My 23 likes 28-30 also. 700's will get you there.After 2 weekends of mainly running around the house, the Pioneer 700 is running good! It's been raining a lot down here in SWLA so I got to try out the 4x4 mode on a pipeline. On the road it seems to be most comfortable cruising 28-30 mph.
It still doesn't start like a typical Honda though. Seems to turn over more than I was always used to. Fuel mixture seems a little rich too.
A few things I still need to fix are:
I've spent a good bit of change to get to this point. Then engine feels solid and transmission shift consistently. It's not a speed demon but for around the house and casual trail riding it should be fine.
- Brakes. They work but not very well. I would not take this to Arkansas mountains as is. Probably will go with all new calipers.
- Axle boots are dry and cracking and will need replacement.
- Engine to rear diff drive shaft boot is split and will need replacement.
If I were buying a new machine, I wouldn't go out and buy a 700 for what we do. The 1000 is much more capable of doing slow to fast in everything.
