I have owned a 2005 rubicon since new. Very reliable machine. I keep it well maintained. It has never left me stranded . I doubt my 2022 outlander will last that long reliably.

Bought a 2001 Rubicon mint condition for hunting getting to stand and plowing driveway. Would you primarily run it D1 or D2 for that type of work?

@lloydmarche7263 3 ай бұрын

@@SL40cal d1 is for higher speeds. D2 gives you more torque at lower speed . I use d2 when towing heavier trailers or hauling logs . I don’t plow snow with it but I would use d2 if I did and I would consider using low range to plow snow. I used low range on my old yamaha big bear when plowing the driveway but it was a a 350 cc and manual .

I had no idea those Hondas held so much oil. I definitely like it take a lot longer for the oil to break down.

Great video as always. We need to blow up the likes and the comments section. Someone argue with me. I say polaris is best canned ham can stay in the trailers.

I almost argued against you until I realized you say Polaris is better, I don’t trust can-ams to save my life

Trying to help the algorithm. Looks identical to the one the guy gave me for free that I worked on for him. The low range first gear is nice and low but a sportsman 500 would outpull one of these easily. Weight and 3x4 was a big difference. Could hold the front brake on a bit to lock the front end.

I’ve done the front brake trick on quite a few of these limited slip front diffs. Can’t beat a AWD system or a fully locked front diff.

7k miles. That's absolutely weak compared to the highest mileage quad I have ever seen. On the KingQuad facebook group i saw someone posted a KingQuad 500 as a farm quad in New Zealand with 31,000 MILES. absolutely stunning.

@rockspowersports 3 ай бұрын

31,000 miles is very impressive!

Love these videos. They relate to the common maintenance that needs to be done. Do you think that the rear differential needs new seals? I have been finding on my 20+ year old machines that most need new differential seals by now. Cant wait for the updated 600 grizzly video.

Have you ever thought of taking one of your spare bikes down to the frame and rebuilding it the best as possible with what you have like a budget build or even just a budget resto that you don’t have much into but can make a bit off of

just my opinion.. honda front drum brakes are not worth putting and time or money into when u can get the super atv disc brake conversion for $230 shipped specially is they use it in the mud and water all the time... ive have done this conversion to many hondas by far the best thing you can do if u want to stop
