I have an older fourtrax 200. I was driving and it seemed like the gears got stuck in place. It seemed like it may have been in 3rrd gear. I could not get it to go to neutral, then we pushed it around and we push started it in gear finally after some time. It started changing gears fine and even back into reverse. Now it will not light up neutral or reverse and will not start without push starting. It seems like it does not recognize its actually in neutral but it is. It will only start by push starting and its not the battery its fairly new. Please any advice appreciated. Thanks!!

next month im buying a 420 es and im worried that it wont have the power I need and need some input on these.i live high in the mountains and need it to go up steep hills.i have a 91 king quad that will go almost straight up and will these machines do it or do I have to get up speed and try to kill myself,lol

Hi everyone. Long-time reader (since 2013), first time poster. I got a ’94 TRX 300FW from my brother for a good price ($0). It was running when he parked it under a shed 3 years ago though it smoked and had multiple fluid leaks. I’ve disassembled it, restored the frame (stripped/primer/paint and added a skid plate) and done the same for other parts (a-arms, etc.). Now I’m focusing on the engine as I begin to put it all back together and I have a few questions:

1. Cylinder wall is scored. I debated about whether to send it to G&H for machining, but ultimately took a chance on a matching cylinder jug/piston bought off Ebay for $65. I didn’t notice it when I bought it, but one of the bolts that holds the timing chain tensioner in place was broken off in the jug. In the process of trying to drill/extract the bolt the extractor broke off. I’ve managed to remove the broken parts but the hole is wallowed out a bit. First question: Do you guys think I can salvage this piston jug by cutting off the threaded part of a bolt, inserting it backwards into the hole with JB Weld, and using a nut to secure the one side?

2. The cam is within tolerances except for one journal (it’s off by 0.006). I’m going to buy a new cam, but I’m no expert on the heads for these things. The rockers don’t seem excessively worn on the contact surface and there’s no play when I try to move them laterally. I won’t know if the valve guides have excessive play until I buy a valve spring compressor and disassemble it (I’ll replace the seals then). My question is, if the cam shaft is worn to the lower limits of its tolerance, is it a good bet the rocker arms/shafts/valves need to be replaced?

3. Last question (for today at least): Two of the seals on the front differential have been leaking oil (drive shaft seal and one cv axle seal), but from inspection/sticking my finger in there to turn them, the cv bearings seem to be OK. The input shaft turns easily with no (or very little) slack and the fluid was clean when I drained it. I thought of disassembling the whole thing to inspect, but Clymer basically said, "Takes special tools- go to the dealer". Has anyone disassembled one of these and how big of a PITA is it to put it all back together?

Sorry this was so long. I can post pictures by next Tuesday or Wednesday if you guys would like. Thanks in advance.

Hey all, I am new at this but my son and I rebuilt the engine on our 92 200d fourtrax. It was a long project but it is now running and all is well. Almost. My shift selector is as follows:
Reverse–all the way down
Neutral—up one
1st——–up two
2nd——-up three
3rd——–up four
4th——–up five

The reverse light comes on in 3rd gear and the neutral light comes on in 4th gear. What did I do wrong? It all works, just an inconvenience and I am considering not taking the cover off again. Any ideas would be appreciated.

my son crashed my fourtrax and bent up the front brush guard which holds up the headlights and goes under the front a bit, if anyone has a nice one let me know…………thanks

I just bought a 93 trx 300 4×4 and it fires right up and runs great but it seems to have a little bit of noise i think it is coming from the timing chain "i think". Is there a adjustment on these or are they automatic? If there is no adjustment is it ok to drive this way?Like i said it is just a small amount of noise.
