New to forum, just bought first ATV

My name is Jeff from China Grove, NC. I’m new to the group, I just got a new ATV for the first time. I got the 2016 Honda FourTrax Foreman Rubicon 4×4 the other day. I’ve already put around 30 miles on it. I couldn’t be happier with it at the moment. It has power steering (EPS), and the manual foot shifter which is what I wanted. A lot of them from what I saw are either electronic push button shift or fully automatic.

Gearbox Grind

Well, we took it apart, seems like the High Sleeve and Low / Reverse sleeve were used up so we replace them.

Put all back together, same grinding noise as before but now not just in HIGH, but in Neutral

We had deducted that it was high gear because when riding, it only did it in High.

Now we jacked it up in garage and Neutral will give us the noise turning the rear tires backwards and same in high. Low and Reverse are OK.

Any ideas? seems something is hooking up when we spin it faster. Someone mentioned the Park Lever inside the clutch would move and rub the gear to park it. but reverse and low doesn’t do it

New cable, adjusted to shift and even with the cable off and putting in gear ourselves, same thing.

Here’s a video

Oil Filters

Wanted to share how I generally keep up with service, specifically tractors, generators, boats, etc. I typically mark up the last service on many components (oil filters, air filters, radiator, etc.) on my equipment with a Sharpie. Personally, I find it very handy because during use, I can quickly see the last time the unit was serviced relative to engine hours.

Pioneer 700 transmission slip

I purchased a 2015 Pioneer 700 last year and after about 1000km of use I noticed that the transmission was missing when it was cold. It is progressively getting worse. I live in Canada so the winter time warm up is quite a waiting session. I heard that this is a common problem with Honda xmissions but have not clear information on the cause and solution to the problem. Can anybody help?

Bigger tires on ’02 Kodiak 400?

Looking to buy better tires for the quad as the stockers aren’t quite cutting it. Will I have any issues (i.e., significant power loss, rubbing, etc?) with 26" tires (if I find a cheaper set on Kijiji).

Any tire recommendations? Not looking for something really aggressive like Zilla’s, but they have to be better than the stockers for some of the muskeg we have around here.

Cheers!
