Was looking for tongue weight capacity and found this , interesting 300 info Honda FourTrax 300 4×4 Specs and Review Written by Kris Peter in ATVs One of Honda’s top ATVs of all time, the Honda FourTrax 300, aimed to provide consumers with a tough quad suitable for recreation and work. Its 4×4 model featured a limited-slip front differential, a double-wishbone front suspension, and a heavy-duty steel frame. The Honda FourTrax 300 goes down in history as Honda’s best-selling ATV. Its revolutionary design made it a huge success, selling over half a million units over its 12-year production run. The 300 and 300 4×4 sported a more compact chassis and introduced four-wheel drive to the market. Learn all about this legendary all-terrain vehicle, as you read about its specs and features, and more, in this article. About Honda FourTrax 300 4×4 The Honda FourTrax 300 4×4 (or TRX300FW) is a ground-breaking high-performance ATV produced by Honda from 1988 to 2000. It featured a 282-cc air-cooled four-stroke mono-cylinder engine and boasted remarkable towing capabilities, 45 mph top speed, and 20 horsepower. It superseded the TRX250X – a 246-cc sport model featuring a five-speed transmission and adjustable suspension that made the FourTrax name famous in 1986. Known to Honda as its highest-grossing utility vehicle, the FourTrax came in two versions: The standard 2WD Honda FourTrax 300 The 4WD Honda FourTrax 300 4×4 With a market that was seeing more value in ATVs and the benefit they bring to utility work and recreation, the Honda FourTrax 300 immediately became a hit with the off-roading community as well as the general public. FourTrax 300 owners attest to its durability – never letting them down when traversing on sandy wastes and rough terrain or even when riding at an elevation of up to 10,000 feet. Its stock jetting performs excellently under these conditions, provided the spark plug and valves are correctly adjusted. People love its phenomenal gas mileage – allowing them to cover 25 miles of distance with only the 0.7-gallon reserve. Its front independent wishbones and its 4×4 performance are also impressive, considering the vehicle has low ground clearance.

All other light indicators – neutral, reverse, and oil – are 1.7 watts each. A 12V battery powers all lighting. Known Issues & Remedies Although the Honda FourTrax 300 is a durable quad, it does have issues reported by its owners. Luckily, their experience provides us with solutions to these identified problems. Here are a few of them: Deterioration Especially for secondhand quads that have seen too many mud bogs and streams, deterioration is unavoidable. To limit corrosion caused by water entering your quad’s brake drums, for instance, grease your O-ring and seals and exercise some restraint. A good practice is to avoid water crossings that go above your brakes. Drivetrain Issues Slow acceleration and reduced top speed are a couple of tell-tale signs you have this problem. These may happen even if your wheeler starts fine. You may also notice that only your rear wheels are powered when attempting to take your quad out of the mud. Here are things you can do fix the problem: Trim off the bulged end of the wire. Replace the spark plug cap. Check and adjust the valve lash to spec. Clean your carburetor, drain, and flush the gas tank. Polish all jets in and out. Following these steps will eliminate the issue and dramatically improve your vehicle’s performance. However, they may not always solve your front-slipping problems. You will need your owner’s manual to guide you on adjusting your clutch. At most, the latter may require you to do a partial or complete clutch kit installation – new pressure plates and all. In addition to installing a new spark plug, adding sea foam to your fuel will clean your fuel system and free your combustion chamber of excessive carbon deposits that rob the engine of power (which explains the sluggish performance and acceleration). Changing the engine oil and oil filter with manufacturer-recommended options does wonders for your vehicle. Also, nothing beats manually cleaning jets with a #0000 steel wool (if you’re patient enough). Intermittent Shifting This typically occurs with older FourTrax 300s when upshifting or downshifting. Several possibilities behind this problem include a broken or warped clutch plate, incorrect oil grade, clutch basket wear, improper clutch adjustment, plus a few more unusual causes. Surprisingly, changing the oil to a JASO rating of MA or higher mitigates clutch wear and eliminates the need to ram your shift lever into the next gear. Weak Axle and Bearings Savvy enthusiasts and mechanics doing rebuilds advise new owners to check on Honda 300 FourTrax rear end axle, differential bearings, and swingarm bearings. They are the weakest link on the vehicle. Not catching this problem early on will result in damage to the ring and pinion bearings. To inspect, move the axle while looking at the areas where it comes through the differential and where it exits the brake drum cover. Replace the bearings at once if you see any movement or play (unless you prefer replacing the pinion bearings, which is more difficult). Cost of a Honda FourTrax 300 The original price of a 1988 model was $4,399, increasing only by $800 for its last production year. Nowadays, the price could range anywhere from $265 to $3,545, depending on the year and modifications. 1996-2000 models cost at least $3,000. If you’re looking for cheaper, go for used models produced before 1990, which should be around $1,900. Used FourTrax 300s are mostly available through online and farm auctions. They would typically be models from 1988 to 1996 and would be reasonably priced (only going up to $2,300). Cheaper, older models may come with minor defects such as torn seats and corroded plastics and may require some rear end work. However, some 1988 models still have stock tires, with no cracks or dents, and have never been taken off-road. Sellers may even throw in their service manual for the new owner.

