What ATV should I get


Recommended Posts

Our family has a 1996 Honda fourtrax 300 and I really like it, it is small easy to work on, and we have had to do nothing but routine mantenance on it. I am looking for a atv for myself to make small modifications to. I like instruments for oil, rpm, volts, etc. 4x4 is a must. I don't like the prices of these new ones, so $1,000 -$2,000 would be my price range. What would be a good atv to look for in this price range?

wylde1, thanks for the advice.

Has anyone ever added a analog tach, pictures?

No problem. It's tough to answer that question because what I think is an awesome quad you might get and then find out that it is not comfortable. Ergonomics are different on certain machines and not everyone is built the same. Research is the key and the internet makes it easy to find information.:yes:

Maybe a late 90s honda foreman? They are around 2500 - 3000 around me on LI NY. So it should be cheaper elsewhere

You can search for Polaris Magnum, Trail Boss, or Scrambler. All lot of those rigs are in that price range. Parts are pretty easy to get. Some are two stroke, some are 4 stroke. If the gauges don't work, I wouldn't waste money trying to fix them. I would just pick up a trail tech vapor (about $75) and it'll give you rpm, mph, odometer, etc.

Thanks for the info. I want a a utility. 4x4 isn't completely necessary but can be handy around here.

hey man go to craigslist: atlanta classifieds for jobs, apartments, personals, for sale, services, community, and events and look for the type of quad u want it will be under motorcycles..... u can find good deals from owners and dealers...... u can also check the city to look in tht is in ur state or anouther:yes:

      Just aquired this Honda 4514. I had heard of them and seen them but had never really looked at one. Amazing machine from the 90s.
      It has a 14 HP inline 2 cylinder engine. A cute little fan like the old school cars had and a little radiator. It has a timing belt on the back of the engine running the cam and a water pump. Just like a miniature car engine with  electronic clutches to turn blades on and off. Pretty hight tech for the 90s not a small thing and built like a tank weighs in at 600 pds hydrostatic trans. I have found out that almost anything you have to do to it the engine has to come out starter timing belt water pump. Very expensive parts i think most got junked for that reason, i did find out they were built by John Deere except for the honda engine.
      Does anyone here have any expierience with these.

      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
