I’ve had it 12 years and changed the oil twice. Got a Honda engine in my pressure washer too. Old Home Depot rental until my FIL bought, abused, and then gave to me about 5 years ago. Changed the oil a couple times. Think the carb is kind of messed up because it surges but still works fine. Started this spring on the first pull, couldn't believe it. 1 hour ago, Beavis and Butt-Head said: even honda 4 wheelers are hard to beat, sure they are slow as fuck and are boring but knew a guy who had a cam am 800 outty he says that thing is a problem child compare to his 2nd 4 wheeler which is honda 500 he says outty 800 is like well rounded tits lady , alot of fun then when problems will pop up after you are done using it 800 miles on my Rancher. Bought it this spring, have had zero issues. Not the fastest or most powerful but still fun to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awful knawful Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 My Honda blower is awesome. My 1998 Honda trx300 has been bulletproof. My 2012 outlander 1000 has 500 hours and 18000kms. It's been really good. Can Am need more time, maintenance and TLC. The ones with issues are not looked after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had 13,000 miles on it when I let it go. I was 16 when I had it and I rode the shit out of it. Never gave a single issue. My Subaru's vin plate says Fuji heavy industries. Also the Subaru Impreza sti's from Japan in the 90's came with a front strut tower bar that was labeled STI Fuji heavy industries aerospace division 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireball 440 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I bought a Honda mower last time around after junking 2 B&S mowers that were less than 5 years old. Never thought I'd buy a $400 mower but it was worth it in the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
