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?

do some research, maybe on ebay to see what is available in that price range. You definately want to get something that isn't going to cost a lot of money to repair or maintain and something that you feel comfortable on. Having an ATV that is comfortable to you makes a big difference.

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

H e is from Kentucky and they have some of the highest resale values on used atvs in the nation. So price could be a problem.

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:

      I have a 2009 Honda Rancher TRX420FA with shifting problems.
      Usually it shifts ok when cold but after couple minutes it will stop shifting with no codes.
      The 1st shift clutch oil pressure when in first gear is 74psi. The 2nd shift clutch oil pressure when in second gear is 74psi.
      The 1st shift clutch oil pressure when in neutral is zero. The problem is when the tranny is in neutral the 2nd shift clutch pressure starts around 10-15psi and builds to 20psi. Is this normal?

      Hi everyone and thanks for reading. 
      My husband and me are getting ready to host the 2nd Quad Runners event at our nudist campground. The first one (last year) went pretty well with about 20 quads attending and have to say, it was a smaller group, but they made up for their size with the large interest in partying and there was plenty of nudity as the Saturday night went on. 
      We have decided to host another one this summer, but we are looking for some fun (but safe) riding events. Our grounds are almost all flat and remember we are a nudist campground so many of us are bare as* naked so "slow ride" events would be the best. 
      Give us your thoughts and ideas and feel free to ask us anything you would like, and we will answer right here in the thread. 
      Thanks for your help and ride safe. 
      BTW, let us know what "anything goes" means for this thread section.

      Hi all, 

      I am wondering if any of you have a Clutch Starter gear from a 1988 era quadrunner 250 sitting around that you could get me a precise measurement of the outer diameter of the race the sprag engages onto, for me? I need to machine a damaged race down and install a hardened sleeve and need that measurement (it's on a different gear than the OEM one, so I can't buy and use a OEM gear).

      Hey guys, so I've been messing with my quad, and between all the starts, the battery is dead. Is there a certain way to charge these? Can I just throw a trickle charger on it and call it a day? can i also jump it like a normal car with a battery pack or is that to much voltage
