400ex big bore or 10:1?

Hey guys, my quad is going to need rings so im going to freshen up the whole top end. I was thinking of a 10:1 Wiseco piston or maybe a 416 big bore? I’m going to see if i need any boring or if i can get away with honing it my self (Fingers crossed), What do you guys think would be better? I ride a-lot of trails and sand pits i want something reliable. Give me your opinion.

thanks, Nick

04 400ex no clutch return pressure

This is my first non 4×4 bike…actually it’s my first honda. I’ve ridden can am mostly and came across a good deal on a 400ex. I’ve been riding it a good little bit over the past month with no issues at all.

Today, I washed the bike off, and afterwards I hopped on to put it up for the night and had zero clutch return pressure. Adjusting the cable has makes no change. I’m sure it’s in the cover, but I’m unsure what actually applies the pressure?

Any help would be appreciated

Oil temp light/cooling fan on 87 TRX350

Hey guys, I did some searching on here but couldn’t find the exact answer I was looking for…….on my 87 TRX 350, the oil temp light will stay on for minutes at a time right after it’s started up..obviously the temp is not that hot yet.

Also, sometimes when I turn the key on and haven’t started the engine yet, the fan will start running by itself. I’m thinking either the temp sensor or fan control unit is faulty?

Lastly, is the fan supposed to turn clockwise or counterclockwise? TIA

1986 Honda TRX250 CDI

Hello,
Wondering if anyone has an idea if a CDI box from a 1986 250R will work in a Fourtrax 250. I ordered the wrong part #, and will return it for the correct part # if it doesn’t work.

Thanks!!

87 trx350 wiring issues

I’m looking to repair, and properly repair all of the hacked harness on my 350.

For starters, the fan was hard wired. I know this is something people have done to their own, but I really want to restore it to factory settings so it doesn’t stay on all the time.

Where in the harness is the factory relay? I should be able to find the wires they cut up front to reconnect the fan to.

2nd, the fuel pump. They hard wired this to a switch as well. Looking at my relay it looks like the potting has cracked and it probably failed. If the relay has failed I will replace it, but I want to reconnect it to the harness and I have not seen where the wires are.

Up front by the right side of the machine they have 2 wires cut and it looks like they jumpered them to a relay or something under the front air intake tubing.

I really hate it when people chop up a harness just because they cant fix stuff properly. but it is what it is. I just want to repair it so it is more reliable.

2004 250EX carb question

Hey guys we love this little machine, my 9 year old tears it up! The other day it was running fine then all of a sudden it just started leaking gas every where. There is a hose that tore on the left side that you can tell was connected to something, I just can’t tell where. I looked in the online manual and it looks like it connects to ye tank but not to the pet cock valve, that is hooked up. It looks like the air vent hose, but in the diagram and the bottom of the hose you can tell it was connected to something.

I’ll try to post a pic later.

TRX200 wiring diagram: Needed

Hi guys, new member here. I’ve had my 84′ TRX200 since new, and just resurrected it after sitting for over 20 years. I’m having an issue with wiring and could use a good wiring diagram. I have a new battery in it, and it will start with the electric start button no prob, and runs just fine, however the lights don’t work, and the neutral and reverse lights don’t work by the ignition key. I’ve checked fuses and they are good, if checked all the connections i could see and they appear good including the switch down by the reverse lever. The neutral safety still works too. unsure where to checck next. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
