P1000 Towing a Disabled Pioneer

[russknight]

What is the proper way to tow or pull a disabled 1000? Isn't there some type of screw or relief that should be opened, or did I dream that?

🤔......I've towed two, turf mode and neutral. Both moved just fine.

You dreamed it.
There is a limp home for the transmission, you unbolt a cover, turn a screw all the way in and put the cover back on.
Then you are locked in 2nd gear.
But nothing for towing (do what @JenElio said).

You mean like on the trail? Ya... Just put it in N and your good.
No issues even on the road back to camp.

Now... you are flat towing behind a car on the HWY... Ya. IDK about that.
But still, there is a discussion on this and dont really think there is a issue.
Just one guy wanted to flat tow it at 70 MPH... lol.

Thanks everyone. I had to be towed about a half mile the other day and I put it in neutral.

All this is hypothetical right?
Hondas don't break down on the trail....

Hondas never "break down" the owners just break them

🤦‍♂️....yes, on the trails. Forgot we have to be extra specific now a days with some people reading some of these 😂😂 thanks for clearing that up. Definitely don't want someone out there thinking it's ok to flat tow their rig to the next TO 😂

I was stupidly unaware that the former owner of my machine failed to snorkel the fuel tank vent line and put about two gallons of water in my gas tank after getting stuck in a creek.

That reminds me I haven’t extended my vents yet.
