Simple man Simple ATV i want it like me Old and Strong LOL but i need it to run longer !!! That’s what we all said…..at first. Then something breaks and you figure “If I’m replacing that part, why not?” I don’t have anything as extreme as Fishfiles, but I did put a lift, 28’s, and a gear reduction in one of my 500’s. Extra ground clearance is nice. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,611 Posted July 22, 2022 For example @Popa Fry, I believe a Honda TRX300 primary gear and clutch basket will install directly into your 400 motor, and lower your gearing by about 15% ( @Fishfiles might want to confirm that). You then have lower gear ratio, which gives you more grunt, OR you can go bigger on your tires and have your stock gearing with a little more ground clearance. And that's how it begins. Next thing you know, you have a monster ATV like Fishfiles! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Popa Fry 62 Posted July 22, 2022 Great information but for now i don"t see it happening ..... have a nice 1999 300 4trax sitting here but with the 400 running it most likely will find a new home come hunting season.... That will help pay for the rebuild and getting the 400 going LOL You men enjoy i have a limited budget to go along with my conservative views .....the more i change add on and non stock items the more likely I will screw something up.. FOR ME I USE THE KISS principal !! KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Popa Fry 62 Posted July 22, 2022 Located Central Kentucky I bought it out of a boys garage when i was asking everyone around if they knew if a Honda was for sale I had been looking on Craigs list and after i sold the Polaris I fixed up Carb-tires-stator -Cdi-coil--clean up paint racks ) i was wanting a Honda 400 -- came across the 300 and was told it just needs brake adjustment ( You men know the rest ) it was reasonable price not cheap --Long story short replaced rear axel and bearings brake drum-shoes -etc. ( I did not know you could ride one with the drum froze up) carb kit and [ VIOLA ] a decent ride starts and runs so good hate to get rid of it but don't have a place to store it and really don' NEED it Price goes up at hunting time LOL 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess your a master at that too lol between Pints Yeah I have one old snowmobile left, a 1998 Arctic Cat, mostly stock and fully prepped during a complete teardown in like new condition (except last winter a seam in the seat came apart). I use to enjoy ripping around on them a lot, but these last two winters I suddenly lost interest (I'm 65 years old now) in playing with high speeds. I barely burn through one tank of gas all season now. I love my little Honda Rancher 350 though, I ride it an awful lot. Got 3000 miles added to the odometer in the four seasons I've had it, probably 1/3 of those miles riding through woods where there are no trails at all setting up and tending cameras and bear and deer hunting stands for myself and lately, several of my buddies. My best hunting buddy and I will begin putting out our september bear hunting setups next weekend. That'll kick off our busy season that runs through the 17th-18th of November. Beer does go very well with all that fun as you know.... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Popa Fry 62 Posted July 23, 2022 i understand about age-vs cold i used to go deer hunting regardless of temp but now i prefer to get my deer early i still go out if it's not below 20 degrees....never been bear hunting when I was younger and only hunted with my bow I said I would do that some day just never got around to it ... we don't have bear in these parts.. I have never been to the upper peninsula and looking at a map you are at the top ... 797 miles north from my house in Kentucky according to Google.. Good luck with your hunting. We can hunt deer in September but i believe it is to HOT lol it's about meat spoiling.. some idiots believe they can kill a deer that time of year and then go show it to their buddies instead of skinning and quartering it or get it to a cooler ... sorry my rant!! Hey men look forward to hearing from all of you about Honda ATV"s - Food - [ Woxxx (to old for that besides my wife of 50 years might object ] May our trails be smooth and our hunts successful and Gods Blessings on us all !!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
