

Can you imagine if Honda actually build a "purpose machine for mud/water" similar to the high lifter models of Polaris with all the advancements in snorkels, plumbing, electronics, etc.....

My wife just showed me this. This guys youtube channel is called 'Project_Ajax' We are actually subscribed to each others cannels. We crossed paths while riding and he stopped me to say hello. I didnt realize who I was talking to at the time. You can tell in the video Ive had a few adult beverages lol. I figured yall would get a kick out of it. If yall aint got anything better to do check out his channel. Hes got good stuff.
Another cool video, I bet those tires can dig you out or to china lol.
