Hello guys" after I posted my first post about transmission slipping I had some good suggestions, let it warm up ,and check oil level. Well after doing both the first time you ride it still wants to slip when shifting from 2 no to 3rd. I have owned Hondas for years motorcycles,3 wheelers, 4 wheelers this is my first sxs and I'm very let down with the quality of it, I expected more from honda

Nevermind...went and looked it up...Sounds like you are burning them up.
This machine has to warm up a bit before riding. Owners manual states that it shouldn't be driven until there is a bar on the temp gauge. Realistically, you don't have to wait that long except maybe in really cold weather, but you gotta wait more than 10 seconds on the 1st start.

@Bigcat these machines will slip pulling out right when you take off from a cold startBut even when there cold they should not slip between 2 nd and 3rd. And if you smell the clutches you have a problem that needs addressed
