Rolled me Trx400 :(

2002 400ex, a few weeks ago I did slow 1st gear gear roll right on the side when doing donuts, everything checked out fine, now this weeked i let a buddy ride my quad he was doing 2nd gear donuts and went to shift into 3rd when the quad gripped and rolled hard onto its side(rolled over didnt completely flip as far as i know) anyways all I can see are that my pro taper se bars are bent pretty good and an already cracked rear fender broke even more, anything else I should check that is common to break on rolls? Im pretty pissed and the ground was hard.

96 Honda TRX starting problem

Hello all,

I have a ’96 honda trx 300 2wd. When I got the four wheeler the electric start would work but the engine always had a hard time cranking. I replaced the boot for the spark plug and it fixed it. Whenever it would crank though, always had a problem with it idling rough. Took the carb apart and cleaned it and it worked but would still idle rough and I would have to adjust the throttle linkage. Eventually, the electric start quit working and the engine no longer cranks when I use the kick start. Before this though whenever I would ride for a little and the engine got warm it would eventually just turn off and would not crank for awhile until it cooled off. Spark plug has a great spark and I recently replaced the solenoid. Hooked the starter up to the car battery and works fine but the engine will not crank still. When I click the start button (and the engine kill switch is on run) the solenoid clicks but nothing from the starter. Any ideas?

Hard to shift 02 250ex

Hey fellas,
I picked up an 02 250ex for my son. It needed some work the handle bars where bent and brake/reverse leaver was broken and it was missing th air box it has the filter attached directly to the carb and the baffle and internals was removed from the muffler. I checked the oil after I got it home an it was empty or basically empty. Dipped the stick and with the dipstick screwed in you could barley see oil on the bottom of the stick not even on low level. I added the proper oil to top it off about 1/2-2/3 a quart and tried to take it for a ride and it went I in to first fine but trying to get it to second it didn’t want to engage no matter how much pressure I put on the shifter. It goes into reverse fine too but first and reverse does kind of jump when you get it isn’t to gear. When it’s running if I get the rpm’s high it will go into the next gear. But the rpm’s have to be up there to change the gear and even then it’s very hard. When it’s off it will run through the gear’s no prob. I changed the oil completely because somebody told me that dirty oil could be the prob the oil was very black but no metal shavings in it but it didn’t fix anything with the shifting. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please excuse me being a newb. I have ridden a friends 250ex recentley so I know that it’s my machine not my riding.

95 Honda Foreman 400- Running Issues – Misfire

I made the mistake of going through some water and realized I was missing some vent piping off the engine. Water was midway up the engine and stalled out and water made its way into the engine. Flushed the motor oil 3 to 4 times till all water was out. No water made into the intake. Now it will start up but has a constant misfire through all speeds and only runs while throttling it or choked all the way. I have cleaned the carb and replaced the CDI box under the front rack as well as the spark plug. Any ideas at this point before I take it somewhere? Maybe a bad coil or stator ect. Looking for some help on this. Thanks

Need advice on Tires for Trx 250ex and exhaust

Hey guys thanks for the help on the carb! I’m now looking for some new tires for my sons 4 wheeler. It looks like the stock rears are 22x10x9 and the fronts are 22x7x10. For the rears I was thinking

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0068F…BZL&ref=plSrch

Or going down to the 20x11x9 and getting him something a little wider. I’m on a budget for right now so the ambush didn’t look so bad.

I also need to get him so sort of exhaust, the previous owner gutted out the entire stock exhaust and this thing is so loud! So any suggestions would be appreciated.

We mainly trail ride but nothing too serious there are 3 moto tracks really close to us so I want to get riding at the track as well. I have ordered some wheel spacers in the back because this thing is just too narrow.

Thanks Ryan

PLEASE HELP! Speedo Sensor on TRX350 4×4

Hey guys, if anyone has ANY idea where this part mounts on the 86-89 Honda TRX 350s please let me know! I am in the process of installing a a speedo kit (didn’t come with the installation instructions) and cannot figure out where this part is mounted to save my life! Lol. I have the speedo gear and cable already hooked to the crank case which connects to the sensor shown below, and the only place I can see to mount it so far is to the lower engine/frame mount. The speedo cable is only about 1.5 ft long fyi. Any help or insight on this would be greatly appreciated!

87 250x Jetting

Hi everyone new here . Just picked up an 87 250x for a good price . Stock motor as far as I can tell with stock exhaust . Has a foam moose air filter . I started going over the bike the last few days and took the carb apart to give it a good cleaning and check the jets . Runs good now carb was filthy and float was out of spec . Anyway it has a 122 main and a 35 slow jet . I set the air screw at 2 1/2 turns out . Elevation 600 feet…I want to remove the air box cover and was wondering how big of a main jet I should start with ? I think I’ll pick up 125-130 jets…this way I can jet for winter weather too . Will I be good with the 35 slow jet for winter ? I probably won’t ride under 20 degrees outside lol . That’s sled time .

Thanks for any help

Trx 200 won’t start

I have a 1984 Trx 200 that won’t start. I have cleaned the carb and changed the spark plug. It is getting a spark and also gas on the plug but it has a leak between the cylinder head and the carb in the carb insulator from what I can tell. Would this stop it from starting?
