New to the forum, but hopefully someone will be able to help.
Was riding the quad and it just quit. Got it home and started to check it out, good fuel, good spark. Weak compression.
Check valve timing by removing the valve cover, checked good with TDC. Figured rings?? Removed the jug and replaced the rings, no decernable wear on cylinder or anywhere in the jug or valves. Was some carbon build up on the valves but I cleaned them a wire brush easly.
Put everything back togeather, still same problem. Someone I talked to at the dealer stated that the timing chain was loose or wrong timing. OK. well I removed the front of the engine and checked everything, it seemed good. Called someone else and they checked everything, it seems to be in great shape. Turned over by hand and checked the marks and valve timing. Everything was in great shape. Replaced the front of engine and tried to restart. no deal :dry:
Rechecked, timing (with timing light) right on the money. Used either to try to start it, no luck.
Good spark, rebuild the carb, good fuel, checked timing with timing marks and TDC and valves. All check out good.
a squeak came in the front right side of my atv the other day. while checking for the exact area of the squeak I notice my ball joint was worn do figured that had something to do with it.replaced the ball joint and now can not find where the noise is comming from.i can press down on the side and it makes it.i was going to buy all new bushings for the a arm but am wondering if they have to be pressed in or not? also asked the dealer if the shock has bushing and he told me that they don’t sell the shock bushing and that you have to buy the full assembly.will also add that there is no play in the shock bushings.my old honda when the shock bushings were gone you could wiggle the shock in the bushing.
As a former motocross rider im am not fond of the thumb throttle on four wheelers and snowmobiles. I run into problems particularly when making an agressive right hand turn. I cant lean right and put on the gas hard at the same time.
Say what you will about my riding abilities but ibe decided to go with a twist throttle!
My question is: will any dirt bike (adult sized bike that is) twist throttle work? What should i look for?any complications?should be easy right? Thanks for the info!
I have a 2014 Honda Rancher 4×4 with power steering that got crashed into a tree. I replaced all the broken plastics and guards. It looks good as new but I took it out last weekend and I noticed that the handle bars don’t line up with the wheels. Before tearing the whole thing apart I wanted to check in here to get some advice on what I should be looking for.
Buddy’s 680 is smoking and getting worse, so looks like I’m gonna have to do a rebuild on it. In looking at nflow and G&H’s websites neither shows a machining service for the Rincon cylinder. Is there something special/ weird about the Rincon cylinder or does it bore just like any other Honda cylinder (I know the 650 cylinders were plated and thus not bore-able)?
Also thinking about trying the 702 big bore from Thumper. It’s $345ish including the bore (have to ship the cylinder to them). I don’t see being able to do it a size over stock a lot cheaper than that. Of course, if he does the BBK it looks like he’ll have to pick up a programmer and run 93 octane in it. That correct?
Anyone here have the 702 in a Rinny?
I looked at Rinconriders.com. Doesn’t look like the site gets much traffic.
It’s a sad day, but I’m selling my old Honda Fourtrax 300. $750 obo
Back story: I acquired this gem probably 3 or 4 years ago from some people who had a small horse ranch. The CDI went bad and it had been sitting for a couple years. So, I drug it off for them. I put a new CDI in it and a new ignition (it was hot wired), cleaned the carb, new air filter, spark plug, fluids, etc. It ran pretty decent after that. I never rode recreationally, it was always for hunting, so I wasn’t too concerned as long as it did what I needed. Mostly, it just sits in my garage, so here we are.
New in the last year (throwing parts at a problem without have any electrical knowledge):
Battery
stator
rectifier
Pros:
Runs great when battery is charged (see cons for details)
Trans shifts great
all plastics there, but rough
electric start works
rear brakes work
Cons:
Battery doesn’t charge while riding. Can charge overnight and run until it drains, then runs rough.
Kind of ugly
Front brakes don’t work
Tires old and mis-matched
This would make a great little work horse for one of you guys that knows these quads inside and out. Probably a frayed wire or loose ground or something, I’m sure. Unless one of my new parts was bad from the factory, but I’ll include the old parts with it. I can text video of it running, but I can’t upload it. My number is 918-440-2603. Zach
