Hi from a newbie

Hi. I Just joined up. I have an old 1996 honda forman 400 and recently bought a newer (2006) Honda (450ish I think). looking around the machine it is not obvious which model it is. Can I tell from the VIC or VIN number on the registration?
VIC PGJ951 or
VIN 1HFTE265964503997
I am leading up to asking for help in repairing or putting back together a part of the frame/suspension that fell apart on me yesterday. I want to have the correct make and model information first.
Thanks
Stormin

TRX 650FA 2005 Bush

Hello,
I am looking for the reference of a bush, which is not represented on the Honda OEM pieces.
My quad is a Rincon TRX650FA 2005.
My dealer in France said she did not detail.
there are 2 bush mounted on the rear hub above, they resemble the n° 23 and they receive the axis n°16.
I found complete kits repair rear triangles in which they are provided, but I already bought all the parts at Honda, and I miss this piece .
Is it possible to find this item at Honda? if so, do you know the reference?

Sportsman 500 starting prob

Hey guys, I was riding my 2001 sportsman 500 the other day and all of a sudden it made a clicking noise and then stopped. When I tried to start it back up, all it does is make a mechanical clicking noise coming from the crank case. So I opened the case and tried replacing the starter bendex thinking that my old one wasn’t engaging and that wasn’t it, the new Bendex still won’t engage the flywheel. Any help?

2014 Sportsman 400HO hard start

Since the weather has started cooling off I have been having trouble starting my girlfriends 400HO. It does not matter what position the choke is in it is very hard to start. Also after running for a few hours it still does not want to start or stay ideling. Before the temps started to drop it would idle steady around 1200 rpm.

Has anyone ever ran into this or could someone direct me on what to look for? The quad has around 2600 miles and 300 hours on it.

Hello…

Hi, I am not new to quads, as I owned a 2007 CF Moto Moose as my first quad.. It was a hard driven machine but worked well for the dollars I had into it, I had it for about 3 years.. Sold it along with other toys to buy a plane…
Now I missed having a quad so I just purchased a 2016 Outlander Max 450 L with DPS. So far I have put about 300+ kms on it and have loved every moment riding, some as a passenger.
Taking it back hunting in November. I’m thinking that with the size of my quad, that I will be the one bringing out the deer on the back rack, second seat off… As there are no trails near my home, I bought a nice enclosed trailer to haul/store it in.. From what I hear from the first message I read, I am almost due for my first engine oil change.. The Owners Manual is vague in that line of maintenance. I live near Belleville Ontario so if any of you live near, I’m looking for riding companions to run some or the rail-beds, hydro lines and local trails. I don’t mind trailering a bit to get to a nice place to ride.
Hope to hear from someone soon…

2003 Grizzly Shift Rod Adjustment Question

I would like to find out the correct length or method to set the shift adjustment rod. The repair manual stated to adjust its length for smooth shifting. There has to be more to it than that. I believe my quad is not fully engaging into the various gears which is causing clicking noises under low speed deceleration (engine braking), as well more noise and a sudden loss of power to all wheels while on the trail. The issue seams to be more prevalent when under loads like climbing hills and maneuvering thru rocky terrain. I will be inspecting the clutch system this weekend to rule out issues there. Any advise??
