JMHZ2401 0 Posted September 21 I'm new here, I have a 2003 Honda recon for my son and I recently got a 2005 Honda Rancher 350es 4x4. It is rough around the edges but runs. Technically have a 2005 Honda Foreman 450 that the motor locked up on, pretty sure it either broke the rod or crank. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeepwm69 7,744 Posted September 22 Welcome aboard. The 500 foreman started in 2005 with the 450 being discontinued in 2004. Does your machine have an aerodynamic top headlight or is it squared off? I have a 2005–2011 engine rebuild thread that goes through tearing one down and replacing the crank. Vince at Mr crankshaft can rebuild a crankshaft much cheaper than buying new and will be much better than buying hot rods which are made in Taiwan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
