So I bought a bundle deal the other day from a guy and the 300 was basically in a box. Had a good motor and frame just had to put it all together. Got a few questions. One it has drum brakes up front. And the front right side locks up when rolling. Any reason as to why? And the second biggest question. I put the motor on the frame hooked up the harness. Had to purchase a new CDI and ICM arced the solenoid(have no key switch yet) and don’t have any spark. The coil is good I tested it on another quad. The kill switch is in the off position, any body know anything to check??? Thank you so much in advance

So my boy’s quad cracked the trans case where the output shaft that drives the primary gear on the chain looks to have separated. It allows the gears to jump over each other in the case as it opens up. It sounded like the chain was skipping gears.
I am wondering if anyone on here has pulled the engine to make a repair like this and if it is cost effective to spend the money to buy the casing and maybe some gears inside. I am guessing the bearing failed in the end of the casing or a metal part failed in the trans allowing it pass between the gears cracking the case.
I purchased a DVD service manual to get started but thought I would ask for some help first. If you have some insight on the cost of this repair before I take I would appreciate it. I found a new 2015 for 3K and wondered if I would just be better off going that route.

Thanks, Wally

So I put my 4 new mud lite xtr tires on my 450 HO F 26x9x12 R 26x11x12… No problem fitting with the 4+3 off set on the front tires….moved up two sizes from the 24’s… Not a real noticeable loss of low end power, but the proper use of hi and low range make a Hugh difference…first impression excellent tire, great in the mud, sticks like glue on rock at a slow crawl. The one thing I don’t like is the dodgey action you start getting at about 40mph. The tires are set @ 9psi never messed withe tire pressure yet?? Maybe that will help?? Gonna go on another ride before I decide in the clutch kit or not?? I also lost 150 – 200 rpm @ the top end… final thought for now… A dam good tire

Hello All!

Thanks to all the info I got of this forum I pulled the trigger on a left over 14 700 LE last summer. But work got in the way and I didn’t get out on it much until this summer.

I love the grizzly!

I have about 220 miles on it so far and I’m very happy with it. I’ve owned several Sportsmans and two brutes.

I do have one minor gripe about the stock a-arm guards. They collect a ton of mud and trail debris. I’m super anal about washing the quad after I ride and trying to clean them out is giving me fits! My other machines had stock protectors that didn’t wrap around the a-arm.

Is there a mod I can do or do I have to suck it up and deal with it?

:gcrules:

1986 Honda try 125 just ordered a moose carb rebuild kit and stumped on the main jet, new one looks a lot different from old one why or wrong one?

Hello all, just wanted to say hi and introduce myself…. Hi I’m Brian 😉 lol

so i bought my wife a 4×4 Honda foremen last year and i drove my old beater blaster. Well this year i wanted something to keep up with her when we ride the trails at our cabin so i bought a 570 a few days ago. should be picking it up from the dealer Friday. I’m excited and cant wait to see how it does.

any advice, opinions or just tips in general would be greatly appreciated. I’ve read some horror stories about these quads and some super stories about them so I’ll just assume its a "what you make of it" kind of quad.

Also any mods or improvements, i would love to hear them. I’m skimming through the forum today to see what all i can read about it. i did read that the front springs are quite mushy and some shims would be a good upgrade…???

thanks
brian

On a later model TRX300, what shocks will swap over and give a little better spring rate and higher ride height?

I’ve searched and read everything from Warrior front shocks to Rancher front shocks to 512s to you name it..what works best?

I was going to find some front and rear shocks from a Rancher (supposed to be roughly 1" longer, if what I read is correct?).

I see all kinds of shocks available new- Progressive 512s, ‘Bronco’, and a whole slew of chineeeeeze stuff.

What should I look for? Rancher take offs? 512s worth the money? Are the Bronco brand shocks any good?

Just put a new plug in then had to take it out to rotate the engine to measure valve clearance, which has got me wondering about the crush washers on spark plugs. Do you have to get a new crush washer to re-insert the same plug? What’s the torque procedure for a plug in an ATV engine, snug plus a quarter turn?
