Ok all I could get were 130mm so I have to slide the controls over. Will that mess up any of the controls?

Just got an atv< looking for someone to ride with! any help?

Just bought an atv, but yet to find anyone to ride with! Any help?

Some bad guys stole around $1400 from my shop yesterday afternoon. This is how they did it. Bad guy #1 stays on the cell phone while asking me questions on his mother’s behalf. He is really on the phone with bad guy #2 who steals while I’m distracted. Bad guy #2 was here last week two times doing the same crazy thing but did not succeed. He was bad guy #1 the first two times. Really folks ….I thought it was failed armed robbery attempt. I would have ran him off last week for acting crazy but I was afraid of being called a while racist.

Hi guys Im new to this group but I am a member of other forums and always get great advice from them. I hope to have the same luck here as well.

Let me start with I have a 08 700 grizzly. I got it from a guy who had replaced the top end but still needed some electrical finished up. I have finished all that and the bike now runs.

I have 2 questions

1st- on my throttle body I have 2 hoses 1 goes to the motor right behind the input from water pump but the other one I can not find a mounting location for it.

2nd- bike revs up but will not move in 2wd. I put it in 4wd and it moves slowly. What can cause this. THe rear drive shaft turns as the bike moves but only in 4wd. please help

Hey guys. I noticed today that the 2017 Rancher 420 is now listed on Honda’s website, and they chose to lessen the number of model configurations available. I don’t blame them, you could really diversify your Rancher through 2016. But, I’m disappointed they’ve eliminated the VERY MODEL I am saving up to buy, which is the Rancher 420 4×4 manual trans with power steering. No longer available for 2017. Which means I need to increase my saving and grab a 2016 before they’re all gone.

one of my many jobs is at a +50 horse equestrian center. my good friends own it and don’t have ton of "farm" experience so I’ve been helping them as much as possible (the lady rides here too so it gets us both together a bit more).

I was told we needed something to drag the pastures with, it had to be low budget and easy to use.

old gate/chainlink fence from the scrap pile
few old tires
$50 worth of hardware/chain and… voila!

I threw some cinder blocks/dump truck tires on the chain link as added weight and now this thing does great at spreading the piles of "fertilizer" and the bolted tires tear the grass up just enough to promote a little growth and not destroy it. when im dragging it to the area being done I "fold" it up. what ya think?

So my neighbor has ridden with us a couple of times lately, and said that if I could find him a cheap bike he’d be interested in buying one.

This was in my best interest as well as on the last ride he almost sank one of my rigs, and later rolled it over. He’s one or those "hard on equipment" types.

So yesterday I see a 350 Rancher close by with a parts bike for $600. I ask the seller the usual title/ ES or FM/ etc questions and send the link to my neighbor.

He comes home with these two, a 2000 ES 4wd, and a 2002 ES 4wd….for $300. The complete rig would actually turn over and fire off with starter fluid.

Sooo, these are both ES bikes, and he didn’t want an ES because they suck, but at that price I told him I could convert it to a footshift (engine needs to be gone through anyhow).

Plan is to pull motor, take it down all the way and clean it out, replace timing chain and gaskets, check clutches, and redo the top end. While I have it all apart I want to convert it to footshift.

Is it as simple as replacing the gearshift spindle and adding a shifter, and pulling the reduction gears out of the front under the shift motor?

Does the speedometer and gear display still work ok? (his is broken, but if they’ll work with it as a footshift he’ll probably replace it)

Needs brake work, front bearings, but for the price I think he did well. Spare bike has complete motor and both diffs.

Check out the sweet ignition switch. Before anyone freaks out, both bikes actually had titles.

I recently got a used 2002 Polaris Trail Boss 325 and have loved riding it. However, every time I go down a hill (yes I do go front down in forward gear)
without applying the gas, I hear a weird low screeching sound (like fingernails on a chalkboard, but lower). I am worried that it is affecting the machine, but I am not sure. Can anyone help me?
