Definitely

I ride some of the oldest Hondas and they pretty much all have the original motors

I’m right there in line. I want one for sure! Thanks

Boy have I got news for you

I’m the same way. Love my new Yamaha grizzly but will always have a Honda rubicon at hand.

That’s something to check. It is the original battery. However it doesn’t have the feeling that it just doesn’t work. It won’t return straight when you let off. I let off the bars and it stays. Pulling right or left. Feels like it’s locking up almost.

@@JacobOverman I was curious about this particular part, and it’s nearly $1,000.00 from partzilla. I know a lot of people but aftermarket wheels and tires after they buy their machines, but a lot of people don’t seem to realize how much additional weight they are putting on each axle , and hub vs stock. The stock wheels, and tires on Honda Ranchers for example are like 23lbs give or take a pound. If you go up an inch or two in size with a heavier rubber compound 6 ply tire, you’re going to put more stress on the mechanical components of those machines. Over 1,000’s of miles some parts will wear prematurely as a result. I believe people would get better life out of their machines, and their components if they just stayed with stock, or at least watched how much extra weight they are putting on those hubs. Those aftermarket tires may be more than double the weight, and grip better so the power steering is going to have to work harder regularly. I’ve seen new Honda Ranchers break axles from guys throwing 28 inch mudding tires by repeatedly popping wheeliesYeah if you throw 60lb ag like tires on it, and constantly pop wheelies, when it hooks up it can snap the axle, and wheel just fall off. Honda Ranchers and the Foreman’s use the same straight rear axle. In soft mud they may be less likely to snap, but not on harder surfaces where it really digs in. Those heavier tires will also cause the differential to wear quicker to, again over several thousand miles. I’ve seen Honda Ranchers with over 50,000 miles on them but they used stock wheels and tires.

@@JacobOverman Here’s a testament of the kind of miles you can get from a Honda kzfaq.info/get/bejne/irqBi71z1tDNn5c.htmlsi=zwzOn-CvSofCPK13

On-X off-road allows you to track and keep count of miles without service. Very useful app for your phone.

@@JacobOverman thanks man, you rock. That video was sick!

I rock Yamaha mainly because the availability in Alaska. Also, Yamaha has a great value at their price range, especially if you don’t need the extra bells and whistles. I’d like to get a Honda when I get back down to the lower 48

It’s hard to say. It comes down to two things. Do you want a little extra power and top speed. Or do you want something that will last forever and won’t make you mad every other day because bolts are falling out of it. The grizzly is not built as good. The Honda top speed is around 48-50 and the grizzly is 62 mph. If you don’t need to go over 45 than I would get the Honda everyday of the week.

Floorboards on the grizzly are terrible, fender coverage is terrible, seat doesn’t have a latch. Just sits there in some rubber. CVT trans makes noise. However there are a few things I like better. Better power steering, more power, nice easy to read gauge cluster.

@@JacobOverman thanks for the replies sir I appreciate it. Did you see the new trx700 rubicon? What are your thoughts on that?

It’s on Hondas website right now it used the pioneer 700 motor

@@trailrippers1588it’s a Honda Rincon with new plastic. Don’t let Honda fool you.

Probably not just because of how hard I have driven it. Otherwise. Around here it’s not uncommon to see 20k plus

I’m going to make a video covering that. It’s a shame

Does good

@@JacobOverman thanks but I went with the manual

@@FluterraDCT would be better for snow in my opinion since snow likes to pile into the floorboards and then you can’t shift.

@@JacobOverman I highly doubt that. I would worry the DCT will fail more than I would worry snow will accumulate in the shifter area (the latter can be easily fixed anyway)

No, they are nice and pretty good. I’d say they compete with the grizzly.

I’ve had both straight axles suck a$$ you’ll blow a A driver rear bearing every 1k miles if you do any kind of work with it and it’ll kill your back

Complete let down. I was excited for about 15 seconds.

Why? Everyone says this, and I do agree Honda could have done better, but I don’t understand what the big deal is? Most people are upset about the three speed transmission….. but it’s rumoured to have almost 3x the power… so I don’t think you’ll miss the gears tbh

@@benlouwagie4567totally let down… why? Because it is not any different than the rincon we have had for 20 years. They ruined the rubicon name and look by putting it on such a turd. Don’t know where you get 3x the power from. It’s the same everything we have had for years. The really big let down is that they couldn’t even add the basics like power steering and diff lock. Let alone all the other wishes that were thrown away.
