  4. Even though the recall doesn't seem to include the 2021 models, I would call your dealer or Honda just in case, as you just never know . Honda Fuel Pump Recall.pdf
  5. Everyone is going to have their own opinion, so here is mine. My wife and I started off with Honda in 1998, both Foremans. Great machines, never let us down, all around great quads. In early 2000, we switched over to Yamaha's, both Kodiaks, again, good machines. Then again, around 2010, we went over to Polaris, both Sportsmans, ended up with PS models later on, and what a nice change that was, lots of fun to ride. Then, speed up to 2021, both getting older, took a look at the new 520 Rubicons with - EPS - IRS - DCT, took them for a ride, and we were both sold ! The DCT shifts like butter, after the software update, and yes, not that great in mud when in DCT - but you also have the - Electronic shift option which works very well for everything. When we both go out for rodes, my wife just loves how the PS works, and how effortless it is to drive. She can pretty much do a full day on the trails now, with no fatigue like before. I mainly use mine for hunting Big game, and I must admit, when we are is the dense forest, these things are the most nibble quad i have ever driven. It just seems small, and its very easy to maneuver around trees and stumps, and I don't have to worry about any belt issues in the deeper water. Put the Diff Lock on in Low first gear, ! near pull anything out of the bush, again, with no belt slip. Also, with their new electronic reverse change as of 2020, that was the hold back for me, and it now also works great. It would be pretty much impossible now for us to want to look at anything else. Good luck shopping, but taken them for a ride should tell the story.
  6. Well, I have had Polaris's since the late 90's, all in the 500 - 550cc range, and my riding / hunting buddy always had Honda's. I pulled him out a number of times because in the older models - his last Foreman was a 2006 - I used to always say to him, are you taking your 3 wheel drive out hunting again this year !! We also do some trail riding, and the DCT is sweet. The Polaris belt drive wasn't the greatest for hunting in the swampy areas we were in for Elk and Moose, so once they added the diff lock, I became a little more interested. Then, FINALLY, in 2020, they changed that crazy reverse lever to an electronic switch. So we took a couple out for test rides, and within the 15 minute test ride we had, we were sold, we bought two of them. He bought the Camo - 520-EPS-IRS-DCT-DELUXE and I took the same in red, not the deluxe, as I wanted to add my own style of rims, and more aggressive tires. Long story short, this is one of the most comfortable quads I have ever driven, the PS is amazing - much better than my last Polaris ( 2016 Sportsman ) very comfortable ride, easy on the body ( 61 ) can pull a train with the diff lock on in low, I couldn't be happier with it. You are not going to win any races, but you will always get to where you're going, and back, and for what we use them for, I'm now a full fledged Honda fan. Its also a nice fuel sipper, unlike my Polaris, but there is a HP difference as well. Good luck with yours, and I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
