Will this thread ever die!!!!!!!!

 

Yo the drum breaks on the honda rincon 650 are the best.I have scramber 500 with and every 500 to 600 miles they are warn out .My rincon has over 3000 miles and still have not replaced the pads

 

Thats okay I'll take better stopping power and have to replace my brakes every so often then not be able to sotp in time!!! I am not sure what pads you are buying to only get 500 miles out of them. My AC, Polaris, and Honda all have a lot more mileage out of them. My AC has 1400 miles and the brake pads are just fine!!!

As for the Honda Rincon--We went riding with our club a couple of weeks ago. The only two times we had to stop was to fix the honda's!!! One Rubicon the steering was loose. The other reason was the RINCON overheated climbing a hill!!!!! The guy was right behind me, I looked back and steam was just billowing out from the radiator!!!!! One of the ladies made the comment "Funny how the newest and most expensive machine breaks down!!!" I just laughed and said well, He could have saved over 1,000.00 and bought any other brand and not had to break down!!! It appears to me that the Honda can win the baja as long as it is going fast across the desert but it can't climb a hill with out overheating!!! Thats what I call reliability!!!! hahaha

 

I have friends with the Rincon, Prairie, Sportsman, Quest and Grizzly's and of all of them we all agree even the Rincon owners that the Rincon is the least impressive. Although it has a few good points it falls short over all.
