With as many engines as you have torn apart it's hard to imagine you have never needed a bearing puller tool.  Or you have just been that lucky all these years.....

the engine over all is a tad bigger in size, which makes it heavier.

As it's been said, size matters....

Man o man that engine looks heavy, how does it compare to the 450"s?

For only an extra 50 cc's where does the weight come from?

Welcome to the forums Wheelie, saw you made an appearance in chat, come on back.....

Might as well make use of the $1000 you get from the 500 rebuild.....lol

Hey Texas glad to see you found us, great bunch of folks here and always lots of help, except maybe for the Polaris.....lol

Wheel you had talked about this in chat the other night, more details here in your thread.  So glad you or your family members were not seriously injured better the vehicles than you.  But that is a bummer as I know your vehicles are well taken care of, hope you are able to find good replacements.....

Happy New Year from the Michigan thumb....

Merry Christmas to all my friends here on the bestest Honda forum around........

Logan. remember you talking about this back when you bought this in the chat area.  You did say after getting it home that you did get it to fire and seems you have done a whole lot more since then.  I remember saying if it was a Honda and sunk it would be best to remove the engine and split it to see what it sucked in.  Maybe the Can-Am is designed differently and wouldn't allow anything to get in, hope you are lucky enough to not have had that happen.  on the surface it is in fantastic shape, good luck to you, keep us informed on your progress.....

Here in Michigan sunny and 50 today, no plow needed here either.  I did get all the lawn and garden equipment winterized with Stabil.  Run them then shut off the fuel to run them dry.

Happy Thanksgiving to all the members here, my son cooked a great holiday dinner for us, his mom would be very proud of him.......

Yep the clip was on last nights OP Live like wilson said.  And they did mention he did have gasoline in his backpack which the taser hit when the cop deployed it.

 Melatv, thanks so much for that!

I knew I saw it somewhere, but darn if I could remember where… lol

 I also have yet to have one of the new style angle sensors go bad, they seem to be built a lot more durable / reliable construction

 

 

So @AKATV have you also tried and used the newer angle sensor on the 98-01 450ES models?  Think I have one going, gotta test it, but their price is alot cheaper.......

Those old Husky's are good old machines, taken care of they will cut wood for many years.  Looks like this one has another life, good for you Sled.....

Hey Casey a big welcome to the forum, much help is available here, whatcha got for your ATV/ATV's?

Nice I'm in the sticks and have property so I don't have to trailer up to ride my 450...much handier.

harbor freight is a throw away tool place..use it one time ( if yer lucky ? ), toss it..cuz its worthless after that. i've always been a craftsman tool guy..but we all know where they went too !. good thing i've still got craftsman tools from 25 yrs ago !.

I hear ya shade, I also have old Craftsman sockets and wrenches.  My hope is I never break one because if it gets replaced I can guarantee the new one will break much quicker.....

Man that chain ? Might need replacing, i can't tell from the pic how pitted with rust it is, and whether it can saved, that's a danger in it's self...... If it were me and i was keeping the saw, I'd replace that chain. 

As rusty as that chain is I wonder if its actually going around the bar, bet there are a few areas its frozen....

Glad you found the forum BENL, we have alot of good members here with alot of Honda ATV experience.  If needed hope you can take advantage of it....

Looks like its missing the shift buttons on the handlebars......lol

Looking good, gonna be a winner when all put together......

Hey pd welcome to the forum.  Where you located, I'm in the thumb about halfway between Flint and Port Huron?  Hope you enjoy your time here and maybe learn a thing or two......

How do you clean a frame such as this?  Sandpaper, power wash, or what?

Good grief from the looks of it if that frame wasn't sunk a few times it should have been, butt ugly......

Good to hear the crank is a go shade, can save your spare yet then.....
