I’ve had mine for almost 2 months , just trying to break it in ( 20 hours or 200 miles ) before winter so I can plow with it if needed . So far , about 14 hours and 70 miles , I’ve spent about half in low , half in high gear when I ride it ( all on road ) , just to use different r p m’s . So far , I love it , but it’s a beast weight wise and turning radius isn’t great as you stated . Once broke in , it will be used almost primarily in low gear and on my property ( hauling some limbs and grass and such ) . I’m sure it will last a long time as it will be maintained to the hilt .
Good luck getting it broke in on time. Took me almost a year lol. I could’ve did some local trails to speed up the process, but I’ve been pretty busy this year and had no reason to rush. I do plan on getting the two-up seat for the back so the wife and I can enjoy some of the trails here in Maine. Enjoy yours my friend, hope you get some good snow to play in. Thanks for watching..!
@shawndale1552 I’ve only taken it for two rides where I needed to be in high gear running around 35/40 mph. I noticed the heat and have heard others mention it. Not been a problem for me at low speed around the house so far.
I have upgraded mine so much it's not even close to a stock machine. Here's my list to make one perfect. Headers and duel exhaust upgrades then send them to jet hot coatings. They coat it, and it will never rust and cuts all Temps in half permanently. Thus increasing the life of your machine from heat soak. Tune, stage 3 clutch kit, stage 1 Hester Elka shocks. A must-have for this tippy bitch. 1inch wheel spacers help as well. I'm running a square tire setup 14×27×8 on 10 ply Mongrel off road radials. Great on and off pavement. If you do nothing else, do the shocks! Will make it a way safer machine broski.
@shawndale1552 that’s excellent, sounds like a beast ! Funny how life works, I’m pushing 60, thirty years ago I would’ve been spending every paycheck on upgrading and accessories. Now I’m content with just keeping things in good shape.. although as things need repair or replaced I always have to upgrade to something new & better. Appreciate the input, shocks probably will come first on my list..!

I've got a 2023 1000 overland with over 1500 miles, no issues. Get video broski.
Damn, that’s a heck of a lot of trail riding.. appreciate the input, thanks for watching.!
The heat from the catalytic converters made riding mine almost unbearable. Got some team msc headers and a tune, completely different machine.
