2000 Foreman 450s question

Just picked up a 2000 foreman. Hasn’t ran since at least 2012. I plan to get it fixed up and keep around the farm.

I noticed that when I pull the pull rope the swingarm boot pulses with engine. I assume the crankcase pressure is getting into the boot.

Can I replace the output shaft seal from outside?

Honda TRX300W information and questions… newbie!

Good afternoon!

I recently acquired my first four wheeler. It’s a 1998 TRX300W. It needs some work, and I am having trouble locating the correct parts.

I have noticed that there are many different suffixes when it comes to these wheelers, and I want to make sure I am getting the right parts (which I imagine means identifying the right suffix or model).

I literally cannot find anything on the TRX300 "W". I believe this wheeler is 2 wheel drive with an automatic clutch.

Also, its going to need front and rear brakes, a batt, and some misc tune up parts. I am not familar if OEM or aftermarket is better. Any assistance on where to purchase parts and what brand? Ebay actually seems to have some good prices.

Thanks!

Steering stem bearing

This is my first post on here. I have been reading the forum getting information and I can not find an answer to this. I picked up a 1997 TRX300 2×4 for $100. It had a broken rear axle. Tore it apart, replaced the axle, seals and bearings with help from the site.

The bearing at the end of the steering shaft is gone. I can find the bearing online, but I was trying to get one locally. The local napa can order me one, but I was trying to get the bearing dimensions and see if they had one on hand. My issue is I cannot find the dimensions anywhere. And the napa couldn’t find the dimensions either.

Thanks for the help.

Best tires for TRX 90

I just spent $700 on a 2002 TRX 90 for the grand-kids. It runs good, but one of the front tires leaks and has a plug in the side wall. One of the rear tires is also leaking, so I’m thinking I should just replace them all.

It looks like I can get a full set of either the Maxxis M953/M954 or Carlisle Trail Wolfs in the stock sizes for a little over $200. Any recommendation?

major motor questions

hello i have a 2001 400ex and it was running very hot in the woods one day and it just shut off and i found out the spark plug blew out of the head and i took it all apart getting ready for a rebuild (before i saw the spark plug dont ask me how i didnt see that first) (but im happy i did tear it down) and i saw that the entire inside of my head after the carb boot intake side of my motor was white except for the intake valves but the exhaust valves were white and so is the inside of my header pipe also so was my spark plug ( does that mean its running lean if so what exactly is lean too much fuel or not enough) and i think my oil wasnt circulating how do i find out if my oil pump is bad and i took out the oil drain bolt for the case and no oil came out but it did come out of the bottom hose going into the case. I put a new filter in it and it was filled with oil but its a car filter so it got blocked up i think but its a k&n 113 thats what was in my quad before but it says atv me new filter does not
