P500 Update on the 17 p500

[ehart814]

Lol. Dude, I bought this to leave on my property in New Mexico. I need it more as a tool, that's why I didn't get another P5. I'm in the P5 forum though for life. I won't be doing the mods to this that I've done to the P5, so I doubt I'll be in the 700 forum beyond technical help if/when I have problems with it. P5 groupie here!!!

There are some good guys on the 700 side. I've gone there for info and advice for my friend and his 700.

Oh I'm sure I'll be finding that out. Thanks ehart.

Thanks, JTW. I hope you get it all worked out and get on the trail soon so you can make up my mind (LOL) on the '16 vs '17 question... I want to know if top speed changed, as well as if low gear is still super low....

It's still low and top speed is the same.

They had a camo come in but no green... offered $250 off the camo.. tires came in but no wheels.. offered to still knock the $200 trade in on tires and mount the bighorns on stock rims so I can make the ride.

Well you are closer than a couple of weeks ago. Good luck.

So did you take the camo one????

Yeah.. I had originally wanted it but it wasn't worth $500 to me. I'm headed that way to pick it up in a couple hours. Going to give the wheels a chance to come in.. just in case!

Camo is cool, too.
It's timeless.

Because I'm too lazy to go back and search, could you give a list of what you need to add for accessories to be ready?

You might as well buy some oil and oil filter at the dealer... Won't take long to get 100 miles on it for the first oil change. And when you do that, might as well do the front and rear gear oil as well........

Now we have to wait for another member to come along and break what must be a record number of posts when not owning a P500.

Congrats.
