04 Honda Foreman 500 turns die when select gear

Es posible que la biela esté doblada y/o el pistón roto ya que el motor estaba en marcha cuando se hundió. Mi opinión es que es posible que una biela doblada sea la razón por la cual su motor no funciona cuando se cambia de marcha, ya que con una biela doblada el pistón no llega a la parte superior del cilindro. Por tanto, la presión de compresión puede ser mucho menor de lo normal si la varilla está doblada. Una presión de compresión débil da como resultado una disminución de la potencia... su motor se detiene cuando encuentra una carga, por lo que una varilla doblada podría explicar por qué.

 

No estoy diciendo que su motor tenga una varilla doblada, solo digo que es posible que la tenga, y si tiene una varilla doblada, puede esperar que apenas funcione, si es que funciona, dependiendo de la gravedad. Si la varilla está doblada, será necesario dividir las cajas y reemplazar el conjunto cigüeñal/varilla. La única forma de saber si está doblado es quitar el cilindro e inspeccionar la varilla y el pistón.

 

Como han aconsejado otros, el motor debe desmontarse para limpiarlo de todos modos.

That's a very good explanation you give me, I'm going to try and if possible I'll change the connecting rod along with the top end and valve train to make sure everything is in optimal working order.

This forum has been very helpful, I thank you all

I'm waiting for my new ECU, and I've already taken on the task of looking for spare parts for the crankshaft and connecting rod, as well as the top end.

I will keep you informed of my progress

The crankshaft will be pricey.  There is a guy who rebuilds cranks and does excellent work.  Vince at www.mrcrankshaft.com.   He will install a new Vesrah (made in Japan) connecting rod on your old crank, clean it and true it.   Much cheaper than a new crank.

 

The top end you'll need to find a machine shop who can bore your existing cylinder to a new piston.

El cigüeñal será caro. Hay un tipo que reconstruye bielas y hace un trabajo excelente. Vince en www.mrcrankshaft.com. Él instalará una nueva biela Vesrah (fabricada en Japón) en su manivela vieja, la limpiará y la ajustará. Mucho más barato que una manivela nueva.

 

En el extremo superior, necesitará encontrar un taller mecánico que pueda perforar su cilindro existente para convertirlo en un pistón nuevo. 

What would be the clearance that should be made to my cylinder in the workshop?

I have never opened that engine, I have had my Rubi for 3 years

It will depend on the wear to the cylinder.  A good machine shop should be able to measure your cylinder, figure out how much oversized they will have to bore it to get it back to perfectly round again, and then tell you what sized piston to buy, and then they will bore the cylinder to match the piston (they will measure the piston to make sure it's exactly round, and the dimensions it's supposed to be, then bore the cylinder to match the piston)

 

My normal guy is backed up, so I sent my last top end to these people.  They do good work.  If you send your cylinder to them, they will do what is needed and return it to you.   Shipping will likely be expensive though since you are in Mexico.  I would do some looking close to you and find a reputable shop who can do machine work on engines.

Here in Mexico I don't know anyone who specializes in ATVs or engine rebuilding, I would choose to quote and send it to the USA to be machined there, what brand of piston do you recommend I buy?
I will also take the opportunity to change my new valves and leave that rubi like new

I prefer Shindy, but they don't list a piston for the 01-14 Rubicon.  I used Namura on my Rubicon, and it seems to be ok thus far.

 

I just looked up part numbers, and Namura's website shows that the Rubicon and 05-11 Foreman FM/TM/FE use the same piston, so if that's the case, then a Shindy piston for those Foreman models should work.

 

I did just sent an email to Shindy asking for confirmation.

One thing about Numura, they go up to 1.5MM oversized, where Shindy only goes to 1.00MM oversized

Prefiero Shindy, pero no incluyen un pistón para el Rubicon 01-14. Utilicé Namura en mi Rubicón y hasta ahora parece estar bien.

 

Acabo de buscar números de pieza y el sitio web de Namura muestra que el Rubicon y el Foreman FM/TM/FE 05-11 usan el mismo pistón, así que si ese es el caso, entonces un pistón Shindy para esos modelos Foreman debería funcionar.

 

Acabo de enviar un correo electrónico a Shindy pidiendo confirmación.

Una cosa acerca de Numura es que llegan hasta 1,5 mm de gran tamaño, mientras que Shindy solo llega a 1,00 mm de gran tamaño.


I can go for a Namura, I've seen reviews on them, and they look very good quality, and they're not really expensive, just as with them I can buy new packaging from my top end

Also through eBay you can request them with shipping to Mexico

Just remember, you have to have your cylinder measured so you know which sized piston to order.  

