was out at my buds place today, stumbled ( and i mean i tripped over it for real ! ) an old atc250R lower engine ( its red..lol ). its just the lower engine part, i know it from heart its a atc250R engine, and i also know these baby's are very very rare today !. i should have taken some pics ?, but i did not have time to drag it out, and snap some pics...too busy messing with this trx300ex junk in my shop. if anyone has an interest in this 250r lower ?, give me a holler, i'll get some pics posted when i can find some time ( yeah..like that will happen ! ).

BIG Shoutout to @AKATV for resolving my Speedometer problem. He worked with me directly to troubleshot common issues, asking for nothing in return. We mutually agreed this was a CPU issue and he helped me with a replacement. End of the day, I found him knowledgeable and honest - something rarely seen these days. The whole process took only a couple of weeks since he is extremely responsive. Thank you kind sir! Here are some before and after pics: Thank you @AKATV!!!!!!! - Bill

If your in the states this should help but you'll have to fill in the blanks. 1HFTE359 *74000001 - 74099999 IS THE VIN matrix for the 2007 TRX420FM. The * is a check number so it can be anything and the 740 on is going to make your VIN unique.

Hi guys new member here , my names luke fellow trx owner , was directed over here from another forum which wasn’t very active

Hi@Holmesy89 i see ya got my pm.... i been watching over there and after 4 or 5 post on the same topic with NO answer even i had seen enough....your in the right place now... welcome to atvh and be sure to check out the Chat room

answer: take some 220 sand paper, wd-40, lightly !!..sand back and forth over the vin number plate, all you are doing is taking the top coat off the metal. there is 17 digits in the vin number. once you get the top coat of rust/crud off the top of the plate ?, use a magnifier to read the vin number. this '' should '' let you get the number off the plate, i've done this many times on very bad , rusted vin number plates.

your welcome. those trx420's are not too bad ?..spec if they are manual shifts..but they do have known issues that pop up from time to time. almost every trx420fm i have worked on or seen ?, the crank rod always fails. other than this, and a few small issues ?.they are ok. as for a newer foreman ?..yeah...just no..no new atv is made like they were 20-30 yrs ago. save your cash, invest into an old dog that needs another life, easier on the wallet.

welcome to the forums, what ya ride right now ?. if it needs work ?, be sure to post a thread in the correct section, and someone will be along to lend a few words of wisdom.

I did work on big trucks at a shop when i was 19-20, but that was a millennium ago 😅 Guy a couple houses up had a few KWs. Had a new metallic green one with black stripes (all were cabovers) back in the 70s, same idea as BJ & the Bear. I used to love that truck.

if you are worried about stripping the bolts out ?..or worse..snapping them off ?..grab yourself a hammer impact driver, 1/2 is best, slap a socket on it, use a hammer while twisting , smack it loose, this works well for stuck bolts as well as stuck nuts.
