  1. Today
  2. Thanks, do you know where in the manual I can find how to set compressions. I’ve looked through it and can’t find it in there. Or if there is a YouTube video I appreciate your help. Thank you
  3. Yesterday
  4. sounds like you got everything you need for it to start and run ?, but !!..if the timing is off ?, it will never start. please check the timing !!. make sure it all lines up ?, if not ?, it won't start.
  5. I figure enough time has passed… hm… so… green light on negative ….. kiss yer grits eh shade… lol!…. Anyone else ? Grits is already taken…
  6. I was having problems shifting with my 2k 350 Rancher and I finally followed every step in the ES Cleaning tutorial mentioned above, adjusted the clutch screw, readjusted it again, and finally got it shifting properly and consistently. It does take some tweaking. I have given up on finding a new meter (burned out gear area - AKATV said it couldn’t be repaired reasonably $) and now it works just fine “listening” like the old days. That tutorial was worth it’s weight in parts!
  7. Last week
  8. Hello, recently redid all the wiring, did a carb rebuild and it’s good as new and gas makes it to the carb. I checked compression and got like 163 at full throttle. I will post pictures of the spark I got it’s pretty consistent. i was wondering what my next steps would be? Throw on a new top end? Or anything else. appreciate everyone’s help, haven’t worked on atvs too much so i might be making a stupid mistake. model: 1989 Fourtrax 300fw IMG_0569.mov IMG_0569.mov
  9. The drum around the clutch is not spinning freely causing the fourwheeler to jump when shifted and move without load. I’ve put the entire clutch system back together many times but as soon as I tighten the centrifugal clutch nut the drum locks up. Any ideas?
  10. Looking for a meter assembly for my 04 foreman rubicon 500. Bought the atv used and they really took advantage of my lack of knowledge. Doesn't seem like this part exists any longer or any way to bypass it...anyone have one laying around? Either the 9 pin on the board or the pigtail coming off of it isn't working.
  11. #14 on this breakdown. But try the clutch adjustment first, before wasting time pulling the crank case cover.
  12. work on the crank issue 1st. that only involves the starter, the solenoid, starter and battery. the other issues,, start with the fuses. also, download the service manual at the top of the page.
  13. the 1st., thing you need is the service manual which is at the top of the page. then go from there. there are plenty of answers here if you should still need them. do grease the shifter gears when you get the chance. it it will shift up, it should shift down, that is quite obvious. i can not give you an exact cause as yet. u sure the shifter button is working?
  14. Welcome to the forum! Let me see a few pictures of of what you have going on and I can better let you know what needs to be done The 400 FGA screen is a hard one to come by What was wrong with the first one and what do you think happened to the second one? what are they doing exactly I will send my contact information to your message box as well -AKATV
  15. I am working on a 2005 TRX400FGA with around 300 miles on it. Got it running fine but sun damaged display screen. I bought one on Ebay but I apparently damaged it trying to install it. I would like it repaired if I can
  16. Thank you very much for replying. I didn’t explain what I was asking very well after re reading it I was trying to ask which spring you were referring to. There’s one not far from right under the shift drum and then there’s one behind everything next to the star shaped gear
  17. I stretched the spring slightly. But I do have an update. I no longer need the shim I put in there. The clutch must not have been fully disengaging and the shim helped with that. in the beginning, I had adjusted the clutch with the bolt adjuster on the front of the engine but it didn't help. Then I read somewhere online a description of the adjustment with one difference. Most instructions say to loosen lock nut, turn screw counter clockwise until you feel resistance, then clockwise 1/4 turn then tighten lock nut. The difference that worked for me had to do with the level of resistance. The instructions said to turn it until you feel GOOD resistance, not just contact. Then the 1/4 turn back. My rancher shifts flawlessly now. Absolutely no problem. So adjust the clutch but go for more resistance on the adjustment screw than just contact. Use just enough resistance for the clutch to disengage. It may take a couple tries. Mine worked the first try. Still shifting flawlessly today.
