Wheels looked in good condition and you could still see the tips on the tires. I have 3 very rough ones I planned on making into one, with this one I could have made 2. Mist likely I'll see it in a few weeks to get an estimate on making it run. it wont come cheap if it has to be bored over, cam chain, top end gasket ( complete engine gasket if you tear them down like I do ), oil seals, maybe piston kit ?, it adds up fast !.

I know when your done, it will look & run like new! unless your in Canada ?, honda does not '' see '' a 1992 trx350d foreman 4x4 model in their service manuals !!. u.s.a. only '' see's '' up to 1989 models. if you do a lot of heavy/tough work ?, then this model is the best, it does not ride or turn very good ?, but it sure will do what you ask of it when it comes to working !!. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I figured I would see it. It has a stuck/bent intake valve. Inside of the motor looks like new so I'm just doing a simple top end overhaul to get him going.

Sorry for taking it off topic shadetree, I just wanted to share the missed deal. meh, all good bro , its good to see classic atvs !. you better check the piston for damage ?, if the intake valve is bent ?, more than likely it struck the piston. and most times when a valve gets bent ?, its because of a bad cam chain , out of time ?, or bad connecting rod ?. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
