Currently 44 Posted April 26, 2023 Went from one extreme (‘22 Rubicon) to the other (new leftover ‘21 Recon manual shift) As there is no instrumentation with these base model Recons, how does one stay on top of maintenance? I know they are simple and tough, are there any specific items to keep a close eye on? Ordered the trailer kit with oil temp monitor. Main use will be trail riding and working my property with the wife using it mostly. We are finding it hard to shift, will this loosen up with time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are finding it hard to shift, will this loosen up with time? when new..yes..they are a tad harder to shift...don't worry..it will shift easier the more you ride it. other than normal oil changes, brake shoe checks , air filter changes, spark plug changes, lubing the cables, keeping the fuel treated when sitting ?, its an easy atv to maintain. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldmxrider 73 Posted April 27, 2023 Maintenance times on motocross race bikes We use easy to install hour meters. They are cheap and work great ! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Currently 44 Posted April 27, 2023 Thank you! I’ll be ordering spare complete air filter assembly, spark plugs and other spare parts. Had the dealer throw in the first maintenance items with the deal. Can’t wait for the trails to open up to break it in. Hour meter is a great idea, I know exactly where to mount it!
