You guys sure do know how to make a person feel welcome. Thanks oh400ex. It's really fancier than what I need but the price was right so I jumped on it. Here's a couple pics of it with some firewood that I was hauling today. I also wanted to thank everybody who helped me get my user name straightened out.

I use 91 octane premium non-ethanol gas in all my small engines, wheeler and boat. Lasts much longer than ethanol gas, not that any of it sits very long except the boat in winter. Only add Stabil to the boat before winter.

In general I add fuel stabilizer to my gas container. It is a 5 gallon. This way I know it is good for my 4 stroke stuff all year. I do the same with my 2 stroke stuff. Never had a issue with gas going bad here in Canada... Think that is going to change soon. So today I picked up some Seafoam and thought I would add it to my fuel. I know I am not going to see AMAZING results or anything as my stuff runs good as of now. As this stuff has been around for a while what do you guys think? I see you can add it to the oil also. Hope I did not open a can of worms. 🙂

Howdy everybody. I'm from Mt. Washington, Ky. and I've ridden dirt bikes since I've been in my teens and now I'm 65. I've had a Honda 200X (kinda wish I still had that one) and a Yamaha Blaster along the way. I've still got a 1999 Honda XR-250 but had not ridden it for many years until my son got it running awhile back. It just didn't feel right I guess because of my age and I decided to get something with four wheels under it. I wound up buying a 2017 Rubicon with power steering and a DCT. I did want the power steering but wanted a foot shift instead of the DCT. I found this one at a price that I couldn't pass up and it only had 34 miles and 10 hrs. on it. I'll be using it for pleasure and work around the house. I gave it a little workout today and was hauling some firewood. I might have to get another atv because when my 15 year old granddaughter is here I don't get to ride it very much. I'm looking forward to riding some long trails. Danny

All 400ex carbs newer than 04 have a screen in the carb inlet tube. Should look like this

This is great advice! I would add that an in-line fuel filter would not be a bad addition. Need a high flow one though.

Well crazy story.. at about 620pm wife & I cooking supper in the camper. I go outside to take my Rotties outside pee. I get to the fire pit & look to my left, ole bear walking rite at me. I yell bear! He take off into bush, I throw dogs in camper (thank god they didn’t see him) grab gun & go in pursuit.. I hear a branch snap & look to my left, there he is maybe 60 yards or so thru the trees. I took a shoot with the SKS loaded with Hornady 123g SST. Bear takes off like a corvette thru the woods. I gave chase, but hit !, no blood, hair or dead bear. I went back to where he was, & found his tracks from the sprint ripping up the moss, but no blood, hair ect... I circled the are out to at least 130yards. Nothing! No death moan NOTHING. I’m heading back in daylight to see if I can find anything.... oh rite, wierd thing.. fire going, radio on outside & generator running! Brave bear??

some guys say it's good to add it to oil..... i wouldn't but that's me .. as for ethenal gas all you need is stabil. sea foam is good, but most guys i know with carberator equipment go with stabil.

If its within spec by a healthy margin then I'd run it.

Well he sold it for $20,100! The bidder was in it at 5k and again at 10k before dropping the extra $100 on the other guy who apparently set a hard cap at 20k What's another hundred bucks when you are spending 20 grand? I'll never understand rich people...

Thank you for the effort! My understanding is that WP is/was an Austrian company that was absorbed by KTM a few years back. I think what I have here is pretty rare but I don't know if it's actually good or worth anything.

Ok so i cant find wp atv suspension for anything but a ktm? It also doesnt say anything about them rebuilding anything but dirtbike suspension anywhere online. There facebook doesnt show a single quad picture anywhere. And there is only one location in the unitedstates in california. All the rest are in austria. Which makes sense since ktm comes from austria.

Have had it every way possible . . . . like it stewed the best. Whole bear is cut for stew meat.

I'd measure the freshly honed bore before making that decision... ya never know, the bore might provide a perfect fit with an off-the-shelf piston kit and save ya some money.

Never sent any shocks out. I did have a set of tcs shocks that were rebuilt by jet suspension. They havent posted anything on facebook since like early 2018 so i dont trust sending them there. Im thinking my elkas are gunna go to BNR. They are local and there prices seem reasonable. I have never heard anything about WP. Im gunna check them out though. I know RocketRon does a good job. But he is more expensive.

I appreciate the vote of confidence. Im not saying i didnt have fun. I had a blast! And honestly im actually doing real good "injury wise" i feel great today. And i even spent the last few days sleeping in the camper. Which usually would require 800 mg of ibeprofin. So thats a win in itself. The plan for this winter is suspension. These elkas are getting sent off to be rebuilt and tuned. It is no doubt about it time.

