Went work the new pup todayView attachment 222389View attachment 222390

What are you training him to hunt for?

 

[MikeG]

To be a blood dog

 

[MikeG]

Man thats a good looking pup.

Thanks. My other ole boy has had enough. Unfortunately even with preventative treatments and regular vet visits he still ended up with heart worms. It’s time for his retirement. 8 years old

Kids decided to start construction of a new treehouse so they used the 700 to haul away branches and saplings. Or course my youngest daughter (4) had to use her Gator to haul the lumber.

Probably the best quickest, easiest and most useful mod we can do.

That’s awesome! Nice work Dad

1st day of mud...she didn’t upset. Rifle range was on an old fire break before it was clear cut during Covid...now it’s a Pioneer test track! Downed logs, stumps, mud, dozer ruts, got it all. Stick stoppers did very well. Power steering was very helpful while holding my beer and did end up bottoming out so I’ll be adding the full skid plates to my mod list.

That’s a nice ride. If I may ask, what kind/brand is your roof for your 700-2?

1st service.
Valve adjustment and oil change. As with my 1st 700, I found the valves to be very loose.

Also decided to try and chase the squeak from the exhaust area. Don't think I got it, but we'll see. This is one of a few areas where Honda really needs to step it up with these. Would you let an Accord out of the factory with such a set up, Honda?

They make and sell a whole lot more accords than they do pioneers. Unfortunately not really to the rental fleets though so I haven’t taken an Accord off road. I bet that b**** would squeal like a stuck pig though if we did.

Yes...but it's not about being an "off road" machine. It's about a s***ty design that's prone to make noise. Two metal clamshells clamped to round metal doughnuts (4 of which rest on the pipe with a very loose snugness), and the whole thing is held together with hose clamps.

I used to buy Honda's to get away from stuff like this. I knew this (along with the rattling doors and dump bed that have to be rigged up to be quiet) where part of 700 ownership, but at least the last one took several rides to get there. This one did it from day one and to be honest, the build quality is worse than my old one. Nearly a decade of building them, and nothing has improved...and seems to have gone backwards. This ain't your daddy's 300 for sure. Maybe they need to start building them in japan again?

No doubt Honda could do better. Probably many engineers there that wish they would have been allowed to. The reality is they won’t. Likely the blame lays at the feet of the bean counters.

Finished sorting a tip out windshield for one -

 

[livefromthetree]

I'm not mechanical in the least, but watched a couple videos and changed the oil. 2nd oil change with 780 miles in just a few months. Never imagined I'd ride the backroads as much as I do. Hell my last atv was 3 years old and has 280 on it when sold.

Also gave it it's last bath before deer season starts up for me 🥳

Btw it's more difficult to get this thing on the blocks than I would have imagined. 4 wheel low and jump it 😱

Just finished up installing Trail Armor full skid plates.😎

Looking good. After I messed around under mine today I had already decided that skid plates would be in my future. Couldn't believe plastic is under this thing. Plastic rattled a bunch when tapped on too.

Did you have to do any mods or was it a perfect fit?
