Do I need to buy this o ring to? It doesn't come in this set 

East Lake Axle replacement for Front wheel bearings & seals kit Honda TRX 400/450 1995 1996 1997 1998-2004 https://a.co/d/gDt3mYN

Which wheel bearings brand is best?

Also, I know 2 seals come with each bearings. But there is also a small seal, what is it for?

That's intriguing analysis. Thanks 

South Florida.

How much it worth?

Pros: looking decent.

Cons
No brakes.
Front wheel bearings are shot.
Idles, but sometimes will shot off. Most likely when cold.
Gas smell and little bit steam in the air filter box when I started it.
Display screen won't work.
Tires are dry with cracks.


Not sure if has title, I will check and update.

How much do you think it worth?

Where to apply it? There are to many connectors...

I have Honda foreman rubicon 2022

Permatex has a good name here in N.Z.

Grease, whether that stuff or a petroleum grease, keep water out and off components and so maintains the existing air gap. It's the gap between wires or conductors that is maintained by varnish, rubber, plastic or grease that prevents electrical leaks and shorts.

That grease, and common old vaseline, are both non-conductive and will prevent water ingress. They both prevent corrosion.

It's important to understand though that there is a difference between non-conducting, and insulation. All non conducting grease can become a insulator if it prevents components from contacting.

Both vaseline and silicon based greases are non conductive, they are both dielectric, and so if we apply them to poorly fitting or contacting contacts, such as non-sliding switch contacts, we do run the risk of causing a non-conduction situation.

It works best to fill electrical plugs with the grease to keep dirt and water out, but switches and rubber boots really only need a smear. Vaselene, or silicon grease, will both prevent water getting into rubber boots by virtue of the water surface tension, we don't need to fill the boots on spark plug caps, just a bit rubbed over the outside of the boot right to where it contacts the porcelain works fine.

Regular automotive greases would do the same job but some of them have additives that are in there to support heavy loads and provide a gap so the grease doesn't get squeezed out. Those additives can easily hold  contacts apart and prevent conduction. Other automotive greases have compounds in them that can conduct electricity, so while they might waterproof, they can cause shorts. Don't use regular auto lubricating greases.

The chief advantage of the silicon based greases is that they can stand higher temperatures before becoming inflammable.

The silicon grease is a good lubricant in extreme temperature situations, but, we don't really get any temperatures so high as to need it any place we want to lube in the automotive world. It's high temperature benefits aren't needed for most waterproofing situations either.

I fill already plugged in connectors with petroleum jelly/grease. I smear a little on switches for lubrication mainly and to water-proof them. I rub it on rubber boots and leads to prevent moisture getting in. Apart from keeping dirt out of the plug connectors, I'm depending on the water's surface tension to prevent water creeping in in most applications.

Vaseline/petrolium grease is just as good as silicon grease, and more handy to have around.

 

 

I couldn't ask for more detailed professional answer. 

So if I understand right, I should NOT disconnect and apply the grease in between the two connectors,. What I should do only to apply/rub the grease around them for isolation. 

Hi,

I have some mudding/water creeks questions guys,

Other than spark plug booth, where should I apply this grease? 

I wonder if there is a spray form, maybe it would be easier just to spray?

Do I need to disconnect the connectors, or is it good enough to spray/apply around the connectors?

Also, is this grease considered a good brand? 

And what about the outlander? Any issues?

Also in which parts should I use it?  

Thanks for the great advice 

Which ones? From your experience, which one are the best and would fit 2022 Honda foreman rubicon?

Fill electrical connectors up with vaseline or white petroleum jelly(same things) and it will waterproof them. I used to put it all over my HT leads and cap too and could go through water up to the handlebars on my old two wheelers.

Is there any spray you can used for the connectors?

I use ArmorAll or similar vinyl preservative on the plastics, and keep the engine polished with Colonial Brassy or Wizards metal polish, I haven't had any problems. Just don't let it stay on there very long some mud can be very acidic.

You mean I should let the mud stay long? Or the chemicals?

I will try the ArmorAll  preservative on the plastics, and keep the Wizards metal polish ro for the other parts.

How should I keep the harness and connector protected from mud/water?

Hi

Are you using any spray to prevent mud from sticking to the ATV.

Both plastics, and engine.

Yeah, I have heard about reputation about Polaris but personally I really like Honda Rancher. It is way more powerful and stylish. 

I guess you meant the other way 

I just sold my Sportsman 570 EPS. Very comfortable. Not sure if powerful enough. But great ride overall 

Wins for what? Holding value as used?

As far as I checked, new Polaris and Honda MSRP are similar.

But, I just wonder about their value as second hand. 

I live in Florida, United States. 

I know there are many Polaris on the market. But also Polaris sells more than Honda. So it make sense more Polaris are available for buying. 

I was looking to buy a new ATV. 

I was debating between Polaris sportsman 450 and Honda rancher.

Polaris it a bit cheaper.

But can you tell me which one will have more demand on the used market? Which one will keep it's value better?

Let's say 3-5 years from now.

As for the stalling when hit the gas. I believe it doesn't matter if it's cold or warm. I would stall anytime before move. 

However, if I hold the brakes while keeping the gas a little bit pushed, and simultaneously release the brakes, it won't stall! 

I have single cylinder 2018 Polaris sportsman 570. Spark plug is new with good gap. But I'll check again just in case.

Thanks. When you say fuel additive, do you mean Seafoam or any other carbon clear (and fuel stabilizer).?

More detailes:

It 2018 Polaris sportsman 570 efi. t

It will crank right up and idle no matter if cold or not, no matter if was sitting for one minute one day or two weeks..

But!! once you push the throttle to start moving is will stall. Forward and backwards.

When cold it happenes a little bit more frequent. But definitely happens when engine warm too.

Only in this case!
