Hello! I Cameron, im from Indiana, and my dad just bought me a 1987 Honda TRX 250X for doing well in college. Its a one owner but its never been maintained and never been regularly serviced. The oil is about as black as a cat on Halloween and the left front brake pad was nonexistent. However, it runs good, and only dropped about 25 psi in the cylinder. After tearing the plastic off and looking at it without disassembling the engine itself, my dad and i decided to get all new brakes, spindles, fuel line, air and oil filter and do the whole service and regular maintenance on it. After doing some reading online, i was wondering, exactly how good is the TRX’s? My dad rides all the time at my uncles farm, but im fairly new to riding and i was wondering what some of the quirks there was to them.

Hello, I want to start with a warning that I am completely new to the world of atv and no absolutely nothing about them so at the risk of sounding special here it goes…….
So I just bought a used 2000 Sportsman 400 from a private sale, When he delivered it to my house he stated that if it didn’t go into gear to turn the idle down as he turned it up because it is winter and cold. When I bought it he drove it right into my garage, So yesterday I started it (5 days after I bought it) and it started right up, I put it into gear and pulled it out of my garage, I then parked it for a minute then put it in reverse to put it back into my garage, it seemed like it didn’t want to go into reverse because it seemed to be rev’d high. once in reverse it kind of drove itself backwards without any accelerator very very slowly. Now it is stuck in reverse and it will not go into neutral or drive. I am unable to find the idle screw to adjust it as I don’t know what I am looking at, I did many searches online but have had no luck. Does this sound like a problem that would occur from a high idle or would it be stuck in reverse for another reason? and does anyone have any links with a video or a pic showing what the idle screw looks like and is located? Thanks everyone

I installed an LRD header and slip on and there is a leak at the headpipe. Like a dummy I installed with no gaskets. I did not see any when I pulled the header off and was in a rush to get it on. Sooo, I have to pull off the header and I’m guessing remove the old gaskets before putting on the new ones. Do they just sit inside the exhaust port? Will they be a PIA to get out? How do you put the new ones in? Stick them in the motor or over the header, etc?
