<< the fact is YOU&quot;RE NEVER SATISFIED with a stock quad!!! we'll always spend money on them, some more than others, but none the less we'll still upgrade >>



Yup. That's exactly what I mean.

 

I bought one of the first Rubicons, and still haven't had any transmission problems, yet alone a failure. And to your point, that is the same transmission as the Rubicon, but with a torque converter replacing the swashplate. So, that means it's a tried and true transmission, except for the new TC. And they did not scrap the Rubicon's swashplate tranny, as the Rubicon will continue to use it. Honda felt that the Rincon needed a more responsive, sporty transmission, while the Rubicon would keep the more utilitarian swashplate-equipped tranny (with the low-range).
I did get a kick out of the Polaris guy mentioning how the Rincon will be harder to repair on the trail. Like the Polaris Sportmans are n't already in the same boat (IRS, auto tranny, etc)?

 

So... what IS the yellow switch atop the right side of the bars?....I never did hear....

Great pics btw.... send more!!

 

the yellow switch on the foremans is the 2-4WD selector, mabey that's it??

 

2X4 to 4x4 switch and esp to auto switch. What other parts would you like to see?

 

i would like to see some muddin/trail pics, or at least let us know how it works. does she chirp into second??? lol

 

Id love to see ANY pictures you can get us. I'm fixing to buy one.

 

he's got a few in this thread, just read back on the first page.

 

This has been very interesting! It appears that the new Rincon has alot of followers and just may be the ultimate 4x4. As some mentioned though, the local dealers are going to command top dollar for these quads until the &quot;new&quot; wares off. I would still like to see some pictures of the Rincon out in the elements, on the trail, maybe even on a track! Who knows, the Rincon vs. the Industry battle will continue to rage on which will be good for the industry. If the Rincon proves to the best, I know the other manufactures will spend the dollars to get back in the game. Until then, that Kawasaki 650 is looking very, very good!

Keep the thread going.................[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

this site has a test of the new rincon, as well as dirtwheels (how much did honda spend for ad's that month??) there still isn't any rincons in atlantic canada yet.
