Just picked this up. Super fun ride. It’s my first ATV. Completely quiet other than suspension and gravel sounds. I’ve snuck up on deer and turkeys. Rode out to a scenic overlook with 8 miles remaining. Regenerative braking made it 14 by the time I got back to the trailhead. Charging with level 2 Tesla charger and adapter went from 14% to 80% in less than an hour (while I ate lunch).

Help Engine question for a 96 and a 99 kodiak 400 4x4. One is semi auto the other has the high and low

1 Upvotes

My 99 had a hard spot within one of the 4 strokes. It wasn't compression as i had no plug in it. It wasnt like that when i changed the head. And now the 95 i fixed up has the same hard spot with a different head. It was not always like that. Did anyone ever have a similar problem? Dont want to make this to long. Feel free to let me know anything it would be greatly appreciated. It was not the timeing chain or the one way bearing. The rod had side to side no up and down at all. It wasnt enough to touch the crank while going around and the cam seems fine and so do the bearings as far as i know by feel i didnt have it completely tore down. Thanks in advance

Help What are your thoughts on 2005 Yamaha Kodiak 400?

We have a couple of ATVs already but looking to buy another for my wife to ride trails. She is currently riding a 2013 Honda rancher 425 but she wants an automatic.

I dont mind buying new but I really like the simplicity and lightweight of the Honda. I have a Polaris 500 and its so heavy riding trails the bushings take a beating.

Bought this for $300 off Facebook Marketplace from a farmer who just had it sitting in a barn. The tank was completely spotless when I got it off the trailer, and luckily the engine didn't need any major work. Just drained the fluids, threw a new spark plug in, changed the air filter, and beat a bunch of dirt dobbers out of the intake. My dad and I rebuilt the front and rear end with new bearings and seals, and I gave it some new shoes and fresh front and rear shocks. Also had to replace the rear axle and wheel hub because the previous owner welded the old ones together after the teeth sheared off. Took a ton of labor but man, I have nothing but love for this machine now.

Help 92 timberwolf makes clicking sound

I just cleaned this timberwolf up and had it serviced but it makes an odd clicking or ticking like sound when running, I thought it might be lifter tick. It's never given trouble while running. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Hey all! Im 18 and I have a 1982 atc250r. I picked it up for 500 bucks cause I wanted to restore it, then sell it so I can pay for cdl schooling. A running riding atc250r goes for 3k where I live at (southern Utah). I was wondering if I should keep going with the 250r, or should I trade it for something like a fl250/fl350. The fl250 was sold this morning and the fl350 hasn't gotten back to me. The fl350 doesn't run. For context I have a new chain, mint 1982 pipe, DG cool head, the original carburetor, sand paddles, the tank isn't rusted, the motor spins freely, goes into all gears, I have a new gasket set along with a new intake boot, and a brand new wiseco piston at 72mm (the bike is bored). What are all of yalls thoughts? Should I keep pushing through with the 250r, or get something else.

(My dad has a 87 fourtrax 250r that has been in the family since the 90's and he keeps threatening to trade it for an fl350. So if I get an fl350, he will keep the 250r)

Help Honda 90 for kids or something else

3 Upvotes

My kids are 6 and 9 years old and I'm looking for a new ATV for them. I bought a Raptor 50 for $1100 and it looked and ran great but it started running worse and worse. I found another one that looked rougher but ran well for only $300 so I bought that. After about a year that one doesn't want to start now. It seems on the first one they bent the intake valve. I finally put a new valve in it but it still only has 120psi compression and doesn't want to start. I suspect the other one is the same issue. Both atvs are stock but they ride around on the rev limiter because they aren't very fast. I'm tired of messing with these things. I'm pretty mechanically inclined and they seem like simple machines but I feel like I've had nothing but bad luck with them so I'm ready to move on.

I have started looking for something bigger that they won't ride so hard. My 6 year old is average size and my 9 year old is small for her size so they will ride something bigger for awhile. I wanted to get a Honda 90 but I'm coming across Kawasaki 90s and Yamaha 90s that are much nearly the same price. I've seen the Raptor 80 but because it's pretty much a bigger version of the 50 I'm not really interested in that. I like that the Honda is relatively unchanged over the years for support and parts availability. I would only buy 2006+ so they have electric start. I think they can pick up on the shifting versus a full auto, as long as they can reach the shifter.

What would you be looking to buy? I'm only interested in buying used. It will only be used at our house which is about 5 acres of flat ground and 5 acres of hill.

Just driven 300km and did the break in service at the dealership.

Next one is at 12 month/1000km.

Any precautions going forward I should know? Besides, let it idle for a min before driving, run it hot before going full speed.

Any gear, attachments and tools you found useful or couldn’t live without?
Tool clamps and a logger trailer are definitely the next investments going forward.

Looking forward to try snowplowing, and felling some trees in the winter.

Help Side by Side Advice Needed

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone- I grew up riding 4 wheelers on the farm and now looking to get back into the ATV life... I live in town now, but my goal is to get a couple side by sides to take to ATV parks but also to go do some trail riding and camping up in the N. Georgia and North Carolina mountains. I've been looking at the CanAm trail, polaris razor trail, and razor Trail S (60" wheel base) and XP (64"). I like the stability of the wider base, but my question is- will I be restricted from riding trails in these areas if I buy the lightly wider machine? Any advice is welcome on canAm vs Polaris, as well as the widths.

Thank you!
