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

[KYhillbilly]

Can someone remind me, why do we wash these things after riding in the mud only to ride in the mud again?

Cleaned up after riding at the coke oven cabins (back side of Royal Blue) last weekend.

I just hose mine off, unless I'm going to work on it. Pressure washers are hard on seals and before any one says it, seals are hard to catch!

~ seals are hard to catch!

You club them when they are small.
C'mon Smitty, your old enough to remeber the National Geographic, they had a whole artical pictures and all on how to club seals.
Not that I read the words mind, I was just looking at the pictures.

Pressure washer works miracles once you figure out it will remove all the stickers and camo, it will cut the brake hoses and tires and once the mud is removed you can see the rust on the frame.

Finally had time to finish up mounting the rear WE shock reservoirs;

Is that your garage floor, or do you park your wheeler in the house?? I once knew a couple that took their kitchen table out so they could park their Harleys inside.

It was a bittersweet day, we said goodbye to the P5 today, that’s it driving away

Yes! That is my garage floor! 😂
And yes, that’s the same floor I have in the house. 😅

I had some extra flooring so I thought I put it to good use. Plus, I get to experiment on how well it’ll hold up over the years by parking my tractor on it, as well as the P520 and ZTR. It’s actually held up amazingly well to the abuse.

OK, I've not been happy with the Honda Bi-mini cloth top that has been on my P5 since I bought it. I do not have an enclosed trailer to take it up north in, so I have to remove the top, support bows and straps so that it does not take flight on the highway. Been trying to decide on a replacement for months now and finally pulled the trigger on an EMP aluminum roof. Showed up on my porch yesterday, installed it last night.

Bought HTRs (on sale) for my 520. Also some purdy aluminium wheels.
Hope to finish the Torq Locker reassembly and skid plates install on it tomorrow and roll it out like Kenickie and his hot rod (without the speed)!

come to think of it, some moons would prolly look keen . . .

500 started stalling and powering off so I replaced the spark plug. It’s been in there for 5,000 miles. I also tested the battery and it said 12.6 volts but since it was the original from 2014 I just replaced it. I’m up to 15,400 miles total.

What? Replace, looks like it some life left in it!

Yesterday, @futzin and I wrenched some more on my buggy. Frame issue finally addressed. (I will post a separate thread on that) Also removed my BH2.0’s … Kenda HTR’s will be installed this week. I am almost TO ready!

Vision Assault.

They do go pretty well with the blue, IMO.
