I've been using Valvolene 10w 40 ATV oil but, it's like $8.00 a quart. Is that about the going rate? Or is there cheaper alternatives that would be suitable? Thanks

I use Mobile-1  10w-30 synthetic oil from Walmart in my equipment. It's $60 for a 12qt cardboard container, 10-40w is the same price.

Hm; so no need for expensive Honda approved oil?
How about oil filters? Any other place where to get them cheaper, or, is it a bad idea? I know in cars some filters, even brand names are awful and my mechanic said to be very careful which ones I use.

I think Mobile-1 is one of the best out there, i have been using it in my cars since the 90s with great results, havent used in in ATV because it doesnt meet the specs listed in the manual. Glad to hear its wokjing for you with no issues, i was always cautious because of clutch slippage. I will try it on my next oil change.

If the honda has a hydrostatic transmission I would recommend OEM honda GN4 oil, 10W-40 for most hondas 2003 and older and 10W-30 for most 2004 and newer. Hiflo oil filters are a good aftermarket option.

      What would make it surge the one tire? King Quad 300 "97
      By Chucksta
      So.. it a weird one.. The quad surges as you go down the road. By the looks of my tracks, it's one wheel only. High range, low range, 2 wd , 4 wd.. It just doesn't matter.. 
      You can see in the pictures the marks it leaves. That was in a straight line, with hardly any acceleration. 
      Any ideas?

      Thanks for having me.

      Hey all, Thanks for having me in the forum. I just purchased my first ATV and am stoked to understand more about it. 

      The first stupid question will be, what is everyone's maintenance schedule? DO yo follow the recommended intervals or build one yourself based on the machine. 
       
      Thanks in advance.

      Maximizing ATV Storage: Pelican Cases and Clever Alternatives
      By YamahaGrizzly
      When it comes to embarking on thrilling ATV adventures, striking the perfect balance between customization and practicality is key. As you start modifying your ATV to tailor it to your preferences and needs, you might find that you're losing valuable storage space. But fear not! We're here to unravel a storage solution that's been the subject of many inquiries: Pelican cases and their budget-friendly alternatives.
      Losing Storage During Customization
      It's no secret that as you soup up your ATV with exciting modifications like racks, snorkels, or specialized equipment, the available storage space can shrink. This conundrum has sparked a common question among enthusiasts: "How can I keep my storage capacity while enhancing my ride?"
      The Storage Dilemma: Resolved
      Enter the hero of our story: Pelican cases. These rugged, dependable cases are renowned for their durability and waterproofing, making them an excellent choice for ATV storage. Not only do they protect your gear from the elements, but they also offer ample space to stow away essentials securely.
      However, we understand that Pelican cases might not fit everyone's budget. Fear not! A more economical option awaits. While not as renowned as Pelican, there are budget-friendly cases that offer decent protection without burning a hole in your pocket. These alternatives can be a great compromise between affordability and functionality.
      Securing the Solution
      Attaching these cases to your ATV is another crucial step. U-bolts come to the rescue, providing a sturdy way to fasten the cases onto your quad. The key here is to ensure a secure fit that can withstand the rigors of off-road adventures. To take it a step further, silicone the holes where the bolts go through. This creates an extra layer of protection against water infiltration, keeping your gear dry even when the trails get muddy.
      In Conclusion
      As you transform your ATV into the ultimate adventure companion, storage doesn't have to be compromised. Pelican cases offer premium protection for your belongings, while their more affordable counterparts bring similar benefits without breaking the bank. By attaching them securely with U-bolts and employing a bit of silicone magic, you can hit the trails with peace of mind, knowing your essentials are safe and sound.
      So, whether you're venturing into the wilderness or tackling tough terrains, your ATV can now carry both the thrill of customization and the convenience of ample storage. Get ready to rev up and ride out – your gear's in good hands!
      Remember: Modify, store, and conquer – all in one unforgettable ride!

      By autocustomizer76
      Hey all got a Kawasaki 300 that's seen better days I'm looking to get running.  But first, I'm working on a Honda 350 ES and mainly needing where are you all finding quality parts at good prices.  Atvs are really hot items around here right now and most of the folks wanting and needing them are not familiar with working on them.  I'm looking to find a good resource for information and if it works out well pass this group along to the folks I help to get them in the know how to get the most out of their machines.  Thanks in advance.
