Based heavily on your videos I bought a 2017 Pioneer 500. Thanks for posting your findings and I look forward for the latest information.
Glad to help. Let me know what you think of it after you put on some miles!
I just changed the diff fluids in my 2016 P500. The front actually holds quite a bit more fluid than the rear diff. I think it's only 5 ounces of oil for the rear. can't remember how many for the front but it used most of the rest of the bottle.
I also found a couple of the skid plate bolts missing when performing the break in maintenance. Hope a little blue thread locker prevents losing any again.
Next time put a pile of gravel under your feet.. I had to look twice to make sure I was on the right channel.. LOL.. joking. great video again.. thanks!
Not to worry. I can add that sound ;-)
Looked through you vids and did not see a vid for maintance for the Polaris ranger. Are you saying to run Mobil 1 gear oil in all front and rear diffs or just Honda? Just asking. I have a 2012 Polaris ranger 800 ex and it takes 2 deferent types of fluids. I do run mobil 1 in the motor but Polaris oils in the diffs. If I could run Mobil I would.
Wanted to check out your FB page ,but there is a bunch of ATV TV pages which one are you?
I was gonna make a snide comment and realized we didn't put the new matt in this video that says Facebook/ATV Television. I'll ditch this one and use the ATV Television one from now on....
What tire pressure do you find works well with the pioneer 500? Honda recommends 10 psi but that feels way too stiff for this machine.
I can't remember what we run in the little stock tires. They are pretty thin so maybe it takes 10 to keep them from rolling over. On these bigger (and thicker) tires I run about 4 and 5.
Been running 8 in my stock tires, no issues.
+ATVTV I run 7 in my stock tires and no problems even with forging new trails through the woods.
Thanks for the tips. What about the sway bar on the pioneer 500, should I remove it?
Oddly enough I have not tried it yet ;-) It should make a huge difference as the little Honda is pretty stiff and could use the help. It's also a little taller so be careful. I'd just disconnect one end and zip tie it out of the way and try it for a while to see. I will soon! Another little tidbit to do/try is to loosen all the a-arm mounts a little and spray them with WD 40 and then tighten them back down - not quite so tight. Many of the manufacturers put a tension on the rubber bushings there that while making the machine ride a little higher also makes the arms not move as easy.
Thank you and I enjoy your videos!
Thanks. Always glad to hear.
Don't forget if your machine (IE Polaris) has grease zerk fittings to grease.
Which if you watched our video on the RZR maintenance you would have heard that said, but on the Honda there is no zerk fittings.
Can you do the same thing but with a Polaris sportsman?
I'll work on it but right now we are working through the machines we have right now for the long term.
I thought you couldnt use full synthetic in a wet clutch motor/transmission. I dont have a pioneer but have owned yamaha grizzlies, they advise against it.
Many people have the perception that since synthetics are more slippery than petroleum oils that wet clutch packs in either their automotive automatic transmission or motorcycle transmission will slip when using synthetics. Synthetic oils are no more "slippery" than petroleum oils. Synthetic oils simply have a more uniform molecular structure which reduces frictional resistance better than the irregular shape and size molecular structure of a petroleum oil.
Synthetic oils will prevent deposit buildup on clutch plates, therefore keeping the face clean and able to do its job in preventing slippage. And, since synthetics are superior cooling agents to conventional petroleum lubes, using synthetics will help wet clutches last longer, too.
Petroleum oils have low resistance to heat and allow varnish and glaze to form on clutch plates, which eventually leads to slippage and increased heat generation and eventually failure of the clutch pack.
So, perhaps we 'should' be using synthetic oils in clutch-pack machines.
+ATVTV ~ cool, thanks.
