Lifetime Honda Fan, New Member
I’ve visited this forum in the past looking for information about some of my projects, and decided to join and contribute, and perhaps find advice on some more in depth projects.
I currently own a 1990 Fourtrax 300FW and a 1986 ATC 250es Big Red.
The Big Red was given to me by my grandfather when I was around 15 (actually he told me if I got it running I could have it), and has been somewhat restored/refurbished. I mostly ride that around the house and to neighbors and such, trying to keep it in decent shape.
I got the Fourtrax in a similar deal, with my father. It was sitting in the corner of the garage just collecting dust (and leaking oil). It has had a hard life of abuse (my uncle trail rode it very hard, then my father used it for plowing), but it is now my trail rig. Ive got 26" Zillas and a front disc brake kit on it, as well as a homemade snorkel, K&N air filter, and tractor supply IH1 muffler. I jetted it up for the extra intake and exhaust flow (the size I ended up with escapes me, but i stayed a bit on the rich side).
My plans for the immediate future are shock upgrades and some sort of less obnoxious exhaust solution for the Fourtrax. The tractor muffler doesn’t sound terrible or cause negative performance effects, but is a bit louder than I would like. I think the need for new shocks on a 26 year old wheeler that has been ridden hard, especially a 300, is rather self explanatory. I’ve already had great success finding ideas and answers about my projects without posting here, and hope to be able to contribute what I can as well.
New Rancher 420 with EPS
I put the winch on myself and it works fine. I also put the basket on the back for deer, gear and tools.
It got a work out a couple of weeks ago and brought back three deer. One night it brought out one deer, three men, three packs, two rifles and one pink crossbow and one small woman through tough mud and water. Tough machine. Did all I asked of it. However it took over two hours to get it clean again. Man, I’m glad I bought the Honda.

Picked up a new ’14 700 last spring, after running 600 and 660’s previous. The 700 is beast, love this machine. Not much for add-ons yet – tires & wheels, and a clutch shim/spring mod. A set of Kimpex tracks will be installed this week.
