I was hoping no one would ask. It's a new 16 standard with a clutch upgrade request filed at time of purchase. Wanted 18 but it wasn't in the cards this time. Got 2500 off of this one and I figure the seat is the only real difference that we would use. Our first 16 had solid clutches at 1600 so I'm not too concerned but I want upgrade before I go with 30" tires
Much more solid and jerky then PJ ever was. It's obviously not broke in yet but it did actually have oil change (at my request) but no real miles yet, they do feel much better otherwise I would've moved on to the next machine. I ran the hell out of it up and down the street before purchasing. I hope to be back in the higher percentage with a great machine. Looking forward to many miles. Oh ya and this one will be snorkeled immediately!
I get it. But like like I've said we had no problems at all with the red one till the puddle that a sxs should have no problem splashing in. It was a great machine and took much more abuse then our last one. I'm hopeful to have the same luck with this one (snorkeled of course) as that one.
Hey "jerky" is a good thing. It means no excessive slipping. Mine is either on or off and that's how I like it. I see people reporting smoother clutches after the upgrade and praising it. They obviously have no working experience with clutches.
I know. I like jerky! Means they are engaging quickly. Smooth wears it out. Still remember the day we brought PJ home and Ang talking how much better she liked it because it was so much smoother. Didn't work out the best.
Thank you very much for the nice words. I'm sure she'll suit us just fine. I can't say how excited we really are. Where were riding for Xmas we've had a different Pioneer every year for 4 years,that stops now
very excited!!!That’s what has worried me about mine.. it’s been smooth from the get go. Of course I’ve gone thru a set of clutches but you know the story. Just a bit concerning when you know the issues and hear the speculation.
This is going to be a fun thread to watch!
