Honda recon rear axile squeak

Hey guys its been a while that the axile squeaks. Thought it was the bearings since the seal was sort of messed with, but after the first 5 minutes of riding it stops completely. It only does this in forward not reverse. Any suggestions?

94 3000ex transmisson problem! help!

I was drivin my 94 300ex stock motor piston and everything. It has just been rebuilt maybe 4 hours. I was driving and it made a screetchin noise so i killed the motor and locked the breakes in. When i went to get back on it it acted like it was in gear. The back tires wont move and when you put it in neutral it jumps in gear when you try to start it. It will switch gears but not move. And when you go to first and try to move and release the clutch it tries to move then doesnt and it dies.

2007 680 rincon, no spark, no fuel. Help please!!!

Hey guys I need some help. I have a 2007 680 rincon. I ran it out of gas(oops). When I put fuel in it it would not start. I thought I may have clogged the fuel filter, so I put a new one on, and made sure I was getting fuel to the injector. Now all of the sudden it is not getting fuel, and the spark plug is not firing.

Things I’ve done: new spark plug, new coil, new plug wire. New stator/ckp sensor, checked all the fuses, checked voltage at the 33p connection on the ecm. Cussed a lot , thrown things. I have voltage at the end connection when cranking the motor from the stator, I also have the same voltage at the stator plug. One thing I did think was funny is that I’m reading voltage on both prongs on the weak side of the coil with the key on and not cranking. I ordered a 1/4 stick of dynamite from Mexico just in cas but would prefer to use it on the 4th of July. Please help, any ideas are welcome!!!!

300ex not turning on, no lights???

so… over the weekend we went on our first ride to the brick factory, and after about an hour of riding through there i decide to go up a small hill… right as i hit the apex of the hill my quad started tipping right, and soon enough the whole thing rolled down a small crevice i didn’t see from the bottom. it wasn’t too bad, rolled right on top of me and flipped it right back off (with help from my brother) anyway, no damage except the headlight bracket, headlight plastic, and some brake levers/switches moved around. So after we rolled it back i started it right up no problems, brushed it off like nothing happened, then we went to a new spot and decided to stop, so i shut my quad off… sure enough it didn’t turn back on… at all.. no headlight, no neutral light, no reverse light. i went around and checked everything but all the wiring looked hooked up and good, the fuse was good, the battery was alive, nothing was cut or looked shorted. i am stumped, we ended up just chilling there for a few hours trading off quads and riding for a bit so it wasn’t all bad but we had to tow the thing back through all kinds of terrain. i did try to roll start it behind my friends brute force and it did fire but it wouldn’t stay on for more than 3 seconds. I don’t really know how the rollover could have affected the wiring at all especially since it started right up afterwards but i felt i should mention it. Any help would be appreciated. also one more thing, when i put the new switch set in awhile ago, a part of the connector had to be jumped because the metal pieces inside were gone and the wire was previously jumped, i don’t know which wire it is, but i looked at it and it seemed fine, ill look again tomorrow though.

1997 foreamn 400 front differential

Hello, Im changing the bearings on my my differential. So far I have everything out including the hex lock nut that I bought the tool for. I am wondering is there another retaining ring to get the bearings out or is the Hex nut considered as the retainer ring?

Starting issues

I have a 2003 Honda rincon with some starting issues. If it sits for a day or more it will not start. Turns over good it just won’t fire off. The carb has a primer on it and if I use that it will start just fine. After it has been running it will start fine the rest of the day until it sits for about 8 hours or more. Anyone have a clue what could be causing this?

Thanks

1986 TRX350 oil leak

Hey everyone. Just got a 86 foreman for next to nothing. I didn’t get around to messing with it yet, but the guy out oil in and started it so I could at least hear it runs good. Its pouring oil pretty good out of the crankcase gasket. My question is, do these gaskets just go? Or is there a problem with the crankcase cover? He said it just started leaking one day. Its coming out of the top seam of the cover.

Sorry for the double post, but I couldn’t figure out how to delete my other one.
