winch came installed from dealer. trx500fm1, you are correct about the braking. power steering is most noticeable when you drive a machine that doesnt have it after riding one that does regularly. got in a fender bender with it a few weeks ago, but it was all cosmetic damage, all minor and already fixed. this is a very nice machine!
theres a 07 rubicon for $4900 and is in fairly good shape, do u think i should look into this? it has mudlites and rims already on it no other mods. some1 pllz reply
@xDESTRUCTOR96x My dad has a 2007 Rubicon and I have a 2006 Rubicon. Both have itp rims and tires. They are great machines. You would not be disipointed in one of these machines. Plus it has the Honda reliability thing.
while in 4wd, one lever does NOT engage all THREE brakes...it's called 4 wheel braking, the other axle is affected by front or rear braking because the front and rear axles are connected...only while 4wd is engaged. but there is no 4 brakes...and one lever doesn't engage them all, either. honda puts brakes on both front wheels and only one brake for the rear. the fronts are hydraulic and the rear is a dry drum.
did they make a new smaller rubicon? The rubicon 500 has the D1 and D2 option just to the right of the ESP mode to choose from sport high output RPM or D2 for slow casual low rpm travel. I use my D2 alot for hunting and would be upset to find honda deleted this feature.
Excellent video and beautiful ride! I want to install a winch on my Rubi soon but can't decide between Warn and Ramsey. What mount did you use and how difficult was the install.
@Ranger42 it was probably a dealership installed extra. but, typically, winch mounts will accept any brand of winch...but, every bike has to have a specific mounting kit for that bike. there is NO universal winch mounting kit. it is application specific.
hows the transmission on the foreman ? is it longlasting and reliable

to bad honda nix'ed the D1 and D2 as I love D2 for slow trails or going to get the mail, keeps the RPM down and just a pleasure to ride slowly

Very nice, but no one will agree with me here >> you would think they could make the exhaust quieter on ATV's after all these years.
