I’ve just started installing my Honda heat grips and I see in the manual the accessory harness, anyone have experience with using these. I was going to spice into the power lead but thought this would be a cleaner install.

Expertise would be helpful.

Hi Folks, here’s the story:

This 99 has always had the backfire going downhill. I only take in to the mountains once/twice a year so it really hasn’t bothered me until now.
This year, while I’m sitting in a tree stand, I read a little bit about it and once I get home I decided I’m going to figure this out.

Now the bike did get rained on.

I start her up, drive her off the truck and put her in the garage. No issues.

I pull the seat and right side cover off and go to start her, NADA.

At this point I’m thinking

rain got into something

the 10 month old battery died

dead short

So where do I start?

In 2001 my father bought a 2000 Model, Honda, TRX450 S, Foreman in Grand Forks, ND. Red, with a manual shift, 5 speed tranny.

The machine replaced a wore out, 1993 Yamaha Big Bear.

At the time (when he purchased it), the machine was gently used, but I don’t recall how many hours or miles were on it. My mother confirmed that he paid $3,750 for the machine in 2001.

My father used the ATV (daily) on our family farm in Central, MN from 2001 until the day he passed away in the spring of 2006. From 2006 until now, the machine was maybe started a half dozen times a year and just used to run errands, spray weeds, etc. My mother didn’t feel very comfortable using the machine, so it pretty much just sat around. My dad used the machine much more when he as alive; feeding calves, checking crops, fixing fence, hauling feed, repairing equipment, etc.

I bought a new Polaris Ranger 570 for the farm, and I decided to bring the old Honda back to my house today. My son (15) and I are planning to renovate the old Honda workhorse.

The machine has 6,287 miles and 2,666 hours. Seems odd we only average 2 miles per hour on it. I guess dad just let it idle for quite a bit.

The machine is almost all original equipment. The seat is tore, the tires are awfully smoked. The grips are trashed. The racks/frame are a little rusty, but not too bad. The plastic is very dull and scratchy, but no cracks or tears. The machine starts kinda hard, but once it is running, it really runs good.

Well, I drove about 500 miles today, so a few more details (and photos) tomorrow. I have more questions, but will post them with a few more concerns tomorrow. thanks!

As I drive down the road my fourtrax hesitates when giving gas and almost stalls it gets better as it warms up. I took off the air filter and it runs better but I have not ridden it without the filter because I afraid it will damage or suck in something into the carb. I washed the filter with soap and water and it did not seem to be dirty. Was wondering if someone has has the same issue and found a solution.

i need to replace a stator on a hjonda fourtrax 300and there is a drive line that runs across the front of the cover i need to take off to get to my stator how do i remove this driveline?

i have 3 honda 300s i am trying to make one of the three work the one that has a good frame and motor is a 1993 and it needs a cdi box…will the cdi box off of a 1995 work or did something change. the reason i am asking this is the plug colors are different and when i am on ebay looking for one there are two different ones that say 88-93 and 94-99 is there a difference. also it needs a new stator this is why i havnt just tested it… beacse i have one off a 95

I had mentioned in a few posts that my ’90 350D 4Trax had a ‘dealer installed’ block heater ….. It was removed years ago ….. but, I thought that a few photo’s of it would be of slight interest. It works good.
It was mounted on the lower cases ….

:icon_ rasta: You can plug it into any current bush ….

Anyone ever replace these with something other the oem? Had to take flares off old one fenders and almost all of them are shot.
