How far do you go for maintainance?

Why are you replacing the air box? Are you going with the new setup?

No.. Back when I rolled it years ago the box broke off the crankcase breather hose fitting. I had glued it back on and kept the original box. I noticed a bit ago that it had broken free again so I just ordered a new box and filter to replace it.

I'm keeping the quad stock. It works really well as is. It even still has the stock front air intake setup. Perhaps I'll consider a snorkel setup next year if I find it necessary.

Oil change after every third ride or about 10-12 hours. Air filter gets cleaned and reoiled with the oil change. After a wash i remove plastics for a quick check of nuts amd bolts etc. Tire pressure, chain tension, and axle nut gets checked before every ride. Brake and clutch play are noted during a ride and adjusted accordingly

for maintenance, I go to my garage. I have been working on ATVs since I was a kid, with my father. Now I own/operate SRP Machine in South Mills, NC. I have clients who drive all the way down from NY to have me rebuild their engines, and have had motors shipped from Canada for porting. For quality maintenance, there is no distance too great. The key is to find an honest, experienced technician. If anybody is looking for one, please visit me at MX Performance Parts | SRP Machine | Call 252-771-0019.

I know with my Honda 400ex the engine oil also is used for the transmission and clutches. I now run a 500cc motor with almost twice the power. Heat, since its air cooled breaks down oil much quicker. I dont send my oil out for analysis so its hard to tell when I should change it. My rule of thumb is after the third ride. Plus my bike sometimes sits a month or so between rides which isnt good either.

      Sorry, bit of newbie question on Honda TRX520
      Can anyone tell me if it is necessary to drain the engine oil to just remove the oil filter cover?
      I recently carried out an oil change and when checking afterwards, found oil leaking from around the oil filter cover (was torqued to 10Nm). I am going to get new O rings to be on the safe side, but was wondering how high the oil level in the engine sits relative to the pump filter and do I have to drain the oil?
      TIA

      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 ordered an ATV through ElectriRide a ( Pioneer 1500w Power E-Grizzly Electric ATV ), on February 13, 2024.  They ( ElectriRide ), ordered it from the manufacture on February 28, 2024. Not sure when it shipped, but it arrive here at my house on June 25, 2024.  I live in Hawaii.
      Unpacking it, I quickly became aware that this was not the ATV that I ordered.  The package had some damaged, but not major.  After unpacking it, it was very obvious that this was not the ATV that I had ordered, plus it was missing some a number of parts, namely the rear rack & no instruction or electrical circuit layout, just to name a few.  A couple of days later I found ( 2 ) small two burnt holes in the upper frame, right side, also.  Several days later I tried to charge the batteries on the ATV, after plugging it in for over 4  hours, “NO CHARGE” , I checked the charger’s output voltage, it read “ “ 0 “ volts, the charger needs to be replaced also.
      The next day, I reported all of this to ElectriRide, & they asked for photos, which I later that day send to them.  They said they would look into it and get back to me. For the last 2 1/2 weeks, I have been calling them (playing phone tag ) & emailing them, basically getting the same message back from them.  They sent me e-mails “ we will get back to you “ or “ Please rest assured that we are committed to resolving this matter to your satisfaction. “.  As of today, that message was 10 day ago, and it’s been 3 weeks after receiving the wrong ATV.  And 5 months from the time of ordering the ATV.
      The ATV that this looks the most similar/closest to the one that I received is the ( Pioneer 48v 1000w Adult ATV Electric ) in their catalog, but there are a number of differences to it also.  ( Mostly it’s a 1000 watts motor, not a 1500 watts motor ATV, plus a number of other things also ).  The suspension & wheels are completely different, along with some of the electrical components, and it was missing the rear rack also.  Along with some other minor things.
      I seem to be getting nowhere with communicating with them, (ElectriRide ) in getting this mix-up / changes resolved after calling / emailing them pretty much daily for over 3+ weeks, I am turning to you, the ATV community for any suggestions for helping me to solve my problem.
      Please leave any suggestion / ideas, you thing might help me solve this problem, or who to contact that might be able to help..

      Oil is getting in the air box from crankcase vent tube, I put the two hoses that go to the air box together then something started to smoke on the front of the engine. There is a filter? In the line I blew that out.
