Thanks,
Had it for 3 months…wondering about others
– Switch wouldn’t work, had to have it cleaned and greased.
– Power steering is being changed under warranty it is no longer working.
– The brake oil reservoir is leaking (on handle bar).
– Had a number of incidents with key not recognized.
– Leak indicator tube has oil in it, was told it was normal by tech now they are changing a rotary seal (or something) because apparently it is not normal to have anything in there, go figure that’s what the manual says.
I don’t ride hard, nor mud. I had to laugh when I was told the switch and key was dirty … no one told the engineers at BRP where these machines used? I also have this ‘womp womp womp womp’ noise when under load which makes me think it is going to fall apart but apparently it’s part of the Can-Am orchestra… anyone else hear the same?
I know these are not huge problems and thankfully I have a decent dealership but is this par for the course?
no brakes
Silly Question, How do I start this thing? 2000 Sportsman 500
Trying to trouble shoot what’s wrong but if I knew the starting sequence that would help.
Make a Honda Fourtrax 300 1988 drive again
My name is Dennis and I purchased a beaten, trashed en abused 1988 Fourtrax 300 2×4. The quad is in really bad shape, but I like a challenge :yeahbaby01:
I live in the Netherlands and I was wondering if there are some people in the Netherlands or in Europe who can help me out with some good parts to make my Fourtrax 300 run good again.
What do I need:
– Right front brake drum with brake cylinders and brake pads
– Handlebar main brake cylinder with lever
– A straight and play free rear axle with hubs
– And some other small parts
There is also a problem with shifting the gears, the shift pedal serrations are gone on the pedal and the axle. Shifting the gears is hard and goes heavy. Will adjustment be the solution for this problem?
It’s a miracle that the engine is starting en running fine. The engine sounds like new. That is why I like to put some time and effort in this quad and make it run and brake good again. It would be nice if someone in the Netherlands or close to the Netherlands can help me out.
Thanks in advance,
Dennis
