    Hi Jacob, thanks for the vid. After having a very bad experience with a 1999 polaris 500 magnum ( bought brand new), I decided to go back home to honda. I did enjoy the cvt on the polaris so i decided to compromise with a new 2000 rancher 350 with electric shift. This was a work only atv ...hauling wood and plowing snow. I really liked the electric shift. When i asked the honda salesman if electic shift was long term relaible...like 10 years or more he said of course ...It's a Honda !!
    My rancher was relaible up to around 8 years old before having major issues related to the electric shift. I really got pissed off with the "buttons " and the "questionable" honda relaibilty. Up to 2013 I endured theses very costly and irritating issues until i had enough. So now I have a 2013 420 with ps and straight axle. No more electric issues. For me it all comes down to this question...How long do you want to keep your honda atv ? If the answer is around 8 years , then go ahead with the electric shift because they really are fun to operate. But if it's more than that, then i would stay away from them. Anyway thanks for taking the time to make theses videos and hopefully one day you will make a real long term video on a 15 year old electric shift !! haha

    Thanks. I'm considering one of these so this was really helpful. Would have liked watching you drive in manual shift mode too. My current quad has CVT which works very well. What I NEED is power steering because I have bad arthritis in my shoulder, which is why I'm considering this machine.

    My Honda 420 with DCT has been an absolute $hitshow it's literally been in the shop more hours that it has on it. Mine is a 2017 model and it actually broke down the first week I owned it, took them 3 weeks to fix it. Now with 300 miles and 70 hours it's down again, same DCT problem that they can't seem to diagnose.

    I know someone with two 2007 ranchers with the ES and they have had no issues what so ever. It seems the ES is very reliable and non problematic, so if anyone was a little bit weary about the ES, don’t be. He beats the shit out of his because he lives in the snow, he uses them like tools, like they are used to be, they do just fine. He swears by his Honda’s. He got a rubicon, 2 ranchers, and a recon.

    The footshift goes 1-2 mph faster, its geared a touch different.
    I like the gearing better on the dct, I have a footshift, my brother has a dct and we both have 27 inch tires. In high first and second is taller on the dct which I find better as we go 5-10 mph on rough trails which is great for first in high or second in low on the dct but in between gears on the footshift, im revving in first or lugging in second alot to go the speed I want in rough spots.

    I like how you mentioned CVT. I was thinking the same thing, because I believe Honda actually makes a chain CVT for some of their cars. Why they can't scale that down and put it in their Foreman's, I don't know. They already scaled down an actual auto trans with a torque converter. That's what is in the Rencon.

      You realize Power steering has been the thing since 2007 and the DCT has been around since 2009 right? This stuff is. Nothing new and honestly if you actually use your four wheeler every day like I do or have ever ridden one with power steering, you would really regret your decision of cheaping out because they “can fail” because I have never had any power steering issues or any issues with the DCT unless of course, you abuse them

    Bought mine last August. Been in the shop more than I have rode it. Dct would get stuck in a gear, have to turn it off to reset. Plus from day 1, it would sputter at low rpms. All kinds of codes are showing up. Now they say there is a recall on the program and mine will not except it. I have a case with honda, that they don't seem worried about that I have a new 4 wheeler that I can't ride. I feel like they just need to get me a new one but doubt that will happen. One of my worse decision to go buy a new honda. Now when everything is working right it is a awesome machine.

      @ethanmcleod8819 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I have a 2020 DCT, and I've had a similar issue with it getting stuck in gear. From my experience and from what I've heard from other people with DCTs of various year models, it is an issue of getting stuck in 3rd gear. Generally caused by jumping into or dropping down into 3rd from too high of an RPM. Doesn't matter if you're in manual or auto. In my experience, I can ride for months and never have an issue, then randomly it could happen 2 or 3 times in a span of 15 to 20 minutes, then not happen again for months. I have a great dealer and they have seen similar issues roll into their service department. They seem to think its a faulty solenoid, but replacing a faulty factory part with another faulty factory part doesn't change anything beyond how much money you have in your pocket at the end of the day. The issue is not even guarantied to happen either. I know plenty of people who have DCTs with an absurd amount of hours on them and have never experienced any issues. To be honest, Honda probably just outsources the solenoids and the factory that makes them have poor quality inspections. I don't know. As for throwing codes, I have no idea. I've only ever experienced the common for wheel drive code that can easily be fixed and overridden by just starting the bike with the 4wd button already pushed. Maybe water got in your relays, which is quite easy to do. I got water in my relays once while washing it. The bike wouldn't run right so I left the relays unplugged and the bike sitting out in the yard for an afternoon and it fixed it right up.

