Heres my story. Kinda long. I guess I was a late bloomer when it comes to quads. I had never ridden a quad in my life. Rode Dirt Bikes as a kid growing up. Back in Oct of '06 I found a Mustang on craigslist. Took it for a test drive one morning before work. Fast car. 351 Cleveland. I had planned on meeting the guy again after work. For some strange reason thats still to this day beyond me, I stopped in Hillsboro MotoSports on the way home from work. I had 6 Grand on me. There was a left over '05 sitting by the front door. It was on sale for $4999. It was $5499 OTD. I didnt even look at anything else. I knew nothing about quads accept I thought it really looked coool and I had the money in my pocket to buy it. I was sitting on it when the salesman walked up and asked... "Can I help you?" Without hestitation I pulled 60 Ben Franklins outta my front pocket and said "I want this Quad. Load it up in my truck." It was just about dark by the time I drove away from the shop. BTW, I didnt bother to ask my ol lady if I could buy it. LOL. Anyway, I took it by the house and showed her. She was kinda stunned but not mad. We drove over to a friend of mines house and unloaded it. I took it to the field across the street from his house. HOLY CHIT!!!!! I was surprised by the power. I had it for about 2 weeks and took it to Sand Lake. I was there a few hours and rolled it on a banked turn at the top of the bowl right before you get to the one-ways. When it rolled, I flew off and landed on my belly. The quad came bouncing and landed on my back. For a month I couldnt even walk. I was scared of it. I considered trading it for a 250EX. Went back to the shop. The salesman said..."Dude!!! You dont want a 250EX!!! Trust me. Just get used to it" I still wasnt convinced. I put it on craigslist for $4000. Calls were coming in. I had a guy that wanted to come look at it that evening. I decided to take it for one last ride at Browns Camp before I sold it. I was still afraid of it. After about 5 minutes I started feeling comfortable on it again. I decided right then, I loved my Honda 450 and would learn how to ride it instead of selling it. That was late Nov of '06. Work was slow for a Painter in Oregon. My new job everyday? Going to Browns Camp and ridding my Quad. I bought my Girl Friend an '02 Blaster. I rode my 450 for 4-6 hours almost every single day for 3 months. And yes, I know my way around Browns Camp pretty well. LOL. In March I bought her an '06 TRX250EX (Thank God I didnt trade my 450 for one of those) LOL Since then, I have become totally addicted to quads. I love them. Couldnt imagine not owning at least one quad. Luckily I have two. My "07 was $6500 OTD in July of '07. Bought it for my Girlfriend. Traded in her 250 EX. A month later we broke up. So, I wound up with two Honda 450's.

Hi. I am looking to purchase an ATV for a Bahamian island called Bimini. It is 50 miles from Miami. I am looking for something that will ride the beaches without getting stuck. There is lots of shoreline with some mangroves, vegetation. So will probably need 4x4 for that area. But I ready somewhere that the the extra weight of the 4x4 in the front of an ATV will weigh down traveling on teh beach and make it more susceptible to getting stuck? I would think you'd want 4x4 for beach sand. I would also like to use this ATV to pull a small trailer for bringing trash to the local dump. I am considering the Honda 420 4x4 with foot shift (dont want to fix ES on an Island). I am also considering the Honda Foreman for the pulling capacity but I'm concerned that the extra weight of the Foreman will be prone to getting stuck in beach sand. Anyone have an opinion?

2000 honda trx300ex. It's been sounding like it's been cranking too fast and not hitting at all. I took the 2 valve adjustment caps off and while cranking, the valves don't move at all. Getting good spark and fuel. Surely, there should be movement with the valves opening and closing. Am I correct on this assumption? Thanks folks!

Ok. Here goes nothing. I have a Franken bike. It's half 99 half 01. Not really a big deal. So the lady I got the bikes from said it jumped time and won't start. One bike is complete and assembled the other is in pieces but there. I have had these for two years. I immediately did a tear down and rebuild. I went over everything. Well fast forward to now. I found that she only had 4 head bolts in it . That is why it jumped and also why she said the timing chain had to be real tight. I can get it timed well enough to start and idle rough. I've replaced bout everything. Compmetely new head and all head components. Upper cam gear, chain,cam,the whole thing. It won't line up matter what I do. The timing marks are just a wee bit off. It won't rev just backfires and dies. I've had the bikes for two years and can't get it. Great spark-built a bare bones harness myself. Great fuel-rebuilt the mikuni and bought an aftermarket, same outcome. I ha e half of mind to sell the two and but something else. PlEase help. The wife might kill me if I work on it anymore. Idk
