It’s a Yamaha, and from what I’ve found so far it’s a 1991-95 model. Four stroke gas, but it needs some work. It either needs the clutch belt adjusted or replaced altogether as it will sit and squeal for a few seconds before it catches up and takes off. Needs a little carb adjustment, and some paint. But, it runs well once it gets going lol. Not much to look at but it beats walking. And it’s got the nice fold out rear seat for hauling stuff.

Was driving to work yesterday, cruising about 75, and my timing belt popped. Coasted to the side of the road, and had to wait for a tow from the old man. Got it back to the house, took off the valve cover and timing cover, and sure enough, timing belt with a nice clean break. No drying, cracking etc. Just broke. I was well over the recommended 90K interval that Honda recommends, but I've gotten away with that until now, usually running them 140-150K before changing them. I guess I learned why the say 90K! Anyhow, most likely I've have bent valves in the head. This car has 348K on it, and I was hoping to get twice that out of it. Dad bought it new, has been meticulously maintained. So, plan is to pull the head, see if I have any piston/cylinder damage. If I do, I'll have to find another engine. If the cylinders and pistons look ok, I'll have the head reworked, bolt it back on with a new timing belt, and hopefully get a lot more miles out of it. I'll post up some pics. A few years ago I wouldn't have dreamed of tearing into a car engine, but working on these ATV's has given me experience, knowledge, and confidence, so let's see what we can do!

@AKATV is the meter man. Can you post a pic of what your dash looks like, preferably with the headlights on so the display it lit up?

2006 TRX 500 Fe Foreman electrical problem update
jeepwm69 replied to honda4ever's topic in Electronics
Glad I could help you out. I don't do ES machines, but situations like this justify my hoarding of old parts for machines I don't have, that have something wrong with them! -
Yeah, more or less. They'll poke out a hair more with that offset, but you do need the same offset front and rear. I ran Rincon wheels on my wife's 420AT. 12" all around, aluminum, and the perfect offset.

What kinda golf cart? I still have the 1974 Cushman my parents bought when mom was pregnant with me. Batteries and tires and it just keeps going.

Electrical issues, 2006 TRX350FE FourTrax Rancher 4x4 ES
shadetree replied to Lost in NY's topic in Electronics
starter solenoid sounds bad, or you have battery hooked up wrong to it and ground. -
use a ratchet strap wrapped around the center of the tire once on the rim, tighten it, then add air to tire, if you have a slow leak on a spot ?, bounce the tire a couple times, this has worked for me many times. BE SURE TO LOOSEN STRAP ONCE TIRE STARTS TO TAKE AIR !!.

2009 Rancher IRS I’m about to order a set of 14X7 wheels, I’m trying to confirm that all 4 of the wheels should be 5+2 correct? Wayne

Got the two front tires mounted and seated today, and bolted on. Got one rear tire seated and ready to go, just trying to get the other rear tire to seat. I went ahead and mounted the two dirt hooks on my spare rims, and got one of them seated. Still have one fighting me. I’ll get there eventually, then I’ll have two full sets of tires and wheels for some reason.

Electrical issues, 2006 TRX350FE FourTrax Rancher 4x4 ES
Lost in NY replied to Lost in NY's topic in Electronics
so I disconnected the gray 8 pin connector, there is a greenish blue wire with red stripe, I grounded it, nothing happened. Wiring diagram says green/red is from the reverse switch. 30A motor fuse is not blowing out any more, rectifier is hooked up and causing no problems. Electric shift is working properly. Starter switch is doing nothing. -

Right now I have had time to start diagnosing, I did an electrical current leak test. Found disconnecting either of the connections to the ECU stopped the drain. I did not find any other connections that stopped the leak. So do I replace the ECU? -
Changing the oil with Amsoil 0w-40 before my hunting trip tomorrow. (You may notice my 424 switch missing.. I rebuilt the OEM diff & am getting a shift fork made at machine shop as mine was stripped)

More tire madness. I got the two rears mounted on the rims, I just need to set the beads and pick up a valve stem for one. And I got the beads broken on the front two dirt hooks to swap them out, then it got too dark to see. But before I could work on my toys, I had to work on my son’s. See, my parents brought a $500 golf cart up here for him last time they were here. It’s rough, but it’s a cool little project for me and him to work on. Anyway, one of the tires had dry rotted and let go, so I went to the next town over and picked up a couple tires and a set of cheapo hubcaps. So he got a lesson on how to change a tire, how a breaker bar works with leverage, and which way lug nuts go on lol. And, how to install hub caps. He wants to paint it, and help me put on the light bar that came off my rancher. Anyway, we did that before I got to work on my tires.

Sounds to me like you might have other issues. Have you unplugged the circuit card at the speedometer by any chance? it is possible to put one of the plugs in upside down that will give that same effect You should not be getting any power to the brown/black wire that powers up the speedometer with the key in the off position I would check your speedometer plug down below, to make sure you don’t have any corroded or burned pens,as well as remove the top cover to make sure you don’t have any water damage damages underneath on the circuit card Let me know what you find out. I will send my contact information to your message box as well. -AKATV

@AKATV I would like to get in touch with you about my 01' trx500fa combo meter display. Battery went dead and the display started acting up with the new battery. Now the display flashes on and off with the key on and stays on with the key off.
-
i have a friend of mine that has a 2002 TRX500FA that died and the repair shop is saying that the "dashboard" (same part number as the OP) is bad. @AKATV if you could send me your contact info so i can pass it to him i would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

I use a Blackhawk CQC Holster with my G22 whenever I’m in the woods.

Yeah I’m not gonna ride it till I get the situation fixed. Just wondering if the bypass kit is the way to solve the problem. No oil is leaking that I can see. Thanks for the heads up
