Setting up new shoes …..
Easy way to ‘synchronize’ the two adjusters before you slide the drum over the new shoes.
Measure the distance between the adjuster pawl, and the bottom of the new shoe. Adjust both pawl’s the same. Easy to do with a digital read-out caliper.
Make the fine adjustments with the drum installed. Equal amount of clicks on each adjuster pawl will get you there, and insure equal wear on both shoes.
Well I got bored and installed front and rear 300ex shocks on the ’94 2wd. Followed the advice of a fellow member and used 30.-06 shell casings for bushings that worked perfectly. The shocks have an ok ride and also give the frame a 1" lift. Thanks Larry for the 30.-06 bushing idea!!
I recently bought an old 1991 Honda Fourtrax TRX300FW, and it doesn’t have brakes. The foot brake was connected to the rear drum, but didn’t work at all. I opened the rear drum today and it was full of rust, including the break panel. There is no right hand brake lever, and the left brake lever just flaps in the breeze. Looks like everything external to the front break plates have been removed as well, including the hoses.
What advice do you guys have as far as getting some breaks working on this atv (that won’t cost an arm and a leg)?
hi, Im working on a cusom project and Im needing to know if 10inch rims will fit the front of a 07 up trx420 2×4 rancher. any help is appreciated, also If you could just give me the max diameter of the brake dust guard that would help as well thanks again -dan
As the axel spins the rear caliber is moving back forth about 4inches which is much more play then it should have and causing a clunk, how should this be tightened(the nut on the axel was a little loose will that have anything to do with it?) Also since the nut on the axel was loose could dirt of gotten into my carrier bearings?
I am picking up a 2002 Rancher 350 4×4 manual shift from a close friend. He has had the bike since it was new and takes good care of his stuff so I know it is in good shape. We did add a Warn 2wd to 4wd selector years ago, but other than that it is unmolested. Everything works well now, but the shifter is fairly stiff to shift. It does shift though. I would like to do the following upgrades in the future. Please help me with the order as you see fit from your experiences with these bikes. This is my first Honda, but have 2 bayou 220s, a Bayou 300 and a Yamaha Beartracker 250. I will list them in the order I plan to use and why.
1) Install 12" wheels with 25" tires, because I already have them.
2) Install Warn front winch bumper and rear drop basket(and fabricate rear bumper for this), because I have them.
3) High Lifter springs on front and rear, too add carrying capacity.
4) High Lifter 2" lift kit, For clearance.
5) Snorkel,
6) Super ATV front disc brake conversion, because I believe in disc brakes.
7) Super ATV rear disc brake conversion, see above.
Anything else I should plan on? I will also add trail lights, skid plates, and a winch as funds allow. I plan to use the bike for trail riding, ATV camping, hunting, and occasional mudding. I would like to take the family to the Hatfield McCoy trails next year so I would like to retain reliability as much as possible.
Suggestions welcome from those more experienced than I.
Alright so I’m changing the brakes line on my 13 foreman and I’m change the foot brake line. I just replaced the brakes and once doing that I figured out that I need new brakes lines. So anyway on the brake line it’s goes in between this holder and I can’t figure out how to get it out of there Attachment 25756 you can’t just pull it out either. I could cut the line I’m sure and just move it but then I’m stuck with the problem of it getting back in there. Also help needed soon as possible I’m plan on going to ride Saturday and Sunday and I can’t work on it Friday cause I got school then a football game
