Texas Pioneer

Howdy from Texas!

I have had a 700-4 for years and love the machine. Just picked up a new to me 2016 1000-5 with 270hrs and 2,212 miles on it.

There is a whine that has me concerned that it might be more than the usual gear mesh whine I have read about.

I used a mechanics stethoscope to try and pinpoint the noise and I started to build a theory that the starter is not disengaging but this could very wrong since I have little experience with this setup.

Video with sound. There is a slight metallic rattle that can be ignored, I had the bed flipped up and tools laying in the floorboard.

Edit: video from another angle.

Looking forward to learning and sharing!

Thank you.

Welcome from Central Florida. Good luck with your new machine.

Starters on all Honda powersports products are constant mesh. There is no "engaging" like a car starter.

Welcome from the Putrid Swamp Run Michigan!

Nice Rig!
sounds like my 16’
More importantly. You have a 16’ do u have the clutch update? It was quite an important one. It was a campaign NOT a recall and its has expired so if u want to do it if it hasn't been done already its at your expense and highly recommended.

Howdy back at you from Oklahoma. When I notice a whine in my Pioneer, it's usually because the wife is with me.
