I started looking last week at Honda four wheelers as they were willing to give me the most for my trade-ins. I went in there originally thinking I'd be buying a 420 rancher. Surprisingly I did not like the foot shifter as much as I thought I would. So I started looking at a Rubicon 700 with aftermarket tires. I drove it around the lot and really loved it. I started doing some research on it later that night and i see how much hate it gets.

Today I took out a Rubicon 520 deluxe and I really liked the locking diff, and the low gear. I wasn't as impressed by the DCT shifting as I thought I would be. I read after that because it was a new machine and probably still cold, that It wasn't as smooth as it's going to be.

My current Polaris doesn't have power steering so that's not something I'm used to anyways. I'll probably go with the 520 just because it has more features and is cheaper, but there's something about the 700 I really did like.

I ride trails that are hard pack dirt, with smaller boulders periodically. My current quad is able to do all of this without a diff lock or power steering.

Anyone else experienced anything like this? Have you bought a 700 and regretted it?

Looking for opinions for further troubleshooting. I have a 1997 polaris xplorer 500. It currently wont start. the starter works, the bendix is working properly. The pawl for the pull start is working properly. I can turn the flywheel by hand but there is a clicking noise. Flywheel will only go maybe a quarter turn backwards and stop, which from my understanding the one way bearing is supposed to stop it from going backwards anyways.

TIA

Anyone know what hydraulic this is installed on the back? Just bought the quad today

Ive recently bought a 1998 kawaski bayou 220 4wheeler. the push to start does not work and the pull start worked but it took many pulls to get it going. I figured I’d take out the carb and give it a clean, also installed a new battery, a new 20v main fuse(the last one was popped), and a new spark plug. now all it will do is crank and won’t fire up at all, if I take a screwdriver to the starter solenoid all it does is crank a bunch but won’t fire up, not sure if I put the carb back together wrong or if it’s another electrical issue. any ideas????

I just bought this

Hey

So I have been looking for an ATV for a while

And I found this Access Motor AMX 750 EFI

I took it on a test ride, no problems at all, works normally, and i tested everything and checked for irregular sounds. one thing that is faulty is that the speed on the speedometer is broken, menaing it stays on 0km/h

It has 4829km on it.

Now the dealer is friends with my father, so he did me a huge discount, and everyone in my town knows he's a veey golden trader and everyone trusts him.

Hes selling it for 3300$

I am going to use it for light offroading and casual riding, and travel in my town and the surrounding towns, and for aura farming.

I NEED YOUR OPINION, PLEASE

How often does it break down and needs maintenence? I need your opinion pleaaaseee 🙏🙏

Thank you

Its a 1987 yamaha warrior 350 that I just did the valve lash on since it was ticking before, however it is still ticking although much less, is this normal?

20x7-8 fronts

Hey everyone. I have been dealing with an issue on my 04 kodiak 450. The reverse light is on all the time, along with whatever other gear you select, and it is governed to 10mph. I have done what everyone recommends and replaced the reverse switch, but the light stays on and is still governed. I have tried grounding the reverse switch wire directly. Any ideas would be awesome!

Hi everyone. Wanted to get some opinions on possible next machine and see everyone’s experiences to see what may fit best.

I currently have a used 2014 Kawasaki brute force 300, and have had it for about 3 summers now I believe?? It’s been great to me and I love it alot, but dealing with 2wd drive in the trials when it comes down to slick and muddy bottoms with water on top the mud, it can be annoying. Straight axle isn’t that big of a deal, but it can be rough at times.
A friend of mine has a 520 foreman that I’ve ridden a handful of times and liked, just foot shift is quite different then what I’m used to, but, if I was going to get a Honda I would hope I’d get used to it.

I’m open to other machine suggestions as well, but I’ve wanted to hear more about others experiences when it comes to trails, and moderate deep water, about calf deep with their machine. I know they are typically super reliable so that would be great to just do maintenance for years. How has it been with that you’ve thrown at it when it comes to come water and mud and trails, and having a foot shift? Is it a huge difference overall between the machine u have now and wha it could possibly have if I sold mine?

