THE **** ON MY RUBICONS SHIFT LEVER CAME OFF IN MY HAND TODAY.FOUND BOTH SCREWS THAT HOLD IT ON HAD LOOSENED AND BACKED THEMSELVES OUT.ALL YOU RUBICON OWNERS MIGHT WANT TO CHECK YOURS.I PLAN TO PUT A LITTLE LOCK TIGHT ON THE THREADS.

 

Thanks for the heads up. I put some on there myself.

 

Funny you should mention this, mine did the same yesterday, excepting I caught them prior to falling out. Thank goodness for the on-board tool kit! A minor problem with what I consider a great machine.

 

REDGREEN,
I see you're from Cloquet. I used to be from there about 25 years ago. I was looking for a post on the Rubicon and found yours. How long have you had it and what is your honest opinion on it so far? I got a Traxter about a year ago but I would have gotten the Rubicon if it would have been out then.

I bought my Rubicon in August and have 250 miles on it.It replaced a Foreman 400 and there is no comparison,the Rubi is all I expected it to be.I work it pretty hard pulling a brush cutter around the trails at my hunting shack and haven't had any problems.Plenty of power,good ride,I would recommend it to anyone.

 

Thanks for the info REDGREEN. When my wife decides to give up her '93 300 FourTrax, I might see if she would like to get a Rubi! It'll be interesting to find out if it starts well in cold weather. Do you plan to use it to plow snow (if we get any that is)?

Same thing happened to me, except I was riding at night and lost both screws. I have them on order, but talking to the service manager he said that he's had about 14 people come back with the same problem.

 

Wow, talk about coincidence! I went riding at Badlands this weekend, and near the end of the day, I rode my daughter to the bathroom, and as I went to put it in neutral, the **** came off in my hand. The reapir shop there had a couple of screws with the right thread and width, but too long, so I used those to hold it on till I take it in for it's scheduled maintenance, which is now due.
