newbie with my first bike!
new guy! 2009 rincon 680f
Newbie with a 87 trx350
Just picked it up Sunday night. Gave $800 for it and it does need some repairs. And I hope to get some items some backyard mechanic did instead of fixing the issue in the first place.
I’ll have to get pictures tomorrow when I go to work on it some.
-Definitely have a carb issue.
-choke lever does not move, don’t know if it is cable or something stuck in the carb
-Needs from wheel bearings.
-Left lower steering knuckle is loose.
-pivot arm bushings
-needs a axle shaft boot clamp
-misc bolts
-rear rack
-new battery
-winch controller
-wiring fixed: They wired the fuel pump and cooling fan on a switch.
-stud the tires
I have a few months to get it all done, I got this primarily to drag my gear around for ice fishing.
Newbie from Muskego, WI with ’86 Fourtrax 70
In 2002 I bought an ’86 Fourtrax 70 for my oldest daughter for her 5th birthday. It’s been a great little bike and all the kids have had a blast with it. No real issues other that general maintenance until now. Here’s where I need some help…
Suddenly, it won’t shift into neutral (and therefore won’t start). Rather than bypass the neutral safety switch I’d like to figure out why it won’t shift properly. It shifts into all 4 gears fine but not neutral.
I’m not opposed to pulling the whole thing apart and going through all the systems… it’s probably due! But before I split the case, are there any suggestions on how to get it to shift properly?
Thanks in advance for your help!

hey everyone
New member thats been lurkin for a while.
Been looking at the forum for a while and used a good amount of resources from the site since buying a used 02 TRX 350 4×4 es.
I’ve had a hankering for some time now to go look at some of the 2015 models and am now getting an itchy trigger finger for a Rubi. Been seeing prices around upper 6’s to mid 7’s depending on options.
I was wondering about add ons and the dealer prices vs. going aftermarket and also fit and finish of such goodies. Specifically the underarmor like a-arm guards and what about the skid plate, I run through a ton of thick brush w/ my 02 and see no need for the skid plate on the rancher but is there any reason the irs of the rubi would need it as far as the brush getting caught up in the underside worse than my older unit.
Just looking for suggestions and good knowledge from those w/ more experience than I
Don’t hesitate to shoot any other info my way as I like a bit of opinion to chew on.
Thanks