 

Or, if you send to G&H, they will measure for you and use the correct piston (which was Namura when I sent my top end to them)

I may be able to help you but I am busy today. I will try to come back tomorrow.

 

Are all of the electrical parts on your Rubicon genuine Honda parts? Aftermarket parts do not work at all so you must be sure!

 

Quizás pueda ayudarte, pero hoy estoy ocupado. Intentaré volver mañana.

 

¿Todas las piezas eléctricas de su Rubicon son piezas originales de Honda? Las piezas de repuesto no funcionan en absoluto, ¡así que debes estar seguro!

Hello, yes, they are all Honda Oem, I previously used an angle sensor from Amazon and I did not have any problems, I have taken on the task of installing the Oem parts and the problem will continue.

With the motor running, does your Rubicon try to move when you shift into D1, D2, or R?

 

Take the spark plug out and lay it on the motor with the spark plug wire plugged into the spark plug. Turn the ignition switch on, shift into D1, then use the recoil starter rope to crank the motor over.... do you see spark across the spark plug gap while you are pulling on the recoil rope?

 

Con el motor en marcha, ¿intenta su Rubicon moverse cuando cambia a D1, D2 o R?

 

Saque la bujía y colóquela en el motor con el cable de la bujía enchufado a la bujía. Encienda el interruptor de encendido, cambie a D1, luego use la cuerda del arrancador de retroceso para hacer girar el motor... ¿Ve chispas a través del espacio de la bujía mientras tira de la cuerda de retroceso?

Hello, the engine does start, in N it keeps working at idle fine, when changing to D or R the engine turns off immediately, the central screen shows D1, D2 and ESP, but the shutdown problem continues to persist.

@toodeep, do you think a bad gear position switch could cause the ignition to shut down?

Could it be one of these in the image?

 

Yes, part number 6, Reverse Switch 35370-HN2-005.

https://www.partzilla.com/product/honda/35370-HN2-005

 

I am only guessing though, I do not know for certain if a bad Reverse switch could cause the motor to die when shifting into gear, or not? This is what I would do....
 

  • Remove the Reverse switch from the gear shifter and try to clean it with electrical parts cleaner solvent or brake parts cleaner solvent, then test it to be sure it works -- then reinstall it onto the gear shifter. If the Reverse switch is bad you'll need to replace it.
  • Check the switch on the underside of the Front Brake lever (right side of handlebar) and be sure that the front brake lever returns completely when releasing the front brakes. Does the brake lights work? If the brake lights turn on and turn off properly, then that switch is probably good.
  • Unplug and test the Gear Position switch.
  • Unplug and test the ESP switch.
  • Reinstall all of the genuine OEM Honda parts that you replaced, including the carburetor, if you have not done so yet.
  • Finally, you must Initialize the ECM (Initial Setting Procedure) since the Angle sensor and Carburetor were removed and replaced.

I will include test procedures from the service manual in the next post.

 

Sí, número de pieza 6, interruptor de marcha atrás 35370-HN2-005.

https://www.partzilla.com/product/honda/35370-HN2-005

Sin embargo, solo estoy adivinando, no sé con certeza si un interruptor de marcha atrás defectuoso podría causar que el motor se apague al cambiar de marcha, o no. Esto es lo que yo haría....

 

  • Retire el interruptor de marcha atrás de la palanca de cambios e intente limpiarlo con solvente limpiador de piezas eléctricas o solvente limpiador de piezas de frenos, luego pruébelo para asegurarse de que funcione y luego vuelva a instalarlo en la palanca de cambios. Si el interruptor de marcha atrás está averiado, deberás reemplazarlo.
  • Verifique el interruptor en la parte inferior de la palanca del freno delantero (lado derecho del manillar) y asegúrese de que la palanca del freno delantero regrese completamente al soltar los frenos delanteros. ¿Funcionan las luces de freno? Si las luces de freno se encienden y apagan correctamente, entonces ese interruptor probablemente esté en buen estado.
  • Desenchufe y pruebe el interruptor de posición de marcha.
  • Desenchufe y pruebe el interruptor ESP.
  • Vuelva a instalar todas las piezas originales de Honda OEM que reemplazó, incluido el carburador, si aún no lo ha hecho.
  • Finalmente, debe inicializar el ECM (procedimiento de configuración inicial) ya que se quitaron y reemplazaron el sensor de ángulo y el carburador.

 

Incluiré procedimientos de prueba del manual de servicio en la próxima publicación.