  18. I have a 2009 honda foreman ES that will not crank. Here are the symptoms: No spark from the spark plug, electric shift will not work, 4x4 selector switch does not work I am not getting any error codes on my display screen. The screen displays a solid 'N'. When I try to retrieve any codes it might have, it still does not give me any. I can change gears manually with the provided tool and the display changes gears on the screen. I replaced the ECU with a known working one and it did not fix it. I also took the ECU out of this bike and put in another 2009 foreman and that bike fired right up. I replaced the Voltage rectifier - it didnt help. I replaced the ignition coil and spark plug - it didnt help. I verified all the fuses and diode are good I verified the ES switch is working correctly per continuity test I verified the angle sensor is working correctly per continuity test What is the voltage suppose to be going to the angle sensor and CKP sensor? Would a faulty CKP sensor or angle sensor keep the bike from both cranking and Electric shift not working? I am wondering if anyone else has had this issue and what the problem was? I have started ohming out various wires to see if I have wiring issue, but this could take awhile. I am just looking for some feedback/recommendations from someone. Thanks!
  19. 2002 Forman ES not shifting down from higher gears down to neutral when you come to a stop read some farms about grease on the gears. Read some things about a sensor What could be the problem any help would be appreciated thanks.
  20. Alright, guys. I finally found my way back to the 400ex over the weekend. As shadetree recommended, I stepped back and carefully evaluated the assembly, existing parts, and surfaces. Took the motor back down to the cylinder. Evaluated the head and removed the right exhaust valve. No hints of bending. One of the cam journals on the head looks to have a little wear, but not sure about that translating into a problem. I’ve included a few pics for reference. Also checked the decompression mechanism. Thanks for that tip! It was there but was stuck and I had to put quite the effort into removing it. The spring came out with no issue, however. Got them cleaned off, placed a good coating of assembly lube, and put them back. It functions as it should now. Decided to try something to see if I could rule out potential problems. Had the head off the motor, installed the cam in the TDC position, and bolted the valve cover to the head with the bolts that do not extend deeper into the motor. Was able to place the tappet screw in the same location for the right exhaust valve as all the others and got the same clearance. Repeated the process with the head on the engine, but only with the head bolts slightly more than hand tight. Got the same result……feeling good about things! Pulled the cam back out, torqued the head down, replaced the cam, and started to put the valve cover on. Got all the bolts in place and slightly more than hand tight. Right back where I started. The right exhaust valve has zero clearance even if I back the tappet screw all the way out. So everything works fine up until I torque the head down. Any ideas? As mentioned before, the engine was seized when I bought it and several of the transmission gears were completely stripped down. Had plenty of metal to clean out of the bottom end when I pulled it apart. The oil plug had no crush washer on it and the head on the plug was disfigured. Could tell there was evidence the engine had been leaking oil. Just wondering if the motor came to an abrupt stop and maybe that has something to do what’s going on? Thank you for the advice already received and whatever you can provide at this stage.
  21. Earlier
  22. i am not smart enough to remember the parts numbers of my 2000 honda, and every time, i have to look it up again, and do another search online. there are those that can know what matches off the top of there head and will get back to you.
  23. your post has no information, on what you need or want. not saying that to be a smart arse, it just doesnt say enough yet.
  24. Welcome to the forum! I sent my contact information to your message box Stop in and say hello to everyone in the new member area and don’t forget to download a free service manual from our digital library if you need one -AKATV
  25. Akatv I’d like for you to send me some contact info as well. I have a 05 350 rancher es with the screen doing the same thing.
  26. Hi Shane Welcome to the forum! I have sent my contact info to your message box We have a great digital library with free service manuals if you need them, don’t forget to stop in and say “hi” in the new member section if you get a chance Hope to see you around the forum -AKATV
  27. I am not overly familiar with ATVs but bought a good running 06 Rancher 350 es 4x2 for $500 but it needs work and replacement parts. What years are interchangeable with an 06 rancher 350. Plastics, and other parts. Also if you have a source, please let me know. It needs: (so far) Starter Front plastic Headlights Front bumper with headlight backets Front rack Tires Possibly the speedo display
  28. Hello, I'm new to the forum. I have an ATV repair business and always run into the bad meter display on the Honda bikes. Can you give me your contact information to discuss me sending in meters to be repaired? Thank you.