Nice colors !!

Late summer...like, around here lately. Though may come to an end in the next few days.

pretty much just followed my Fourtrax around all afternoon as I rode on my lil red honda CT90...my kids took their kids for rides back on the trails...wonderful memories being made for the 8yr old grandkids to be enjoying time with their mom n dad.

I hear ya Nanook. I grew up in a pretty basic lower-middle class home. Dad enjoyed hunting..deer, pheasant and rabbit. he did all of that above with an old old Winchester model 12 in 16ga... slugs for the deer of course..used to call them punkin balls. anyway, that and a Ruger Mark 1 pistol were all a good man felt he needed in life in this great country of ours back in the 50s...and if he planned to plink on a Saturday , then he could swing by the Western Auto on his way home FRiday and buy a box of bullets...no worry about supply, about govt anti-gun pressure. a 32cal old pistol made it's way into his hands during the MLK riots when we were living in New Jersey...but again, that was as far as firearms got for us. I grew into manhood and responsible for my own family/household in the late 80s..by the time public opinion had turned, the Clinton AWB was upon me. so just as I was getting to the point where diaper funds were no longer needed and I might have some expendable income, it was tougher to find a firearm and even the wife was of the mindset that "we don't need a military weapon in the home" She had clear understanding that the Ruger mini 14 shot the same caliber round, had the same capacity, but it was a nice wood stock rifle, not a scary black military killing machine!!! so more years passed, more riots, more politicians telling us we should not be permitted to own anything more than a 5 shot revolver from 1800s firearm technology. She had become more acclimated over time and finally one day...after seeing ol Dianne Fienstien on the TV holding up an AR insisting on more gun control.. I just pulled my big boy panties up and told her I was buying an AR...she didn't push back...in fact, she now enjoys shooting the AR10, has her own collection of tools...10/22, M&P 9 compact for carry, Colt mustang 380, and a Ruger SR22. She's quite accurate on target..doesn't train enough on running the gun and doing drills, but she likes to plink the paper, ..more importantly , she is familiar with the manual of arms on various pistols, and long guns. Honestly, while I enjoy the shooting sport, I'd be happy if our world never required me to think about home defense shotguns, front yard sweeper AR15s, high capacity pistols for personal defense outside the home, etc. I didn't start this antigun political environment, I didn't start the whole "bad guy gets a deserved smackdown /shot by responding cops - lets' go riot" mindset, I didn't start the whole "I am justified to steal from people and play the knockout game cause they are a different race than I am" thing, but it is here..and so, yeah, invested in the tools, the supplies, many weekends of advanced training so that I feel I am capable AND responsible for the choice to carry deadly force.

I've always like the 350, being i was always farming , i never had the chance to convert one to a 383, or 388, but the 383 was hands down the big dog at the thunder hill dirt track a few miles from my place. i have a friend who did put angle pluged 375 (camel back) horse heads on his 350, holley double pumper carb, i have no idea what cam it had.... it would set you back in the seat, he finally blew the transfer case wide open.

I don't think I'm going to put new bushings and ball joints into these a-arms... Think they're getting replaced. Was originally going to bead blast them and re-powder coat them, but this just looks too rotted out to me.
