Zooki love thread....

[XR500]

What year is it? We bought a brand new one in 2017 (I think..) and it was a complete lemon kept on blowing fuse for the fuel pump and stranding us. In the end it was something to do with the wiring on that year model running close to the exhaust somewhere and melting as it happened to quite a few of them.

Its an 09. And its main fuse#2 that blows all the time.

Honda technician said it can be really hard to diagnose.
Said use a paperclip to short the fuse and quickly look for the smoke, then pull the paperclip out.

But the quad doesn't own us anything really, given the thrashing its been subjected to for 10 straight years and have had to replace bugger all. One set of tyres, no brake pads, and some plastic welding. But I cringe every time I see my wife racing over hill and down dale on the thing attempting to round up a stroppy cow. I'm more than happy to use the two wheeler, but limiting her to either the horse or a zook ute will suit me fine. She may live a bit longer that way
