Yup... I do admit I sometimes miss my paddles. BUT... People talk all this s*** about the belts all the time. It’s waaay smoother power transfer. And I had waaaay more issues with the clutches in my dct than I have this belt, and that’s at 3 times the miles on the belt. There’s also a lot to be said for how easy and cheap it is to replace a belt trail side. I can carry a belt with me... who carries a clutch pack? And let’s not forget the Honda low gear issue that we’ll start seeing more and more of.
@CumminsPusher how many clutch packs did you put in your last machine?
Just caught this.
Ya more then several in the one machine. I openly admit that. That one machine always shifted soft and come to find out the intake boot was loose which I contribute to the multiple failures. It was a Honda qc issue.
Now to be fair neither of the other machines I’ve had was problematic in that way and thank God Honda addresses issues without government mandate like some lol.
It really isn’t bad to change a clutch and luckily I believe those days are over for me and the vast majority. I like the geared machine well enough I took another stab at it and am glad I did. Nearly jumped ship to Yami for my personal machine but happy to say I’m back with Honda and truly love my machine.
I posted this elsewhere but there aren’t too many machines that’ll pull over 3 times their weight through muddy ass trails miles back to camp. I know the Polaris belt brigade that called me over to help were very impressed with the farm rig. Both tugging their Jeep buddy and riding trails in which all turned around back to camp behind us. Clutches sure held up good doing that stuff along with quite a bit of other sketch stuff. I like my Honda, it gets me where I need to go nowadays just fine
