Have a 2004 trx 250ex and 2005 recon both Hondas. Have issues. Willing to trade both

2004 trx 250ex no paperwork and 2005 recon with paperwork. Willing to sell or trade them both for a running atv. The trx needs a new tire it’s flat and won’t hold air. Also has running issue. Idles very high after warming up and will run away if in 1st. Other than that it is fine. Nothing seems to be bent. But very hard to start. Has a trailtech temp gauge mounted to the header. The recon runs great but has a bent front end from a few crashes. Also tires are very worn. Need new rims or to be resealed.Also the wiring harness needs to be replaced. It starts perfect and charges but the thing that hooks to the battery is broken and held on by the screw only. The atv for trade doesn’t have to be registered as I only ride it in the yard.I’m not putting a price on these just give me an offer and I’ll tell you if it’s okay. I don’t expect a lot for them. I’ll have photos of them tomorrow. Email me at mattquenette@gmail.com I’ll leave my cell number tomorrow too. I’m in Warwick Massachusetts about 40 miles from Springfield. I don’t have a trailer so you would have to pick them up.

Rubicon 500 problems

rubicon problems
I have a 2004 Honda Rubicon. I have read through tons of threads but mostly no help. This 4wheeler has been giving issue for 10 years. It would constantly go into limp mode. I would reset it. And go on. Over the years I have changed 3 angle sensors. Did this because of the code given. No help and yes I did preload. The symptoms are now that it often does not reset. Sometimes gets stuck in one gear and you stay there until it wants to change. But then…. it might do perfect for days, trans changing perfectly. Those times are why it has been in use for ten years. But it will go into limp mode in some of the worst places. I removed the headlight, speedometer unit above the handlebars about 2 years ago due to a roll over smashing it. It being removed changed nothing. It now has no way to read codes. They were never any help before anyway. And it has worked perfectly for weeks at a time without it so I know the comments I will get regarding this, but I don’t plan on replacing it. The headlight conflicted with my basket anyway. So, of all the post talking about these problems, has anyone ever posted the correction needed? I don’t know about the automatic. Have not tried it in years?

And….. Now the 4 wheel drive no longer works. Simple or big deal

2016 Polaris Sportsman 1000 Touring Oil Choices

Hello Everyone, looking at getting a jump on gathering supplies for maintenance on my ride. Polaris original fluids are available in my area but I have been pretty loyal to Mobile 1 full Syn products for years. Any suggestions on what to use. I live in Colorado and the ATV will be used year round since im ordering a track kit for it before winter. By the way it only has 5 hours on the engine, I see some people say wait till the 25 hour mark to change fluids and others say 10-15 hours, what are your thoughts and suggestions?:thanks:
