They were asking 10,500 in Summerside, PEI for the unit I sat my *** on yesterday

 

Yes, I'm sure the throttle cable can be tightened up a little more. I've left it alone until it breaks in ... that way I won't be able to abuse it to bad until it breaks in a little more. I reached around 86 KM/H going down hill. Going up hill it would shoot ahead of the kodiak at first but once we got to the top end the gap between the Kodiak and the Rubicon remained the same. About 3.5 lbs of air in tires.

 

I have to aggree that if the Kodiak is beating you then you have some slack. The Rubicon also runs rich from the factory so if you can lean it out, the power will go up. Glad to see that yall have gotten your Rubicons up there!

 

When it is all said and done how much did it cost you to get it out the door? Hang on I have to sit down for this first,ok go ahead and tell me.

Seriously though I called yesterday and our dealer still has none in but they want $10000 that works out to $11700 out the door!Most all other bikes are $9000-$9500 out the door.I know you are sick of hearing about it but it just hard to believe.Can you imagine that some guys in the State bought the Rubicon for the reson it cost a little less than the others,it just makes me think.

 

keep me posted how your turns out.i ride mine everyday so i will do the same.Is your dads kodiak as fast as a wolverine?

 

Not sure how the Kodiak compares to a Wolverine. I don't know anyone that has one. Let's not lose site that the Rubicon was still faster then the Kodiak on take off. It just didn't pull away after they both reached top speed. Also, I expect the Rubicon will loosen up a little once it breaks in more and I tighten up the throttle cable, not to mention that the Carb is likely a little rich; as pointed out by TEXMUD and the valves will need to be reset, etc, etc. After a few tanks of gas I think everything will come together.

 

I now have 130 km and it has loosened up,I will taking taking it tomorrow for a ride to reach the 15o km and then start to work on it at night,I am also putting the plug that honda say,s for below 5 degres celcius.how much do you way?and do you a windsheild on?

 

Yes, there is a windshield. "How much do I way?" H'mmm, to much!!! well, well over 200 LBS!
I wonder if the other spark plug will make a big difference in the cold weather. Let us know!

 

Here's the thing, I am in Alberta, I can't get them to come down a penny on the Rubicon, but the thing is that I currently have no other quad to use this season. I don't know if I can wait until fall or maybe even later for the prices to come down. I amy have to bite the bullet and buy the dam thing anyways.

 

Mowser - at which dealership in Edmonton did you pick up your Rubi? How did you find the service?
