i would think this rotor should go on the right hand side ..kind of would make sence to me any water mud etc would slung outwards instead of being pulled inwards ... causing more pad replacement issues ... 

Yes I agree with you Wilson -- should be on the right side

Hi: Big Welcome Here --- from what I see they are okay

I love our Honda as much as the next guy but everyone makes mistakes. (ES and EFI)

 

I just don't like ES (Electric Shift) personally but at least there is a bypass. 

I really dislike EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) in the form it was implemented into the Rancher 420. 

My biggest complaint is that there is no bypass to manually start the bike if the starter goes, even if the battery is still hot enough to run the EFI

 

Is there a way to start the bike other than wheel start? Anyone spun the starter with a string as a makeshift pull-start?

If you had a dead starter, your buddy is on a dirt bike and no ability to roll down hill could you get it going? (Assuming you have a jump-box and full tool set on you)

 

Thank you for reading!

Don't waste your money and time -- buy booster pack --- if the battery is dead the pull can't start the bike.

The pull start on my TRX 420 auto/es - EFI-- Has a pull start kit that came with a new harness, condenser, rectifier (diode) and relay. It will not start on a dead battery or battery disconnected. It also states with the instructions that the pull start is only to be used to start the engine when the battery is low. So in my case the pull start is no good to me if the battery is dead and they can fail when needed.

I did some testing on my TRX 420 before – This what I have found as soon as the key is turn on the console lamps discharged the condenser right away, before I could pull the pull start.

Also check the system out and found that the condenser has to power the following.
Engine stop relay
Fuel pump relay to start fuel pump
Fuel injector 
Ignition coil
Light up console lamps

I carry a booster pack when biking by myself.

Hi , @Melatv , which engine is that in your pic on the left , yours ? 

It"s a 2000 TRX300

Hi: Big Welcome Here

Hi: Big Welcome Here

Hi: Big Welcome Here -- be safe --  fave fun

Hi: Big Welcome Here -- Like Shadetree has posted -- tear down top to bottom.

WOW -- that's not good to hear -- look after it -- with your time off don't over do things -- hope it comes back to normal for you.

Hi: Big Welcome Here

Hi: Big Welcome Here -- have fun -- be safe

Hi: The other 2 holes in the hub -- is there enough room to place nuts between the hub and pulley -- if so put bolts or threaded rod into the holes to the nuts -- tighten nuts against hub -- when tight hit the end of the bolts with a hammer then tighten nuts again -- also heat will help 

Hi: Big Welcome Here -- enjoy -- be safe

Hi: This will help with preload -- also you may have to do a reset as you done before.

Just for info only -- the new sensor maybe a Hall Effect sensor -- which you can't check for resistance -- 

Hi: If you don't read 1.6 to 2.4 K ohms when you are testing where the Bl/R and the G/Y goes on the sensor the sensor is bad.

Happy Birthday -- behave yourself

Hi: The angle shift sensor tells the ECM that shift was made when shifting gears

Hi: Unplug the angle sensor -- measure the resistance of the angle sensor it's self -- Black/Red to Green/Yellow should read 1.6 to 2.4 K Ohms -- if that reads okay remove the angle sensor and check the resistance from the Yellow/Blue to the Green/Yellow when turning the center of the sensor with a small screwdriver -- it should read very smoothly from zero to 4 K ohms 

Hi: Check the angle sensor connector for corrosion -- also check for 5 volts DC on the black/red wire harness to ground with key on.

Hi: That is some painful looking -- take care 

Hi: Are you running the original tires? If so go up one size and go with 6 or 8 ply -- it will make a big difference on trails --- I am running with 8-ply Radial 

Hi: This is what I use.

your talking about the battery tender jr ? 

 

i went ahead and replaced mine .... ($44) this time i got warranty .... 3 years i think... ...

 

.he says in the video it's the electrolytic capacitors. went bad. ... id like to hear what Mel thinks .... 

Yes Electrolytic capacitors will go bad over time -- just a while back I replaced one in the remote for our electric fire place.  The one in the remote the end was blown out -- easy to spot.
