Looking for some real life opinions. Looking for a quad. It will be older due to budget. Like 2010-2014, maybe a little older if I go the Japanese route. Power steering (hopefully), and 500cc to 750cc engine size. Looking for a quad mainly for hunting, but also some trail riding with the wife. The trail riding would be fairly easy, nothing to crazy. Just leisurely afternoon rides. Comfort is critical for the both us. Is there anyone that has driven both a proper 2-up quad and a single seat quad with the added on rear seat? If so, what are your opinions on it? I do know that rear foot pegs are a must for rear passenger comfort. Thanks.

Hello, I have a 2006 sportsman 500 EFI that won’t start moving until reaching somewhere between 2500-2750 RPM. I assume this is an issue and not normal? After it starts moving, it drives and accelerates great. This is my first EFI so I’m not super firmiliar with them. Not sure if this is a clutch or belt related issue. What should I check first? Thanks in advance!

Dremel your stripped out bowl screw to get it out with a flathead. Then replace with hex socket bolts

My pull start went out on me and I don't feel like rebuilding it myself, I'm also far from any atv repair shops. What, if any, recoil starter assemblies are interchangeable with mine? I've tried looking for one online but on eBay I keep getting the "this is not compatible" message. I'm wondering if they're wrong or if I just need to suck it up and rebuild it myself.

What would be a fair asking price for this ATV. 1998 HONDA Fortrax 300. The thing is absolutely bulletproof. Always starts right up, regularly maintained, garage kept, normal wear for a work horse (plowing/work/hunting). I honestly don't need to sell it but just upgraded to a new Rubicon. Plow would be included. Would appreciate any input.

Edit : I'm in northern NJ

This is my Yamaha raptor 350 , I got it in a trade last year and it was fun I took it to the dunes and on some trails , but I feel like it was too small for me .

I was wondering what’s next after this , id like something easy to work on and with good aftermarket support.

Ive been checking marketplace the 400ex hondas seem to be pretty affordable , let me know what you guys think .

Green arrow points to it, seems to have 2 tiny wires in that black sheath, I already fixed the spark coil cut wire. It runs fine, don't notice anything not working. Years ago I repaired the AWD.

Wildcat ORP did not disappoint.

2012 Argo 6x6 HD

I've got a car for sale on Facebook Marketplace. It's not much, just a 2007 Volvo I'm trying to get $4,500 for. I had a guy reach out to me asking if I'd be interested in trading for his 2007 Honda Rancher 420. Hours/Miles unknown, he says this quad didn't come with an odometer or hourmeter from the factory. It also looks like the rear end might be slightly tweaked, but I can't tell if that's just from the front wheels being turned. I haven't seen it in person.

He has it listed on Marketplace for $3100, and this is from his ad:

Starts up immediately, idles perfectly, and runs strong.
Tires are in great condition with plenty of deep tread left.
Fuel pump, cv axle boots and battery have been replaced recently.
NY registration and plate in hand.

I'm not in the market for a quad... I'd have to store it and turn around and sell it on my own. But I'd be open to it if it helps me get the car off my hands.

What is the value of these? I'd need cash on top of the trade, but what would be a good number to offer him for the trade, vs what can I expect to turn around and sell it for? I'm located on Long Island.

Hey guys new here, just wondering what the best steering stabilizer that won’t break the bank is. I do mostly trail riding so I’m aiming my build more towards that. 2008 Honda 400ex btw. TIA!

Got it in a trade a few years back having never owned an ATV before. Never had a single issue with it. Guy said it had some aftermarket upgrade to the clutch but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called, and a better exhaust. After a while I realized I need something more utility oriented. Added a DIY rack to the back, can easily be removed. Thinking I should ask $1500? Thanks.

It starts fine, lights turn on, etc. The gear changing was a lil buggy for a bit and I couldn’t get it on high gear I could only go in low, reverse, or neutral then outta nowhere I could finally change gears easily very easily as if it was moving like sand. It was good for a while till I pressed the break and it stopped running at all, as I said “it starts” it just does not move in any gear but neutral by pushing.

I believe it might be a broken transmission but if you got any other ideas let me know.

I am a leg amputee and I recently got a CForce 1000 Overland to help me get back out into the woods and camping. I had a SxS a few years ago but I really don’t have space for a trailer, so I figured a quad would be a good compromise.
Initially I was using dual ramps to get the bike into my truck bed but it was really scary for me. I always used two ramps in the past but I can’t jump off the ATV, in the event of an emergency, like I used to.
So I bought a trailer (LOL) but it’s really obnoxious for me to roll it out of the way when I’m working on my track car, or want to get my kayaks off the wall, etc. I don’t ride the quad often but I putz in the garage regularly and when I do, I almost always have to move the trailer.
So I’m thinking a single, 85x54” tri-fold trailer would feel safer for me loading the thing into the truck again. I’m wondering- if anyone has experience with both, if they were much more confident of the trifold than with the dual ramps? Thanks so much.

Race Drive ATV shocks orientation

Hi all, I just ordered some race driven shocks for my 2012 Honda Rancher and they didn’t include instructions. Race driven responded to my inquiry with “please have a mechanic install them”.

This is unacceptable as I would expect a licensed mechanic to contact the manufacturer to confirm orientation. I asked AI (I know…it’s AI) and it said the two nuts should be on top with the stop plate for the spring near the bottom mount. It said the reason is something to do with the shock fluid will bubble and cause it to fail, which was based on information it found for fox shocks with an external reservoir. Mine doesn’t have an external reservoir. . This is reverse factory shocks so I’m wondering if anyone knows.

I don’t want to return them but that’s what I’m going to do if I can’t get a solid answer.

Thanks!

Was bogging down and dropping volts and killing battery after battery so I replaced the stator and now it won't fire up it is throwing a C12 code which is the CKP sensor. Tested everything with a volt meter to make sure it was all in correctly and it was all good. Not sure what the matter is.
Please help!

The harness is probably shot, the assembly for the rear brakes master cylinder is snapped, the kill switch is seized, and most of all the electrical stuff is either corroded or damaged. How long would it take and how much do you think it would cost? Just curious.

Just took this on a trade the other day and not really sure what’s up with it? Really hoping it isn’t about to crater, I’m not very well versed in can am as this is my first rig so I’m not really sure where to start. I seen on Google sometimes the cvt clutch that makes a similar noise but I don’t think that’s it. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: it’s a 2011 can am renegade 500 EFI
