  1. have you tried new c.d.i., unscrewing plug boot...check for spark off engine ?.
  2. those numbers are low, but not high.
  3. i just have to ask !..what good is it if its smoking when making top end noise ?, why does it matter if its charging or not when it has top end noise ?..please wizard..tell me !..lol.
  4. here's an easy way to test stator..first..toss that manual for now..lol. unplug the stator from wire harness, with multimeter set to ohms, probe two yellow wire connectors on stator side, then move one probe to the next yellow connector on stator side ( plug )..do all 3, your looking for anything around 7 ohms, no more than 9, then leave red lead in each yellow wire connector, then probe black lead to case.engine..you should have zero numbers on meter. be sure to move red probe to all 3 wires on stator plug side while grounding black probe. if you have any numbers at all when doing this ?..then stator has a open circuit.
  5. you need to just ohm the stator with a multimeter. and where did you get the left switch from that you said you replaced 6 months ago ?..plz don't tell me amazon !.
  6. have you tried a new spark plug ?. have you ohm'ed out the stator ?.
  7. try putting old c.d.i. back in. check for kill switch not centered ?, make sure neutral light is lit on dash ?.
  8. just guessing, lack of round up ?..lol.
  9. with it being 24 yrs old ?, its hard to narrow your issue down. the piston, or bore can be worn ?, the connecting rod can have play in it ?. wrist pin top at rod can be worn out ?, valves can be out of adjustment ?. really hard to tell you what it can be. the only way you will find out, is too tear the top end down, and inspect the piston, bore, valves, rings, connecting rod. BEFORE you tear it down !!. make sure to have a top end gasket kit, and a tube of yamabond or hondabond on hand !...DO NOT USE RTV SEALANT ANYWHERE ON THIS ENGINE !!!. i'll go out on a limb here, and say your piston, jug, connecting rod is worn out..one of these..or all 3 need to be fixed.
  10. maybe one day you will hit your state lottery too huh ?..lol.
  11. i hope it does...keep us posted on what happens !.
  12. lol..that is a 2003 trx450FE !!. 10th digit, my cheat sheet says its a 2003 trx450FE. this explains the c.d.i. , reg/rec not working !.
  13. in the front, very middle of frame, under front fender, is a flat steel plate, this is where the vin# is stamped, 17 digits, from left to right, see what the 10th digit is ?. more that likely the plate is under that winch !.
  14. i looked up a 2002 trx450FE, and the reg/rec is square, are you sure this atv is a 2001 trx450es ??. this is very important !. reason: the yr models changed with the last prefix letters on the model number. the '01 is called trx450ES, and the 2002 is called trx450FE, even both are the same design by being 4x4 ?, the eletronics may have changed, hense why you got a odd shaped reg/rec, where the old reg/rec is square.
  15. if you got it frm rmatv ?, then chances are its oem from honda. i was saying anything you buy from amazon is china.
  16. 601 replaces the 600 going by rocky mountain atv. non in stock, prob discontinued.
  17. i looked your yr/model up, that is the correct reg/rec. but if you got it from amazon ?..then its china junk..china parts don't like honda atvs..lol.
  18. salvage atv yard, such as power sports nation may have a fan control unit ?. as for amazon parts ?..they are nothing but china junk...PURE JUNK !!. do not waste your money and time with them. if the fan comes on when the key is on ?, then either the fan control unit is bad ?, or they wired the fan to come on all the time when key is on ?. deff should replace the fan control unit and oil temp sensor. the oil temp sensor controls the fan control unit. start by replacing the oil temp sensor. bottom right hand side, behind the metal plate. you can lift the right side up a good ways, and be able to get the sensor out without having to drain the oil. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE SENSOR WHILE ATV IS SITTING FLAT !!, YOU WILL HAVE A OIL MESS FAST !..LOL. pay attention to the sealing washer that must be on the oil temp sensor when replacing sensor.
  19. first off, the fan must get REALLY HOT before it kicks on. if it will not come on at all ?, this either means the fan control unit is bad ?, or the oil temp sensor is bad ?. or...the fan itself is bad ?. you can test the fan by hooking a 12 volt battery straight to the fan to see if it runs ?. as for the oil light coming on, then going off ?, this is how they work. as for the c.d.i. where did you buy a c.d.i. for it ?, as they are discontinued today, so this tells me you got it from ebay or amazon, and both are chINA junk for one, and for two, most sellers have no clue what they are selling you, cuz they will '' claim '' it works on all years from '86-'89...AND THEY DON'T !. '' most '' trx350D's won't fire the spark plug if the fan control stops working. sooo..you need to sort out the fan control first before you go chasing a spark issue. hopefully you still have the old c.d.i. that you removed from it ?.
  20. yeah..those old 250r's are very rare today, you do not see many of them around.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. 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 ! ).
