Five Years with Starting – Tune-up Assistance

Greetings Honda Owners! Today I was given a 2003 Honda Recon ES TRX250TM which has not been started in five years. The owner was not even sure it will start, but it is now mine, so I plan on getting it running.

I have a little small engine experience, but none of it on ATV. Below are the thoughts I had on the place to begin:

  • Replace the Battery
  • Change the fluids (brake, oil, etc.)
  • Check and possibly replace the brakes

Is there an specific plan that I should follow? Any suggestions on where to begin?

Also, are there any repair manuals to provide assistance?

Thanks,

Chris
