18hp or 24hp
I currently have an 18hp honda in my G2.I have the oppertunity to purchase a honda 24hp for half the price of a new one.I'm just not sure I really need it.lol
I am happy with the 18 but would like a little more power for the long steep hill's.My true concern is having that extra power to really put me in situation's I would rather not be in..It truly is a safety issue,you know,a few too many and before you know it your talking out your A$$ that you can smoke that piece of crap RZR..  Is it really worth it?? |

Re: 18hp or 24hp
I am very pleased with the abundance of juice I am getting from my
23, and I climb a hill with it everyday. Part of it is rocky...  I can't imagine it not having enough, but I guess if I was down in HP a little I would notice, I sure noticed with my old engine. |

Re: 18hp or 24hp
Thank's Scotty and csason,I guess it's more a concern with to much to drink than to much power....

Re: 18hp or 24hp
Ok I got my 24hp installed with my new clutch,but I am now hearing a little CLUNK noise (I think from the rearend) when I turn the engine off.And it is in nuetral...As well I am having an issue with getting into reverse or even nuetral after driving it just a short distance,even at low idle..I have to shut it off to get it outa gear..

Re: 18hp or 24hp
Sounds like it is idling to high and holding the clutch in.