    • @bryandunn4886
      @bryandunn4886 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, sounds just like mine and it flashes with the dashs. Flashes twice slow then twice fast, think that makes it code 22, which is something with the shift module, like its forgets where it is. You would think after 15+ years they would have it working flawlessly or just do away with the junk. But thanks for the feedback, great info.Ethan

    But if your asking for a Honda only option...
    Both are meh.
    The auto, I know 3 people, all are 2018 and newer, I'm not familiar with models, but 2 are the same, one is the same as yours. They ALL have the same transmission issues where it doesn't shift when it should and almost always up hill when you need it to work right so you don't die.
    The dealership had the one a total of 13x over 4 years and approx 14000km if I recall. They always said they can't figure it out. Straight up said we will not replace the ATV. They even strapped a computer to the pod to analyze the issue. And it saw the problems.
    Finally after some calls to the better business bureau they replaced the ATV. The new one does it too and it's a 2022 lol.
    I think Honda reliability is a thing of the past and your better off buying a really old one than a new one.

    My 2020 foreman makes motor noise, you check the valves at 100 miles? I did and they were like 4 thou and 6 thou if I can remember right. I flushed the rear diff on mine at 100 miles and that dif fluid was black as tar and had plenty of shavings in it. Might be your diff noise

    My 2015 TRX420FA6F is not shifting past 3rd. R,N,1,2 are all good and I can downshift my 2nd to 1st when going slow but once I'm in 3rd I need to come to a complete stop to get it to downshift. Once in 3rd and cruising I can hear it keep attempting to shift but it just won't go. I'll get a code 23 on the "-" symbol. I've already replaced the angle sensor and cleaned and re greased the shift motor gears in front with white lithium. Only 1200km on it.... somone help!!

  • @jonsatvoutdoorchannel6686

    You have a decent review but I wish you would’ve covered more of how the electric shift handles. Bc I grew up on a 1998 Foreman ES and a 2001 Honda Rancher ES and I loveeee the electric shift. And if I bought a Rubi (thinking hard about it) I truly believe the majority of my riding would be in Electric Shift mode. Also is the drive/low range only a ‘thing’ in Automatic mode? How does the Electric shift handle in water/mud? I know it won’t be as reliable as the foot shift in that regard but I’m still interested in that nonetheless.

    • @JacobOverman
      @JacobOverman  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Footshift doesn’t have high or low range like the DCT. I wish I could have gave you a better review. In the mud it’s hit and miss. I have a buddy been mud and water riding over 1 1/2 with his and never had an issue. I had a 17 rancher and never had an issue. My 21 hasn’t had an issue. But I have heard of people having problems with it. In my experience they have been great.

      The electric shift is even more improved over what you have, I bought a rubicon and thought “I’ll never use the auto shift” well that’s all I use, I don’t do any shifting anymore myself.
      As far as the low range, you have two different sets of gears in the transmission for high and low, it’s a true low range, so 5 gears of high range and 5 separate gears of low range.
      I have been in Colorado for a testing out my new rubicon on the mountain trails.
      I found myself using 2 wheel high, 2 wheel low, 4 wheel high and low and only needed the diff lock once or twice the whole trip.
      It’s an extremely capable quad, however, the power level is noticeably low, I grew up on sport quads though but across the board people seem to all mostly feel it’s low on power

    I want the footshift in red. But they quit making red this year. Which is stupid because honda's color are red.
    But the only problem is the footshift is not offered without power steering. It's like you're forced to have to have power steering. If you buy the footship and I don't understand why to me It's just something else to break. I want the foot shift without power steering.

    • @JacobOverman
