Picked up this beat CraigsList special 2006 450R on the cheap earlier this week. I went to look at it knowing it threw the chain and cracked the left side case so it was leaking oil all over. When I got there it mysteriously wouldn’t start even though it "ran fine" in the ad. I thought that’s my kind of beater quad and loaded her up.
Here’s some pics
The plan is to freshen up the motor. I also see the rear axle bearings are shot. Luckily the plastics are scuffed but not cracked.
I currently own a Kawasaki 450 and had a Yamaha 450 years ago but this is my first Honda 450.
Is there a known problem with the outlander 800 rear end? My rear diff has gone out twice so far this year. Went out earlier this year got it back and didn’t even have 10 hours on it before it was going out again. They said the tolerance is off which is why it’s going out. So now I’m considering trading for a 850 XMR. What do you guys think about trading for the XMR? Good move?
Hey Guys I am new to this forum. I have a 2003 Honda Rincon 650 4×4. When me and my son go riding I have noticed after we have been riding for a while and try to pull a long hill it will struggle to pull the hill. However when he gets off the back it will not have a problem. I’m not real sure what the problem could be but would like to get some input before I take it to the shop and spend a lot of money on it.
Hey everyone I need some help. I bought a Honda fourtrax 300 4×4 recently that was sittin for 3 or 4 years and is in some bad shape. When I turn the key the neutral light comes on but nothing happens when I press the start button. I’ve tried tracing wires and I’m getting power all the way up to the wires that connect to the button but I can’t seem to figure out what’s wrong. I’ve tried tappin the starter solenoid and still nothing I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks in advance
Nobody can confirm that fox shocks fit on an outlander l model. Can-am doesn’t list the l model as fitting with the $580 dollar fox shocks. I have a 2015 outlander l 500 max and they fit. Good news. I risked it and it is a direct easy fit. I had a super atv lift and removed it because the shocks lifted my machine another 2 inches because of spring. I took like an inch off the preload they came with. The rear lift bracket hit a little bit the stock mounts are fine. I can actually monster truck over obstacles now. I wish someone confirmed the fit sooner. A must upgrade for outlander l. I found myself bottoming out a ton in New Hampshire. I will confirm performance after next long ride. It resulted in about an inch of lift over stock I would say. Anyone want to buy my stock shocks?

I am still running factory tires on a 2007 sportsman 700 and 2007 sportsman 500. It is time to replace them and i’m totally lost. We ride mostly rocky terrain and i looked at the Maxxis bighorns but they are gonna rub. I have been reading about spacers, offset wheels flipping tie rods. Would my best bet be the BHS in 26 or move down to the 25s? And if i bought the Delta steel wheels which offset would i need?
I spoke with Maier today and he indicated that they just wrapped up first production on a new product. New PP plastics for 86-69 Foretrax and Foreman with integrated flares. Won’t be cheap…but will be brand new.
If I can get this machine running the way I envision, then I may spring for the new plastics from Maier.
I am looking all over the place for a new Polaris HighLifter 850 and cannot find one. Does anyone have any idea bout any dealers in New York State that may have a 16 HL 850 in stock? Thanks guys!
