Just picked up a 2010 Rancher 420 TRX420FM. Other than the usual trail rash, only issues I found are it needs a bumper cover, tires, and a CV axle.
I know the bumper cover can be had cheap from eBay, and I’m thinking about adding a moose front bumper to protect the front end a little better.
The tires have enough tread to get me through the next few hunting seasons, but they are 26" mud lites and I don’t like the way that they ride. I have a line on a set of OE takeoffs, or will get Carlisle AT489 in stockish size mounted on the aftermarket12x7 wheels.
The real question is the CV axle. I’ve seen them on eBay for ~$70. Are these any good? Will the hold up fine on a stock 420? We mostly use them in the woods for hunting, dad has a stock 09 Foreman 500 that he rarely even has to use 4wd on.

have a 90 2 stroke , the starter had a loss connection where the hot wire connected inside the starter, tore it down, fixed the issue, put the starter back together now seems to be spinning opposite direction. Is it possible to reverse the polarity in one somehow?
I have a Honda TRX350 from back in 03. It started steering really hard so I figured I need to replace the ball joints and the steering stem bearings.
I am really at whit’s end with parts not sliding in like I would like them to. The bearings only go half way in and then stop at the circle ring groove and the ball joints…not even a quarter inch.
OEM replacements on the Ball joints and aftermarket bearings.
I have watched the youtube videos and I just don’t get it. Ended up buggering up one of the ball joints and just quit right there.
New to this forum. Thanks for allowing me to join. Bought a ’86 350X that was smoking a little. Took apart and put in new valve seals. The bike was set up with a 250 carb. Started it, which was a total PITA. Bike ran with no problem other than hard to crank (compression) and the butterfly wanting to stay closed and no smoke. I have since gotten a 350 carb..don’t know why but much easier to crank. It started smoking out the exhaust with the 350 carb and started noticing some oil dripping out of the slip joint on the exhaust. I find it hard to believe it wouldn’t smoke with one and smoke with a different carb. I think its coinincidental. Not trying to chase ghosts. What would make it drip oil out of the slip joint on exhaust? Starts right up and idles. Thanks for any help I can get
hello, we have our first oil change/ tune up coming in the near future. i have always done my own maintenance on my toys and cars/trucks. but here is my question, on my atv 2014 rancher with eps in the manual it says to replace all o-rinds when changing the oil filter. is this true or is it hondas way to make more money? also as far as the valves go what tools do i need ? does it need a tool? on my suzuki katana (which i have done ever since it was new in 2005) it calls for a tool but you can do with out it. i admit it is easier with it. and do both machines use the same tool and where do i find them. thanks
