Last year when I was in the market for a new ATV I shopped around. I had sort of settled on a 500cc atv. Maybe bigger. After stops at several dealers I walk into our Honda dealer and he asks me a simple question. What are you going to use it for? I responded that I need it to get me to my tree stand, some work on the hunting property, and snow plowing a driveway or two. The salesman responded a Rancher will do all of that and more. I went home with a Rancher.
I had buyers remorse for a couple days. I was worried I didn’t get a big enough machine. Then we got our first snowstorm last year. It handled the six inches of snow like butter. One year later and after plowing two driveways with 10" of snow in them, I can say the a Rancher was a great decision for me.

Im having difficulty with my 2008 TRX420TE ES (electric shift) 2wd.
To start with, the bike would have NO response when the key was turned on. After fiddling with the bike I bypassed the kill switch by soldering the 2 wires together and now the backlight on instrument panel will come on but there is no writing that comes up. Its just an orange screen with nothing on it. The bike will not crank, shift, or anything but the light is on. I’ve checked the connections on everything but cant seem to figure out what may be wrong or how to check any possible problems. Thanks ahead for any help you may be able to offer!!!
So my little 2006 TM (NTM) did not have the cooling fan option. After flushing and changing all fluids, I decided that I’ll add one into the equation.
So here is the question …
From the schematics, it looks like the TM wiring harness may have the fan connectors (it was an option). If so – I haven’t pulled the plastics yet for inspection – would the fan be plug n play? I was thinking that I’d put it on a manual switch, but it would be a plus if it was already controlled.
i pulled my dipstick on the side by oil filter, wiped it to check oil level . oil level good, but smelled my fingers and it smells alittle like gasoline?? is that a big concern or pretty normal ?
i recently aquired an 06 trx350 rancher. i ordered oil oil filter change kit. its a manual shift. does this engine take transmission fluid or does the oil serve both trans and crankcase ?

Looking at finally doing my first tire/wheel upgrade on my 2014 SRA Rancher. Leaning towards 27-9-12, 27-11-12 Zillas on ITP 316 wheels. Not wanting to go too big where I will need a GR.
Quad is mainly used for hunting, food plot work, and a little trail….zero on road.
Whats your opinion/experience? Will this be too much tire for a stock quad?
