2015 rubicon gear reduction?

I’ve been wondering if this is even possible and can’t really find any info about it. I know for sure that you can put a gear reduction on a 2015 rubicon 500 footshift but my question that I can’t seem to figure out is: can you put a GR on a 2015 rubicon 500 auto dct with the High/Low range. Any insight would be awesome I’m not very knowledgable in this topic. Thanks!

1997 300 2wd

I’m just wondering what exactly ill need to help it keep up with a 4wd. I don’t plan on selling it and im open to just about anything for it. Do they make lockers for this model and how easy is it to snorkel by myself?

2015 rubicon floating question

hello all!
so here in the next couple months im working on snorkeling my 15 rubi 500 dct eps irs bike! im also debating exhaust and optimizer (but thats not what this post is about) my main question is about how well these bikes float. i watch a guy on youtube by the name of christian amy, love the way his bike is set up. he is running some 31 inch outlaws, anyway i am going to be going with some 29.5 skinnies on a 14inch remington wheel. do yall think that size tire will float my bike? before i go snorkel deep and realize its not floating the front and its still getting deeper is there a way maybe put a plug in the exhaust and maybe get out there on a boat launch with some buddies to hold it upright to see how it does? maybe a second test with me on the bike (rider weight 210lbs) i imagine that would work, if yall have any other way that might work better please feel free to leave your opinoin!
Thanks!

2015 honda rubicon 500 exhaust

hello everyone,
I am new to this thread and I am riding a 2015 Honda rubicon 500 dct eps (no ps). I am debating on biting the bullet and putting a full exhaust on my bike (I know its pricey). anyway im thinking about doing this because anytime I get into a hole that gets above the exhaust the bike dies out if you let off the throttle. of course I don’t mean to do this and its a miracle that nothing has been damaged badly (this has only happened severely like twice). but I see some of my buddies go in deep and stop totally let off the throttle and put their bike in reverse and/or just hop off the bike and they all have exhaust or are carbureted and can easily adjust their idle speed. does anybody know of a way to adjust the idle speed of the new fuel injected bikes? if not any feedback from people that have an exhaust or a possible solution to this problem

P.S: I really do not want an exhaust snorkel.

Thanks for any advice!

Opinions on axel brands

I have an 08 rancher and i am in need of two new axels for the front. They are both very worn from my two inch lift but i just don’t know what axels to buy. I know that gorilla is the best lift replacement axel (or so I’ve heard) but i am not paying 800 bucks for a set of axels. Any suggestions? should i just buy a good set of stock length axels or should i go with the lift replacement?

Does anyone know how many vents lines on 2015 rubicon500

I have done front and rear diff. Fan and gas tank. Iam looking for a break vent but can’t see any. And the tube that sticks done right by the oil filter. Should I do that one . Looks to be right by the the coolant line that come in to motor. Bigger line but very low. All I did was for gas vent was stick a golf tee in it and run up with the rest under front headlight that line was just connected to frame so I think it will be fine . Anything I missed. Would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Some advice on 2015 Honda rubicon

I have recently purchased a new Honda rubicon. I love the bike but twice now after doing some water and mud riding my air box had water in it. Now the water I was in was not very deep at all . Not near the gas tank. I have no mods done yet as of snorkel or vent lines. My concern is where is the water coming in from ? Do you think it is from the breather pipe from air box ex. Water splashing up and coming in. Or is it from vent lines? My wife is riding the 420 same stuff and no water? Any advice . I know I will probably be installing snorkel and vent lines just for peice of mind but not to excited about water. Thanks I appreciate the help
