Honda Pioneer 1000 Questions

[Mag]

Acquired a gently used Pioneer 1000 recently. My first side by side. I noticed that when getting up to speed it was cutting out and would not get over 15 mph. I went ahead and changed oil, oil filter, air filter (that was a pain to get to) and the plugs as I had no idea when those were changed last. It still will not get up to speed so I'm thinking fuel pump is next. Anyone have experience with this model? It suits my needs perfectly, climbs the steep trail with no problem, dump bed will be useful as well.

Sounds like a carb problem. Either not getting enough fuel to the carb or not getting enough out of the carb. Have you tried a heavy dose seafoam yet?

If it's like Polaris, it has a governor on it that limits its speed to 15mph and under unless seat belts are fastened. I don't have experience with the Hondas but that might be something to google…

I doubt it having a carb. I think all Pioneer's are EFI.

Didn't know. But I guess injectors clog also.

Do u have seatbelt on? my 700 will not go past 16mh if seat belt off.

Buckle the seat belt

As already stated make sure your seat belt is buckled or it won't go. They make a bypass loop you can install as I did it on my Talon or you can just buy a piece that clicks into your seat belt as if the real one was hooked in.

OMG!! Could it be that simple? The seat belt? I buckle mine but likely the passenger was not. I'll try this Friday when go back out.

The passenger side doesn't have to be buckled (I don't think so anyway).

I'm going out tomorrow to test it. Fingers crossed.

I doubt the passenger seatbelt has that, but I would check the driver's side to see if it is faulty. If it won't go over 15 and you've got the seatbelt fastened I'd look for a faulty switch in the driver's seatbelt latch.

I'm not sure on that particular model but my cam am will tell me on dash to fasten seat belt if I forget but lack of power usually tells me lol

Also make sure it don't say limp mode or anything like that on dash

Well....... I feel like a complete Doofus but pleased it wasn't the fuel pump. Running like a champ.

Glad it was that simple. I knew my Polaris was like that but wasn't sure about the Pioneer

 

[Gravey]

This will fix that.

Buckle your seatbelt or get a seatbelt bypass.

Well crap. I was hoping you would put it in the classifieds and I would buy it cheap to "fix"it.

Hahahaha... that's funny. Must say, I'm loving it. I don't get to my property as often as I would like (darned work gets in the way) but when I do, it does it's job. Had to replace the battery a few weeks ago but other than that it's all good.

This may be your problem. I have this feature disabled in my 2012. It's been nothing short of great.
