I wouldn't say it's normal but it does seem to happen alot to new users of the XX.

General consensus is that they aren't adjusted correctly from the factory. I dont know if this is a Honda or a dealer issue.

i think hes confused with the raptor forums, this type of thing is not normal with a Honda

So with this one, that makes four reported issues that I could find:

blown clutch!!!
Brand New On Wed, 1 Hour Sat & Wont Move Help
I knew something was wrong...


So that makes a 0.546448087431694% failure rate among members reporting this issue from this site. (4 out of 732)

now what percentage of the 4 were inexperienced riders/operator errors?

I can't assume to know enough about any of the four to make a conclusion of that sort.

"alot"......OK bit of an exageration.

So in your infinate wisdom what happened?.......what can he do?

If you can't help then you are the problem........or is your wisdom "do a search" ?

IMO there is an issue with the XX clutch; it is a little weak.

Easy tiger, never claimed to be infinite in wisdom. If so I assure you I wouldn't be casting those pearls on a clutch thread. What can he do? Yep, not a mechanic either so I would say "bring it to a mechanic". I try to keep my replied (when I'm not obviously joking) factual and try not to take swags at it.

...and yes I did a search...there were only 4 members (ok maybe 5 with Wayne Matlock calling it "week") reporting this problem, so saying that a little over a half a percent of it being posted here was an extreme exaggeration.

It's like saying Australia is little island.

but Australia is a little island.

no i have had no problem with slipping

 

[shawnatjr]

im taking it to my dealer tommorow to see what they say. my best friend is the head mechanic up there and he told me today, that as long as me and him have been riding (years) i have ridden every one of his quads and never tore anything up, that he knows its not my fault, but honda is iffy with clutch replacements

Go get em tiger. Good luck.

If my equipment runs 4 bad parts out of 732, I'm pissed. In quality control, 1/2 percent is actually pretty high.

That's just reported at this site, not the total run though.
