I just got my LE yesterday and I LOVE IT! The adjustable Fox shocks are incredible, and the quietness is unreal. The shifts are smooth as silk. It is amazing.

Until after 15 minutes of easy to moderate driving the !I4WD light came on. I was not very happy. I brought it to the dealer this morning, and they said that it was because of a loose battery connection. Whew!

I must say, that aside from the hiccup with the battery, I am VERY impressed with this machine. It is on a whole different planet than the 700!

I am going to take it out on a serious off-roading trip next weekend, and I will report how well the new
I4WD system works. I will say that when the Fox shocks are set to soft, it rides like a Cadillac at low to moderate speeds.

P.s. Can you tell that I am a Texas A&M Aggie? :)

SWEET!!!!

Hope that after a good ride you bought a pressure washer when you bought that LE
'cause it sure is pretty and it MIGHT get a little bit dirty.

For some reason Honda has a hard time with tightening the battery cables on the assembly line. I bet half the Pioneers off the truck have improperly tightened cables.
Might not hurt to check the front ROPS bolts, as I've seen alot of them come in loose.

Update: That !I4WD error light came on again, and I had to take it back to the dealer. It took them a little while, but they finally figured out that the front left sensor was bad. They replaced it and it's now working. Just an FYI for any other LE owners.

Really wonder about the reliability of all the electronics on that machine especially after it is submerged in mud and water.
