P500 What did you do to/with your Pioneer 500 today?

[Caper]

Yep, that would be "The Cache Valley!"

Where’s that ?

I do live in the valley and have done part of the Rum runner trail running along the 103 last summer. It is great because you have great views of the south shore.
I was on the old DAR rail bed that runs from just outside Kentville and runs to Annapolis Royal. This is 6 hr round trip. We just went as far as Kingston on Sunday. This trail also gives you several points where you can access the South Mountain trails and even end up on the south shore but you would need more than a day for this. As you probably know, we have tons of lakes down here and it is a great way to see some nature and even stop and have a little fishing.
I brought my P500 new last year and put 1200 km on it last summer.

Checked out the back yard during flooding today. High water vs normal pics at same place.

Looks beautiful. Especially no snow or ice. You still have some leaves on the trees. Nice trail.

So...i washed it last sunday for the 1st time in 6 months (dez life). Thursday's forecast: Rain...heavy at times. Freeze warnings all week. What the hell did they do to AZ while is was gone?
Some parts of the high country may get as much as 2' of snow.

Gonna be sloppy this weekend again...

The desert will be blooming. That’s so cool. I’m in Canada so snow is common, but AZ. I guess there must be a bit of the Rockies, like NM. Thanks Monte. I did see your getting rain but I didn’t think that much. So does that help with ground water, or does it just create floods. Curious. Thanks

Installed light , roof, restored virginity - oil change, apparently previous owner did not change oil at all, we bought it at 229 miles/46 hours. Also rear bumper,and 12*10*26 tires on original wheels with 1.5" spacer on rear from super ATV. Also battery indicator and charging port from noco.

Question to everyone, I can not shift from 2 to 3rd gear while parked. We had not had chance to drive on the road faster due to colder weather and no windshield. It makes me worry a lot. This sis 2017 model with at/mt.

I would recommend the clutch adjustment, but we are basically talking about a new machine here! Confirming it shifts as it should in automatic may set your mind at ease. Congratulations by the way! How much did you pay for the P5

Congratulations. It’s probably an adjustment. Mine is a 15’ bought in 14’ . Mine is only manually shift. But sitting it should go up and down in the gears. I’m sure you’ll get answers on here. But if you don’t, call Honda service and ask. They are built tough, you are going to love it. The bike looks great. Keep us informed.

That's my next step, the ex owner used to plow in auto mode.

What was your question? Why did you pay ......??? Did not get the last part

Since it was so low miles , it puzzled me why it does not shift, I hope it's not a lemon . I have 2015 model and no mechanical problems

Sorry! My question...How much did you pay for the P5?

@solrus , For 2017+ with AT/MT, If you are parked/stopped it will not shift above 2nd. Computer automatically downshifts to 2nd upon stop (not 1st) which is a good gear to start off unless towing something heavy. Can not shift into a higher gear until appropriate speed is reached. Or at least that is how my 2017 behaves.

I figured you would have an idea. Your the best Mudder. I’m sure that will ease his mind, greatly. Haha. Have a great day.

Oh, I bought a glove box. Thanks Chooglin. Should be here by May. Haha. Couple weeks. I have to move my contactor. Start a fire and get at it.

Thanks. As its been raining and stuck inside, took the time to rewire all machines for easier battery charging. Dash plugs for SxSs and full time hot 12v accessory sockets for plug in on atvs. Been so pleased with my Polaris ACE roof audio pod that a second one is arriving soon to work on a mod to replace old unit in the P500. This will free up space in the Chooglin glove box. At least the old radio salvaged from the totaled motorcycle lasted 2 yrs. will post progress. Not a @trigger level sound set up, but volume is greater than my old man ear limit. LOL

Good job. I want my box for my phone and camp keys. But that’s a great idea to keep the radio dry. Your rain is my snow Sunday. Thanks. Haha. We’ll both be puttering in the garage. I have to shovel a little before I can start the contactor. Hardest part is cutting the wires and putting new ends on. I have a tool for that. Have a great day

Mines a 15’ manual and I’ve never experienced that. Hopefully it’s not serious.
