what does the stopper ring look like on the inboard side of the front right shaft of a 2002 rancher? it looks like my geared shaft has slipped out about 1" from the front drive unit.

well im going to give Honda some money for a new 420 but now they say they don’t have it in red.they got a good deal on the 2015s and says he only has one left with at,irs and ps.i can get a good deal on a king quad 500 but don’t like the cvt for what I use it for

So replacing the coolant and the service manual says to replace the sealing washer. Problem is, nowhere in this manual is the size of sealing/crush washer I need to use. Is it the M12 (12mm) or a different size? Anyone have any idea? 🙂 Kind of interesting something so simple is missing from the manual.

My wife and I recently picked her up a 2015 DCT fourtrax (rancher). Its a nice improvement over her old 09 AT honda. Now with that being said I find it gutless even with the stock tires. I’m worried once the 26" zillas go on it will be to much in the thick mud. Has anyone here done a SRA gear swap on the new DCT? I’ve priced the gears and the $100 seems well worth it, if it works and depending on the difficulty of install I think it would be well worth it.

So I had my 2015 Rancher serviced for the first time since I had close to the threshold of hours on it (I ride slower and mostly in 4×4, so the hours racked up quicker than the miles).

For the fluid changes, I bought some AMSoil synthetic ATV engine oil and AMSoil synthetic differential fluid to use in it – spent a good bit more than conventional stuff, but wow! What a difference! Not sure if anyone else here uses AMSoil, but I’m a big believer in the stuff and it didn’t disappoint. I’m telling you folks, there’s a noticeable – very noticeable – difference in the smoothness of the shifting now. Not the clanking like before with the default Honda oil (not saying Honda’s fluids are bad, not at all, just that AMSoil is better). Probably didn’t need to change the differential oil in both axles yet, but I did it anyway since the dealer was doing the first service.

The other notable thing that happened at the dealer was how much they loved the wheels and tires I chose for my Rancher. 🙂 They kept asking me how they worked and said they looked totally awesome. Never saw a dealer so worked up over a set of wheels and tires, but I think they were impressed at how great the Mayhems look on a set of matte black STI beadlocks.

The service went well, and I had a couple other things done. For example, I had the 12V accessory socket installed, which, to me, should be standard equipment on a Rancher, but whatever. Inexpensive addition that will give my cell phone and other gadgets power when I need it on long rides. Plus, if I go deer spotting, having that accessory outlet will be required for my lamp.

Today, I installed my Superwinch Terra 35 all by myself. For someone who is not a gear-head, I was shocked I was able to do it by myself. It works perfect, and all the wiring is neatly tucked, secure, and waterproof. I used the KFI mount for the Rancher (fits perfect with zero modifications required), and I’m very impressed at how well it works. On the rear of the Rancher, I added a KFI Tiger Tail tow rope system to my Curt 2" trailer hitch. We’re ready for the tougher trails now baby! :icon_ rocker:

I’ll get some pics of everything and post them up tonight in this thread. Thanks for all your support guys (and gals, if applicable). For my first ATV, this Rancher is everything I wanted and more, and constantly exceeds my expectations. Amazing machine.

Hello, I just installed a warn 3000 vantage winch on my rancher.
I had a question and wanted to know if anyone else ran into this problem.

When I went to test it, I turn the key on, (I don’t start the atv) the "out" button works fine, but when I use the "In" the rancher shuts off (screen goes blank)and the winch doesn’t work. Almost like a short.

I’ve installed 3 of these before and never ran into this, it’s pretty straight forward and just wondering if I’m overlooking something.

I’ve contacted Warn but haven’t heard back yet, I did find this on a google search but I don’t think they apply because its brand new out of the box unless it came broke.

Problem #2
Winch will not operate in the Power “IN” mode.
Cause:
A) The pins inside the remote control plug have been pushed out of position or bent, preventing contact with the corresponding receptacle in the control box.
B) One of the power “IN” solenoids is sticking or is damaged from prolonged use, which has overheated the solenoid.
C) The thermal protective switch is defective, or has tripped because the motor has over heated (old M-10000’s and industrial winches)

Thanks for any help or suggestions
