Hello. There are four Honda ATVS in our family, so I have looked at this forum a number of times in the past few years. This forum can provide some very good information, and you also have some members that are very helpful. But after looking at your forum a little more recently, there are a few people who answer every post they see, whether they have the right answer or not. They may have never owned a Rubicon before, but, when someone asks about a Rubicon, they answer with a guess, or with something they may have heard from another person (we call that a rumor). They will tell you that a product is junk, even though they never owned that product, or had an experience with it. They will guarantee you that a particular type of transmission will fail (which is absolutely ridiculous). And, they will write paragraphs about why you should follow their instructions, even though they have no qualifications to answer your question. They think that because they have owned a Honda for 2 years, or 30 years, they are an expert on every model. Don’t get me wrong, there are people on your forum who are qualified to answer questions. But, there are other people who have nothing better to do than to speculate and stroke their own ego by answering posts with bogus and inaccurate information. Those people are not helping anyone! If someone doesn’t have experience with brakes, then they shouldn’t be giving Brake Information. And, if they don’t understand how the electronics operate on a motorcycle or ATV, then they shouldn’t be giving advice on electronics.
I know that this is not a typical introduction for a new member. But, I have seen a few of your members lately who are misleading and confusing people because they would rather speculate or pass on bogus rumors than say nothing at all. These people do not make your forum a better forum. Instead, they just leave people confused and misdirected. I won’t mention any names, but the first letters of a few of these peoples names are W, M, J. This forum would be a much more informative place if these speculators would use the forum as it is supposed to be used (to help Honda owners solve problems and questions) instead of being used as a Facebook kind of place where rumors and speculation are normal.
