Yes please help i also wanna know a way to get sum more power maybe a jet kit but what on is the best
I'm sure everyone is still recovering form theSurprising...no one has any suggestions or is this forum just not very active?
On your warranty, my dealership said that a slip on exhaust and air filter did NOT void it but changing the jet and messing with the carb will. My suggestion is if something happens, put back on all the stock stuff before you take it to them.Thanks Bigvic,
I'd like to keep my Rubicon stock if possible. I purchased the extended warranty on my atv and dont' want to take the chance of voiding my warranty by modifying the bike. It's not that I look for mud and water when riding but it's sometimes hard to avoid.
Another question...on the automatic 500's...is it bad to power shift using the thumb shifter? Meaning, is it bad to shift gears while keeping the bike at full throttle? If so, why?
Thanks again,
Power shifting with the thumb shifter will not hurt anything as it is not a true manual shifting transmission. The thumb shifter only give you a simulated manual shift with the Rubicon's Hondamatic.Thanks Bigvic,

Snorkle- For the snorkel it's best to have one if you go deep often, but not manditory if you dont go deep. As far as building or buying well that depends upon your plumbing skills. If your confident you can seal it up good than go ahead and go for it, you will save a lot of money.Snorkel Kit - Is it best to buy a kit or is it best to make the kit yourself? Is it necessary to install a breather extension for the carb and diffs at the same time? Is this considered a mandatory modification?
Pull Start - Do most people put silicon on the housing to prevent water entering? Again, mandatory?
At the end of the day, I can't predict the type of riding I'll encounter on the trails. Mud, sand, water, whatever...I just want to have fun with my atv and minimize the risk of damaging it on my adventures. Surely there are some MUST DO's that prevent costly repairs. What are they? Thanks,

Yes, thumb shifting with the throttle down doesn't hurt anything on the Rubicon. It doesn't have actual gears so you aren't actually shifting anything to hurt it. Confusing, but quite awesome.
