What’s the difference? Locked vs. Unlocked differential!! 2020 Honda Rubicon 520

[@radioace318la]

Thanks for this demonstration. I've been trying to explain this to a pal of mine. He didn't "get it" until he saw your video. I just bought a 2024 520 Ruby camo. Very happy with it so far. I was surprised to see there is no way to switch from main to reserved fuel. I also can not turn the fuel off. I guess there is no need to do this because it is fuel-injected. Old habits die hard. Before I would set my old Rancher 350ES up for any length of time I would shut off the gas, run the machine until the carb bowl was empty, and die. I have just over 190 miles with 20 hours so far. I did my own 10 hour 100 mile maintenance. I didn't touch the valves because no tick and runs smooth as glass. I took an oil sample to send it into the Blackstone Oil Analysis Lab. I'm waiting for the results to be emailed to me. I cut the old filter apart and unfolded it. I did find a few specks of what appears to be aluminum. The magnet would not pick it up. I was shocked to see there is no aftermarket trunks for the rear rack that uses the little square holes to mount. I know Honda has a line of stuff that snaps in, but the price is outrageous. All the aftermarket stuff requires U bolts and drilling holes. I'm not a fan of either of those mounting options. Thanks for sharing your experience with us newbies. Cheers from Louisiana.

Glad to see the 520 alive👍

As a city boy who just got his first rubicon I can’t thank you enough. I understand this now. Thanks man.

New subscribe here. Until 2weekends ago I wasn’t on a 4wheeler sense I was 14-15. When I stopped riding wheelers with 4x4 was new. Road my sisters Honda foreman’s and it reminded me of how much fun it is. Your videos make me 300%. Confident in getting me and my wife a couple foreman’s. I want the rubicon with manual shift she wants a basic foreman. Love your vids even tho I’m late in the game

[@Rallysport31]

btw i recommend you go for the maxxis zillas. they are well priced. they dont weigh a ton so they dont rob power from your machine either. i had 26"s on my 350 rancher last year and it went thru some crazy stuff with those tires on i tell ya. they got a 1.75" lug on them too. think my front tires weighed like 20lbs and the rears like 25lbs each tire. so barely nttn at all. liked em so much i got 4 of the exact same tires just in a 27" for my newer machine

[@JacobOverman]

I’ve considered it. I had a set before on my 2017 rancher.

[@NilsKall]

Works good! In the last example, when the front wheel lost all traction you could se that the other tire stoped trying to move. It’s because you need torque to actuate the diff brake. Good video!

[@hashtagjustadad5110]

Fantastic explanation with demonstration.

[@JacobOverman]

Thank you

[@jwfirebird88]

i always get mudites since the original came out, they are light and float which is good for clay/bottomless mud and snow, and handling good for trail dual purpose, the xtr is too heavy the 2.0 mudlight is the best now. i got 2.0s now and i gained speed and you can go through anything in 2wd with the clearing and traction, and no vibration feels like stock tires but way better

[@Mr.Safety.]

Mudlites are a fantastic tire! We have a set on our old terrajet

[@Rallysport31]

good video man

[@doc559]

🏆🏆🏆👍🙏🇨🇱 Thank you for sharing

[@anthonysmith3085]

Put mudlite xxl 30×10×12 on my 2020 sra foreman. Think shipping and all for $600. Cheapest way to go in my opinion.

[@teylorschumacher9248]

One of the lug nuts on ur front left wheel is loose

[@bretthovis9088]

Hey, amazing job in explaining the front diff. I have a question though. How does the rear diff work? I didn't know if the diff lock locked the back tire as well or if they were independent.

[@JacobOverman]

The rear diff on all atv’s is locked all the time. Some sxs offer an open rear differential

[@Legionz414]

I have a CF Moto 400 recently bought. I didn't notice before but I do now. When I am in 2Hi I hear a humming sound, this is with the key in on but engine not fired up yet. But if I switch to 4Hi the humming goes away. If I go 4Hi diff lock I hear it again. Any idea??? Maybe it's always been there and I just didn't notice at first. Rookie to ATV

[@JacobOverman]

I have absolutely no idea what it would be. I’m not familiar with the cf motos

[@patflinn5224]

a gpod set of tires for ur machine id go with the kenda k299 bear claw great tire last a real long time not heavy or u could gowith sti black diamond at or xtr

[@JoelFJB]

Great content

[@chadweaver251]

How do you like the foot shift vs. the DCT? Have you had problems shift with work boots/winter boots/ hunting boots? Which transmission works better for winter/ hunting applications? I mostly ride in low for logging and farm work. Thanks

[@JacobOverman]

I never had a problem with boots. I had some issues with my waders being to big but they could still fit under the shifter. If your not mud riding specifically. I’d suggest a DCT. Footshift does get old after a while but ultimately more reliable

[@cb_jay9226]

Been watching for a min getting a Honda rubicon automatic DCT I think you should get 32x16 and 9 wides outlaw 2s

[@KP-to7xo]

get 29.5 aztex on a 14 inch rim and 9 wide

[@holtlipscomb5769]

Do u know how many inches tall that Warrior riser is I’m thinking about getting me one depending on how tall it is

[@JCGible]

[@Ms4570]

good example video

[@maxmcbride7215]

Nice

[@carlblankenship9501]

What’s the popping noise when u engage the diff lock? Mine does it too.

[@JacobOverman]

Axle is about to break. Popping axle.

[@anthonytech]

Did you notice any performance difference along with the valve adjustment

[@JacobOverman]

Not at all

[@anthonytech]

@@JacobOverman Yeah I've been putting mine off. Not sure it's that important to do. Maybe on a machine with 6k+ miles but not a new one. I had a 2000 Foreman 450S with near 5k miles on it and never had the valves adjusted. It did have a tick but had no problems idling or starting

[@suzukiz400xcrider6]

hey are they worth buying bc i was think about buy one

[@JacobOverman]

Yes

[@SAFE-AT-HOME-SPORTS.]

How the hell do you need a new top end blow a set of tires in 1249 miles, and 140 hours. Never mind I see now.

[@JacobOverman]

Yeah it saw a lot

[@levicurl9250]

Get og outlaws or outlaw 3s

[@JacobOverman]

I can get some outlaw 3’s 29.5 with some nice wheels brand new for $1300. Just heavier than I want

[@allen8736]
