2001 honda rancher 4×4 FM1 standard shift, the bike is in good shape, no broken plastic, tires are original but still going strong, but at the same time it is 16 years old and I have used it for many years for trail riding and or house work in the yard.

The Good: Oil changes maintained every year, usually in the fall and then in the spring after plowing. The carburetor have been replaced about 6 months ago along with a new choke cable.

Bad: During the summer riding month, it seemed that it sprang a leak some where once, and I was never to find it again on the left side of the crank case dripping from the fuel on/off/reserve area, didn’t leak a ton, but I was on the trail and didn’t notice right away, but nothing on me at all. I have looked for an answer, ridding it since, no noises, problems and oil levels seem ok in the bike motor itself. The other issue is the neutral switch seems to be broken or gone out, I don’t think its the common gear drum problem falling off on the one side as it has been like this for 10 years or so, with no issue.

I am looking for $1400 bucks or a reasonable offer as the bike runs and drives with no hesitation and in good shape, send me a PM if interested and I can send pics to an email address as well!

what do i do

Hi there,

New to the forum and never used a forum before.
I’m needing a front axle for a ’98 model and it is the one that is different from the ’99. Anybody know when you can get an aftermarket complete axle?

Thanks

I have a 2002 Honda rubicon 500 and putting in a big bore kit. Wondering how I should jet the carb. Elevation is 1000. The rest of the bike is stock.
Thank You

Hello,

I have bought a diagnostic tool from aliexpress and would like to test it with my grizzly 700. But cannot find the right connector/socket…does anyone knows where it is located?

Hello Everyone 🙂

I am new here. And glad to join this community.

Hey guys. I am new to this forum. Looking to plan an atv trip around the Kearney, Ontario area and just looking for any suggestions anyone might have. I am planning this trip with my wife and I and another couple. I am the only experienced rider so i was thinking maybe one day in the bush and the next day on rail trail maybe? Anyone been on the rail trail up that way? And if so what are they like?
Thanks

Hey folks. I just picked up an ’86 250 in pretty good shape. Looks like it needs some work on the steering shaft and kingpins to tighten up the front end, but otherwise, mechanically, very nice. Also the body is really nice (pics to come).

I’d like to replace the tires on it for two reasons:
1 – the fronts are a little worn and have several sidewall cuts
2 – the rears are quite worn and a little more traction would be nice.

I love the round bouncy tires, especially on a machine like this with so little suspension, BUT, I’d sure like some traction too.

For those of you with these machines and experience with different tires, what do you think of:

Option 1
Replace all the tires with mud lites. Front 23×8-10 and rear 25×12-9.
Stock size in front is a 21×7-10, 2 ply tire.
Stock size in rear is a 25×12-9, 2 ply tire….. balloons. Nice cushy/bouncy ride.
This option gives good traction, good cornering, more clearance in the front and rear, and likely, a much rougher ride. May rob a bit of power too.

Option 2
Replace the fronts with a set of 23×7-10 tires (489 or Razr or K532) and leave the stock rears.
This option gives a soft ride, good handling, good clearance but not so good for rear traction.

BTW, I only considered 22 or 23" tall front tires as I don’t believe the clearance exists on the front for anything bigger. At full turn, the tire would rub against the rubber boot covering the front swing arm bearings.

I did also consider other fronts like the Kenda K284 in 22×8.

I have considered trying the rear tires from my foreman or big red but both are 26", 6 ply tires…. heavy and hard, but awesome traction

Any opinions on this topic on this forum?!

Thanks

I am thinking about relocating to Austin and wondering if there are good places to ride in that area.