Haha saying i could run more than 3 laps without being gassed out. On lap 4 my fingers were stuck in a gripping handlebar position. I had to force them out of lol. Im just flat out not in good enough shape. Maybe 10 years ago. Not anymore.

Could of nailed this guy this morning. Sleeping inside camper while wife was reading her book. I woke up to my male rotty lying on the floor huffing.. windows were open just a crack. Wife opens blind to see this guy. I have a bear tag.. wife wouldn’t let me have a rug this am lol. I scared him off with air horn & SKS...

Hello all! I am from Missouri and I am on a mission. Just purchased a 2012 trx400 that has been sitting for a couple years. It does not run well and I am looking for a service manual for repairs. Figured I would start by reading up on the manual but I am sure I will have more questions along the way.

If you want a drink holder that will hold a Yeti sleeve , an a/c accumulator/dryer makes a good one , for free , the accumulators are changed every time the a/c compressor is changed so there are a lot of old ones out there to be had , the Yeti will work with cans or bottles ---- I find it is better for it to be solid mounted and not a swivel , the swivel will soak you

I read the story this morning about this crate 70 , it was sold after sitting on a shelf for 34 years , then within a few weeks , that guy that bought it raffled it off and the winner of the raffle , auctioned it on e-bay , the guy that bought it off e-bay they say has a serious collection

First thing I did was dump and clean the tank. Gas was pretty yellow... I will always run sea foam in my engine’s, I love the stuff. Thank you for the pointers for sure!

Drink holder ?

I been running them screen filters like on a Briggs and Stratton.

Welcome to the atvhonda Forum! Look forward to hearing how your new quad cleans up, post a few pics when you can

If you are paying 20k for a 70cc ATV... you are a rich person. lol Even if you worked hard and saved money to get that, it is just the fact that you can afford it. That's an extreme luxury item. What does someone want to do with it? Put it into museum condition and never run it? I would hope that's it... If they want to get a factory new condition bike and ride it? What was the point of buying that one... I absolutely guarantee you could drop off a POS old bike at shade's (like you said) and say "Here's 15 grand to fix it up!" Imagine the bike that he would produce with that amount of money? If he was forced to use it on the bike lol I guarantee it would be better than OEM and what came in that crate.

I'd rather have a foot shift like yours but am still ok with what I've got. The DCT doesn't always shift when I want it to but I can always go to the ES if needed. The DCT does make for some good lazy riding. No tire mods here. I'm not going to be going through any deep mud unless I have to. I like a rough trail but the deep mud stuff just isn't for me.

Welcome , you have a great machine, don't mod it....at our age we need to enjoy things..lol😀

Welcome aboard!

Finally got a chance to get the quad on a track. Only got a few short clips. Ran really well. Pulled real hard. I am out of shape bad lol.

Welcome to the site, I have a 17 rubi here also, but mine is a foot shift.just don't put any tires bigger than 26's on it and you should be OK. I see lots of people with big tires mudding the dct and burning out their clutches. You can't mod or upgrade the dct yet, only kits available are for the 17 fs.

Welcome from High Grove, now a part of cox's creek. i'm just 8 mile's from highway 44. Just turned 65 the other day. i dont like it. Oh Well. 🙂

welcome aboard.

oh come on! ... slammed ... you haven't had time to heal up all the way yet.. you still have it in you.

You got lots of wear left in that cam chain Goober, that one is in new condition! Yup, the cable doesn't have enough slack in it. Give it another 1/16".

Yeah sadly its a MX club. They only have a handfull of open practices per year. And its 90% dirtbikes. So the ruts and braking bumps coming into corners were pretty crazy. I was just happy i wasnt in peoples way out there. I was able to hold pace for a very short time atleast lol. And i was the smallest displacement quad there.

That will make a nice rug !!! What is the best way to eat bear , ground to sausage or maybe stew ?

Welcome to the site!!

Welcome to atvhonda Dude!

Welcome!

welcome aboard!!

Welcome Dude, you be in the right place for help

Welcome, we dont have as many sport members as utility, so glad you are here to add to the group. Trust me there will be help for you when you need it....

welcome to the forums.

So i stand corrected. The newer than 09 is not in the manuals section. And i have an 05 so i have the 05-09. But there will be very few differences in the 10+ years. It was just plastic design and gas tank. All the mechanical stuff is 100% identical.

Welcome aboard! Bring on the sport quads guys! I can send you a pdf of the manual or you can check out or manual section here on the forum. I am sure it is in there.

welcome to ATVH. @SlammedRanger is our sport expert.

Welcome to the site! lots of awesome people with tons of knowledge.

New 40 Ton log splitter followed me home recently. Man is this thing a Beast.