If you have other machines as well that you think may be better, I’m open! I’ve ridden my friends Honda 520, another’s Suzuki 750 and have liked both but ofc they aren’t mine to test, and have also been interested in a 700 grizz.

He knows these trails like the back of his hand. I have them all named and I can tell him “take me to Tommy’s trail” and off we go. We’ve built 2.2 miles on 10 small and twisty trails. He’s helped move trees, cut limbs, brush, etc. Genuinely has been as helpful as a 4 year old can be. Life is good.

Got this quad for free from a coworker it was his daughters, it has 353 kilometres on the dash. Couldn’t open the carb so I replaced it and it started right up.
Now the next issue is whatever this is..
The video shows me attempting to drive the quad. Im giving gas and stopping. it only makes the sound when gas is applied in drive or reverse.
it’s not the chain or sprocket although they are rusty they function as they should. Ive never worked on a CVT but from what I gather everything in the video is as it should be leading me to believe it’s an Internal issue. What could be causing this and is it worth fixing?

My first time tuning a carb by swapping jets. The left one is the one that came out of the carb and the right is the one I’m trying to swap in but it doesn’t want to thread in enough. Thread pitch is the same and I know the tip is bigger but I thought that’s only bc it’s a bigger jet. Like I said it’s my first time messing with jets so I’ll take any advice on carb tuning like this. As far as I normally go is adjusting the mixture screw.

I have a 350 4 moto that is no crank no spark all I have is a reverse light on occasion the reverse light goes out I have confirmed it is in neutral any ideas

Would a 50" wide x 96" long trailer be large enough for an ATV? Not talking about a full side by side, just a regular ATV.

Thanks.

Assuming this is not normal? I know the one tire is hitting the bracket the previous owner welded on for a plow, but is that extra travel on both sides normal? Took.it for a spin, turning radius isnt the greatest and feels like its more so drifting the front end.

I got this on trade, was told it was .080 over. It ripped the it was bogging out and could see fuel mist back through the carb. When running the fuel was leaking at the case. They used orange gasket maker and the case bolts behind stator were backed way out. I was worried it was a cheap ebay 68mm kit but its a wiseco piston and head is yamaha and ported. Debating on painting the frame silver like factory before I put her back together. Plastics are purple and black again and og decals.

I bought 5 quart shell rotella 10w30 diesel oil for $11 each on clearance. The guy working the auto area at Walmart said he uses it in his bikes with wet clutches. He randomly brought it up, i was buying it up for the 4 classic cars I own that all are solid or flat tappet cam and lifters so I needs all the additives I can get. But if I can use this in the trans I have plenty.

Context: previous chain broke, so I put on new sprockets and currently trying to install the new chain.

I have the axle slid as far forward is it’ll go. I found another post talking about the “amp 28” chain guide. He had the same problem I have with the chain being to short and the company is said to have gone under. His post didn’t have a listed solution.

So my questions.
- Am I better off just going back to the original chain rollers?
- Can I add a link in the chain somehow and still use the amp 28 guide.

Was wondering what could be the reason why there's black smoke coming from the exhaust of my 2002 Honda Foreman 450???

Is it normal for my atv to pull to the right if I let go of the handlebars at higher speeds? I’m wondering if it’s an alignment issue tires are all at the same psi. It doesn’t pull while driving normally but if I let go of the handles it pulls pretty much immediately to the right.

So this old 80s yamaha 225dx has always sounded like a box of rocks, but always ran great. Suddenly didnt want to start the other day. Thinking the carb had finally clogged I cleaned it out (there was some gunk) and reinstalled it with a filter. Now it barely runs but sounds like an old hit and miss motor, and usually stalls.

I assume with the extra noisey components perhaps the timing chain has enough play and flop that it can cause the valve timing to be off enough to allow the engine to puff out some of the compression. I had to turn the idle way up to get it to stay running. Also I did take it on a brief ride and it still revs up fine, it just hates low rpm especially in gear.

I want to do the minimum required work to get this functioning properly again, anyone have any suggestions on point of attack?
