Bought my 2017 Pioneer 500 in February with 115 miles on it. Now 8 months later I have over 2280 miles and 163 hours on it with mostly highway miles. Only normal maintenance like oil changes, adjusting clutch, and cleaning air filter. Just did a coolant change and put new tires on the front. The rear tires are still very good. New fronts are way more aggressive and quieter than the originals. Bought them on Amazon for $130 for the pair. Absolutely a fun machine! The transmission does sound noisy for sure, but it works flawlessly! I stay out of deep mud and deep water. I enjoy going up steep hills that this 500 climbs up with no problems.

. It was an electrical problem.
