Cool vid Jay-man.
So why dosent Honda stick the owners manual in the glove box like on a normal SxS?
Oh yea, nothing normal happening here!

Hey on that clutch adjustment bolt, I have an older Rancher that looks like it has the same set up.
On my Rancher, after years of plowing and moving the dirt from a septic leach line rebuild with a front scoop, it needed the clutch adjusted.
But the bolt will not turn.
It's frozen good.
I recoment removing the bolt and applying anti seize, like the copper based stuff.
Not sure if the bolt is above the oil level or not.

I heard the fix for my ATV is to clean it, pull the front rack/fender and clean it again.
Pull the front drive shaft.
Tip it up on the rear rack - rocket ship style (like how we used to transport 2 3-wheelers in the back of a toyota mini truck).
Unbolt the cover and pull it off.
Now its easyer to work on getting the bolt out and you dont have to drain the oil.
Probably applying the anti seze in the first place would have been easyer.
