2009 Honda TRX500PG CTE Canadian Trail Edition
New for 2009, the Honda TRX500PG Canadian Trail Edition Rubicon
combines the many benefits of Honda's Electric Power Steering (EPS) with the
great handling of made-for-Canada suspension calibration. EPS makes the steering
lighter when you need it to be, while also helping to minimize kickback when
the front wheels hit a rock, rut or other obstacle. You stay more in control,
and long rides or tough jobs suddenly become a whole lot less tiring. And
with special Canadian Trail Edition suspension calibration, you get a smooth
ride in all sorts of conditions without compromising stability and control.
Features & Benefits
Key Features
- Honda’s Electric Power Steering (EPS) helps reduce rider fatigue,
helps
minimize kickback at the handlebar when the front wheels are deflected by
a rock or other obstacle, and improves overall comfort and control
- Adjustable suspension developed through extensive testing in Canada
- Significantly better comfort due to suspension calibration, without
loss of
stability
- Crisp response from the fully automatic Hondamatic® transmission,
which
also features push-button Electric Shift Program™ (ESP) control
- GPScape® built into the dash helps takes the worry out of exploring
new
trails
Engine/Drivetrain
- Liquid-cooled overhead-valve single-cylinder 499 cc four-stroke engine
is mounted longitudinally in the frame, allowing direct driveshaft alignment
to front and rear wheels for improved drivetrain efficiency.
- Liquid-cooling provides consistent engine operating temperature in
extreme conditions for maximum power output and long engine life.
- Camshaft is located adjacent to the cylinder head, reducing engine
height. Together with the external engine-oil tank, engine height is further
reduced for a low centre of gravity and excellent handling.
- Four-valve cylinder head utilizes two short pushrods to provide a broad
powerband for optimum performance and engine efficiency.
- Unique dry-sump oiling system attaches the oil tank to the front of
the engine cases, lowering engine height and allowing optimum engine placement
for excellent ground clearance and superb handling.
- Standard high-flow oil cooler ensures optimal engine lubrication under
difficult operating conditions.
- The multiple scavenging oil system utilizes an oil pump with three
sintered steel rotors (one for feed, two for scavenge) to provide a stable
oil supply in diverse riding conditions.
- Unique temperature indicator uses two sensors to monitor both oil and
coolant temperature.
- High-capacity coolant radiator is rated at 17.2 kW for efficient engine
cooling in extreme operating conditions.
- Compact, flat-shaped radiator fan motor is lightweight and contributes
to optimum engine placement.
- Compact, flat-shaped radiator fan motor is lightweight and contributes to optimum engine placement.
- Rubber-cushion engine mounting and gear-driven counterbalancer reduce
vibration.
- Integral electric carburetor heater system improves driveability and
ensures smooth operation in cold conditions.
- Convenient electric starter, with auxiliary recoil starter and an
automatic internal decompression system.
- Solid-state CD ignition with electronic advance for excellent performance
and reliability.
- Stainless steel exhaust system provides superior corrosion resistance.
- Closed crankcase vent system safeguards against engine oil contamination.
- Switchable 2WD/4WD enables the rider to shift between 2WD and 4WD with the simple push of a switch. Quiet operation and smooth engagement are key features of the system. An electromagnetic mechanical clutch unit (EMCU) located on the centre of the propeller shaft engages 4WD with a quiet two-way roller clutch. Unlike mechanical designs, this ensures smooth operation by employing a magnetic switching mechanism that engages when front and rear wheel speeds vary by less than 9.6 km/h.
- The Hondamatic transmission utilizes variable hydraulic pressure and mechanical torque amplification to provide seamless job-handling power and excellent acceleration. Engine power drives a hydraulic pump. The pump, in turn, drives a hydraulic motor with variable fluid capacity. Utilizing pump and motor pistons and a variable-pitch motor-side swash plate, hydraulic capacity and pressure are varied, producing continuously variable output speed. In addition, torque is increased as output-shaft speed is reduced.
- Dash-mounted knob switches to one of three electronic shifting programs: D1 for maximum performance, D2 for very low traction situations, and ESP, Honda's exclusive Electric Shift Program. D1 and D2 modes provide continuously variable transmission output; ESP allows the rider to "shift" the Hondamatic with the touch of a thumb using two push-buttons mounted on the left handlebar.
- The Hondamatic is extremely efficient, with operating efficiencies
ranging from 75-81 percent in full-reduction mode and from 87-92 percent when
input and output speeds are the same (1:1 ratio).
- The Hondamatic is fully sealed, compact and maintenance-free, with
no belts to wear out and replace.
- The Hondamatic features true engine braking, unlike conventional belt-drive
designs.
- Versatile rider controls provide a shift lever to select Drive, Low,
Neutral and Reverse.
- The Hondamatic uses multi-filtered (one large-capacity filter and three
strainers) engine oil as hydraulic fluid, simplifying maintenance and ensuring
an adequate oil supply in all operating conditions.
- Unique torque-sensitive front differential provides superior traction compared to a conventional limited-slip design, and reduces torque steer substantially for less steering effort.
Chassis/Suspension
- Honda's revolutionary Electric Power Steering (EPS) system monitors
steering torque and vehicle speed to adjust the levels of steering assist
and feel. When stopped or at low speeds, it provides more assistance for light
steering effort. As speed increases, the amount of assistance is reduced to
provide the appropriate level of feedback. Perhaps the most significant benefit
is that the system will provide light and consistent steering feel in both
2WD and 4WD operation. As a secondary benefit, the EPS system acts as a steering
damper to greatly reduce undesirable kickback through the handlebars in rough
or rocky terrain, thereby helping to reduce rider fatigue.
- Dual front disc brake calipers feature a patented built-in scraper
system to remove mud and snow from inside the front wheel to help prevent
build-up of debris between caliper and rim and ensure consistent braking performance.
- Brake pads feature thick, long-wearing material with
improved mud durability, feel and control. Pads feature internal scraper that
gives audible warning when pad life is low.
- Rugged frame and suspension provide 190 mm (7.5 inches) of ground clearance.
- Steering mechanism design features light effort and a
tight turning radius of 3.3 metres (10.8 feet).
- Suspension calibrated specifically for Canadian trail conditions, offering
improved comfort and control. Canadian Trail Edition features different suspension
springs, different spring rates, different rebound and compression damping
settings, as well as revised front to rear balance. Together these suspension
settings provide improved ride, handling and control in Canadian trail conditions.
- Independent double-wishbone front suspension uses premium
adjustable shock absorbers to provide 170 mm (6.7 inches) of suspension travel
for a plush, comfortable ride.
- Steel swingarm and dual rear adjustable shock absorbers provide 170
mm (6.7 inches) of suspension travel for superb comfort and compliance.
- Attractive, large-diameter 12-inch aluminum wheels reduce
unsprung weight for excellent ride and handling.
- Tough, large-diameter 25 x 8-12 front, 25 x 10-12 rear tires for precise
handling.
Additional Features
- GPScape is contained within the standard meter assembly and features
storage for up to 100 waypoints, digital compass function indicating travel
direction and an automatic compensating clock. When travelling or returning
to a designated waypoint, GPScape will tell the rider distance and direction
from present location.
- Available NaturalGear camouflage colour scheme offers
a pattern that's soft, open, and shadow-free for superior camouflage performance
in a wide variety of conditions. A special application process ensures superior
durability.
- Water-resistant storage is integrated into body work.
- Engine design produces low emissions and meets California
Air Resources Board (CARB) off-road emissions standards.
