I’m buying a 1990 4×4 fourtrax. I was just wondering how do you shift it into 4×4? I’ve owned a bunch of racing quads and sport 4x4s but none like this one. Is it in the shift lever? Like is it a low option or is there a way to have it in 4×4 and still shift normally? Thanks for the been question haha.

Hi all-
I wanted to ask the experts here and see if the VE94 carburetor from a 2001 Rancher 350 will work in place of a VE92 carburetor for a 2001 Foreman 400.
They both are 32mm bore with a 130 main jet and 45 slow jet
The only visible difference I can see is that the Rancher VE94 has the preheater wires and the Foreman VE92A does not.
Found the Rancher 350 carb on my newly acquired foreman 400 project and it will start and run/idle fine-doesn’t rev up as smooth as usual but could just need a good cleaning
Any advice or input appreciated
Thanks

New here seeking wisdom. I have here an 87 trx250 that I have never seen running. It has no spark. Ignition coil is new, cdi is new along with another new cdi on the bench to rule that out. Exciter coil tested within specs at the high side of 200 ohm but the pulse generator tested at 296 ohm and spec is between 330 and 360. Exciter is putting out around 5v dc while cranking. All wires and connections seem good and tight. My question is, with the pulse generator being out of spec cause a no spark issue? Any ideas or thoughts appreciated.

Hello all, Im new so be gentle!
just bought the quad. Prefer the older stuff so didn’t go newer.
Guy drove it around on my viewing it no problem, went up the gears and reverse, (I guess he missed out 1st) but.. got it home and

1. The clutch lever is as stiff as hell. Adjustment at the handlebar doesn’t fix it. It doesn’t get close to the bar and doesn’t really snap back to original position.

2. It wont engage 1st gear, at all. With or without clutch lever use.

3. After it warms up there is a high pitched rattle type sound from top end.

4. It drives as though the brakes are on, there not, I can push it around in neutral.

5. can you get parts easily in the uk, including decals?

I hope I havnt asked too much.
I can do most diy mechanical stuff once instructed where to start. Had motorbikes etc.
This is my first ever quad and was feeling disappointed until I found this site. Any help would be great.
Thanks

Where on God’s green earth can a person find passenger footpegs? They have several different names for them, fender protectors/rear passenger foot pegs/double rider pegs. I can’t find anything for a 2014 Foreman 500. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi All,

Got some questions. I’ve been looking through some of the old threads to see if I could find some answers but no luck.

I just bought a 95 300 fourtrax and the motor is smoking a fair amount. it runs great idles great. seems to have good power, starts right up.

What I have is some kinda crappy replacement exhaust on it. And there is an oil residue in it. It also has a leak in it.

And a supposed top end job a year or so ago.

I’ve talked to some local guys I know they are telling me I probably need the rings replaced and probably valve seals. They attribute the smoking issue to this as a result of an improper exhaust system on the bike not creating proper back pressure. So an exhaust system as well. None of which I mind doing over all the bike is in really good shape.

But I am looking to get as much feed back on the issue as I can before I go dumping money into it.

Also looking for opinion on if I can drive it in the intern until I can put the money together for a proper top end job on it and exhaust.

Cheers

Just picked one up for free from original owner!! Garage kept and it looks very good for its age. Needs a few maintenance items but that’s about it. The original CDI is no good and needs replacing. I figured I’d replace the alarm box as well. I called my local Honda dealer and they told me that the alarm box was discontinued and that a new CDI was $170…:icon_eek: So, does anybody make a decent aftermarket CDI and alarm box? It also needs a spark plug, battery and air filter. If yall know of any places to get these parts I’d appreciate it. I more of a truck guy but, I just couldn’t say no to free four wheeler. Thanks for the help fellers
