The kick starter will not move, do not know if motor is seized? Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions? I just got this ATV from a friend, he had it for a few months never had time to work on it. We really don’t know much of its story except that it has sat for a year or more outside.

I recently joined this group after acquiring, from what seller said, a 1990 Honda Fourtrax. All plastics, lights, battery, tires (60%), shift lever are good. No rips in seat. The vin# is 478TE 1423LA 200989. Supposed to be a TRX 300. Can anyone confirm this from the vin# and possible give a little more info? The bike runs great, but needs new shoes on the back. I am missing the heat shield for the muffler (where can I get one). Would also like to put on larger tires; currently has 25x13x9 on back and 23x8x11 on front.

Thanks, I really enjoy this forum.

I just finished a bunch of work on a 97 fourtrax. new cv axles, new carb, filters, and brakes. After taking it out for the first time, there is an issue with getting power in higher gears. In first, it throttles all the way up. In the rest of the gears, it get’s progressively worse to get any power and does not rev all the way.
I just picked this up and only drove it once before doing the work, but it didn’t appear to have this issue before.

Is there a carb adjustment that would fix this or could it be something like the CDI?

I am re-doing the front end on my 1998 Foreman 400. Can somebody tell me the years that are compatible with mine for front knuckles/brake assembly?

Hi, I know of a 1997 Honda 300 fourtrax. All it needs is brakes. The guy wants $1400. Has 3000km. Is this worth it? Eric

Was out for a run today on my recon. Lately have been noticing I am riding as far forward as possible. I push my butt back toward the rear of the bike when I notice, but seams like my body prefers to ride jammed up againt the gas tank. Great if riding double, waste of space for single rider.

Just wondering if I’m the oddball or if this common?

Question for you guys… I just bought a 2000 Honda Recon ES for $200 and it seems to be stuck in gear. when I turn the key on, the indicator light for 1st gear flashes in a series of three flashes and the starter will not engage. I cannot seem to get if to shift into neutral. This is the push button shift model.

Is there an emergency shift lever to get this thing to shift to neutral?

Please help!

Will the warn 424 work with a 96 honda foreman 400 4×4? I want my dad to have the option to be in 2wd or 4wd. Anyone done? Does it fit?
