02 Rincon Engine braking problem
My friends 02 Rincon no longer has any engine breaking left. While I am mechanically inclined enough to tear anything apart and rebuild it, I don't have enough experience or knowledge to troubleshoot this problem. Any help would be appreciated.
My mistake, it might have been a 02 Rubicon.

02 Rincon Engine braking problem
A bit confusing, but it appears RedRubi traded "up" from a Rincon to Rubicon. Never ridden a Rincon, but owned two Rubicons, and they have great engine braking control. Can't say enough good about the Rubicon transmission. (suspension is another story!) The new Honda "Big Red" has the Rincon drive train, what a disappointment! The designers just forge ahead, oblivious to what the owner complaints are on this and other forums.

Nuke, I did say I traded "UP" to the Rubicon from the Rincon. The reason is because I think the Rubicon is a far better machine, especially tranny wise. I did like the ride of the Rincon better, but I don't have any complaints with the Rubicon ride either. It rides far better than any other SRA I have ridden, and it handles great. The engine on the Rubicon doesn't hammer like the Rincon did either. I personally just like the Rubicon better for how I ride. I'll never buy again without a good test ride.

Personally I prefer the Rincon to my buddy's Rubicon, but only in some situations... If you ride trails that are nothing but big rocks and roots, and tend to do 100 mile plus days, the Rincon is the machine I'd take... but I do wish it had a low range.

That's a good plan. The Rincon isn't for everyone, and I hate to see someone buy a machine only to find out later it was the wrong choice for them.
