Not sure. Never had a cooling issue, fan came on sometimes, but I’m in Canada at 46.25 N lat, it gets hot here in summer but maybe 30C for a few days, then cools off. Electrical maybe in winter when putting load on winch when plotting. Very confused and disappointed.
need three seats. Me, wife, dog.
So Bridgie you still riding Honda or switch to other product? Really sorry to hear you’ve choked on the red coolaid.... gotta say so far I’m a Honda fan. Outboard motors, gen sets, ATVs UTVs, riding lawnmower, weed wacker and vehicles we have a bunch of red gear, so far knock on wood been good to us. Such a bummer when you loose confidence in products that can impact you in negative ways. Critical to have gear that works right when in the wilds, my Rubicon (2000) was stollen in 2014, with 11,000 kms on it. Replaced a rear axle bearing, spark plug, installed slip on exhaust and jet kit, bigger tires... that’s it. That Ruby was worked/played on severely, didn’t even adjust the valves what convinced me to by the P500. Hope you ended up with a machine you trust..
Thanks for this. Yes really disappointing. I have had questions re mechanic. He did a valve adjustment on the first one incorrectly that I learned about later with no damage. He is it at the dealership. I’m not a mechanic so I really don’t know. dealer owner is great. Will keep you updated. Thx.
Will not keep this. Full engine rebuild required. Our extended family has owned 20+ Honda auto over 40 years. Have an older gen that is great. Looking at can am, yammy and Kwai so far. No final decisions. Thx
Putin is meddling on the Honda forums now to get us to but other brands.
Bought first one June 2016. Failure happened at 800 km. Covered by warranty but I gave it back to dealer, with some $, and he found one at another dealer he traded with.
Still have it, gonna try replacing the angle sensor on days off. I've owned a bunch of Honda stuff as well and was looking at a 3000 watt generator for the camper. Might hold off on that now or try a Yamaha.
You know it takes a real piece of garbage to kick someone who's having a tough time. Many of us on this forum have had a lot of trouble with these machines in a short time. This isn't a hockey team that you root for even when their doing poorly, it's an investment with hard earned money. Yet treating people with respect.
Actually...most of us had no trouble at all, which is why some are skeptical about these "issues".
I looked back at your problems. What you need is a decent mechanic who can figure out the problem. Finding those can be tough, and That's something most of us would agree with.
