jeepwm69 6,390 Posted September 6, 2021 I got a 300 stripped down Saturday morning that I am going to do a rebuild on. Thank the engine is OK, but front and rear ends were both gone and the frame had been welded on so going to piece it back together with another 300 parts bike. Spent Saturday afternoon cleaning up around the outside of the house. Took a ride yesterday after church, Plan on working on that 300 again while the little one naps this afternoon. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeepwm69 6,390 Posted September 7, 2021 Got engine and rear end installed in frame of this 300. Think the front diff might need a little work..... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bighanded 1,069 Posted September 6, 2022 sorry for the late reply guys...was off busy having fun (grin)....old college buddy and his wife were up to stay with us over the weekend.. The wife suggested us boys go ride the hondas for a bit and he got this big grin on his face...so I went out and opened the garage..told him to give me a minute and I'd pull the 300 around for him...I hadn't started my old CT90 in about a month, so figured i might need a minute..anyway..he was anxious..he followed me out and hopped on the old blue beast...so i handed him the keys, refreshed his knowledge on operation and off he ran...leaving me behind at the garage... I chuckled to myself and quietly encouraged my lil red wonder that she needed to fire up so we could go catch up with him and keep him out of trouble...took a half dozen kicks but she came to life and off we ran...I tend to not ride that ol bike that often and then my mind wanders to thoughts of selling it..then I do hop on it and remember how fun that small underpowered lil wonder can be....guess I should keep it til I'm too old to kick start it 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeepwm69 6,390 Posted September 7, 2022 Little one and wife were both sick all weekend. I managed to get the rebuilt engine swapped into my 09 Foreman, still getting the little stuff put back on, but it runs and sounds good. Has a 15% primary reduction in it this time. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My memory is fading , Brain Fog ---- so 15% is a 300 direct drop in ? I have one in my 2002 450 and forgot what I used , think it is actually a 14.5% reduction when you crunch the numbers ---- my 2000 450 is 34.5% reduction , seem to remember it is a fabricated primary by Reduction Boss and I drilled the rivets of the clutch basket and tapped the holes for a 300 EX basket ring gear 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 500 is different, had to get Chris Clark to make me this one. Not sure what gear he used, but he primary is welded, so wasn't a drop in primary gear. He did a 15% secondary for me too for my 06 (which I've been running for awhile now). He said he doesn't want to do anymore 500 GR's, LOL. Apparently they were a PITA. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
