Picked up a 1998 Honda Foreman 450ES yesterday for $2100.  It does have 5,000 miles on it but has a rebuilt engine a year ago.  It looks surprisingly good for the miles and year, plastics are still intact with few scuffs and no breaks or tears.  Everything works, goes smoothly thru all 5 gears and reverse.  Brakes seem to stop and grip.  All the functions on the dash and shift assembly do what they are supposed to do.  No oil leaks and honestly very little rust underneath.  There are really two issues, there is a rip in the front of the seat cushion but covered with black tape and she needs tires pretty badly.  Other than that very happy.  What do you think?

      2009 Honda Rancher TRX420FA with shifting problems
      By Cj Winds
      I have a 2009 Honda Rancher TRX420FA with shifting problems.
      Usually it shifts ok when cold but after couple minutes it will stop shifting with no codes.
      The 1st shift clutch oil pressure when in first gear is 74psi. The 2nd shift clutch oil pressure when in second gear is 74psi.
      The 1st shift clutch oil pressure when in neutral is zero. The problem is when the tranny is in neutral the 2nd shift clutch pressure starts around 10-15psi and builds to 20psi. Is this normal?

      2000 honda recon battery charging
      By Mikey509
      Hey guys, so I've been messing with my quad, and between all the starts, the battery is dead. Is there a certain way to charge these? Can I just throw a trickle charger on it and call it a day? can i also jump it like a normal car with a battery pack or is that to much voltage

      2014-2023 Rancher 420 Plastics - New
      By 88classic
      I have (2) sets of brand new plastics available for Honda Rancher 420 2014-2023. These are genuine genuine OEM Honda plastics. One set is white and the other set is green. The boxes these are in are too big to ship.(Unless you want to pay for it. If so, lookup your own shipping rates from 17325 and box size is 58"x35"x18").  $400
