Found out on the Ruby you have to let it run no less than 7 minutes or the motor starts to warm up. It fouls out a $15 dollar plug. I know the Rubicon and Rincon use this plug. Do not know how many other models this affects. Also watch how long the choke is on. These plugs are real easy to foul out.

Good info. I'll have to tell my friend who has a Rubicon.

Do you have the spark plug # handy?

      2021 Honda Rubicon shifting issues.
      By Chucksta
      So.. It has now become cranky about changing from "drive" to "reverse". Sometimes it's seamless as it's always been, other times it just goes "click, click....click, click " when going from reverse to forward, or from forward to reverse..  Then it gives up and just stops at neutral.  Only thing that seems to help is to give it a bit of a bump / wiggle with my own weight. Any ideas as to what to check? It's low miules / hours .. Dealership maintained..

      2022/23 Honda Rubicon Exhaust deflector???
      By Guest
      I have a 2022/23 Honda Rubicon, and was wondering if there is an exhaust deflector available.  I have a rear basket w/ chainsaw mounts, a winch on the rear, and a hitch.  When I am working at the rear of the quad, the exhaust puffs and hits us, while we work.  It is quite annoying and wound like to be able to direct the exhaust downward.  Is there anything that you know of that would work w/o creating any back pressure that might disrupt the engine?  I’ve been searching for something like this, but can only find ones for small engines and silencers that would interfere with the winch.

      What kind of oil do you use in your Honda?
      By p5200
      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

      2002 Honda Rubicon No spark, “- -“ on display screen instead of gear position.
      By hporter1208
      Okay, so I have a 2002 Rubicon 500…bought it last year and it sat for several months until I put a new rear axle in, FINALLY got that done and was super excited to finally have my wheeler going, just to notice a strong gas odor. Popped the seat off and sure enough, pouring gas from the carb overflow. Fast forward a few more weeks and get the new carb and get it in, no leak! Yay. Except now I have no spark. 😒 I’ve tried another plug and checked and am getting no power to the coil pack. I’ve read and read and mostly what I’ve found is ECU, which is fine…but I like to exhaust all avenues before buying the more expensive parts just because I don’t wanna spend the money and it have ended up being something simple that I overlooked because I was trying to rush. 😂 I don’t know if it’s relevant, but I read on another post that someone had similar issues with theirs and it was the sensor on the side of the carb, just a thought since this literally happened after I put the new carb on. It also displays “- -“ on the display screen where it should show the gear position.
