What to do

I have a Honda Fourtrax I took to Mexico 1 year ago that ran perfectly fine it’s a 1991 2wd Honda fourtrax 300 as i previously said it would run fine before it went to Mexico but now it runs either good or bad on some days I go to start it over and it cranks but dosent turn on and on some days it starts right on, and I took it to a mechanic and they said they replaced the “cdi box “ and it would work perfectly for a week or so and after it would only turn on sometimes I’m here to ask what do you guys think is the problem and if known what parts to take because I will be going to Mexico again in 1 months so I can buy the parts

$5-10k ATV for 6-Acre Homestead?

I'm clueless about ATVs.

Situation:

  • 6 acres of lawn, garden, and grove at Minnesota homestead (no farm duty needed)
  • I move heavy stuff using a 1958 Allis Chalmers D17 w/bucket
  • I mow with a Husvarna Z248F zero-turn
  • I have a 2014 RAM 2500 but no plow or trailers for it

What I want to do with an ATV/UTV:

  • pull a dethatcher, plug aerator, lawn sweeper, and maybe a lawn roller (don't have one yet)
  • carry a 15gal broadcast sprayer for herbicides/pesticides
  • haul lawn and garden tools, supplies, etc.
  • drag large branches etc.
  • plow light to moderate snow
  • maybe have some fun on our gravel road and local trails with my kids

The zero-turn isn't designed for pulling implements. Tractor's too heavy/cumbersome for many tasks.

As a starting point, I'm looking at used Honda FourTrax Foreman 4x4s. Honda for the reliability but I'm not attached to any brands (or configuration, fuel type, etc. for that matter). Foreman because I don't need Rubicon luxury but may have workloads beyond the Rancher and Recon. Looking to spend $5-10k some time in 2026.

I need help

So my cousin was driving myGrandma‘s quad and when we were driving. It made a weird noise and stopped moving after that I touched the throttle it. for a second and then it went a tiny bit and then it stopped really fast and it completely turned off and then It wouldn’t turn on and the brakes don’t even move when they are pressed in so I pushed it back to its area and after moving it I also tried pull starting it but it hardly budged I went back to the spot where it happened and I saw some small black pieces of stuff on the ground does anyone know what is wrong with it 😭

Stripped Drain Plug? (Suzuki)

Changed the oil in my 2004 Suzuki Ozark yesterday.

Came out today and saw a few drips underneath...so I snugged the bolt up a bit more...and felt a slight "slip" of the bolt. This was not the socket slipping on the bolt head.

Backed the bolt out slightly and snugged it up again just to see if it was fully stripped. I didn't push it, but can tell just by the feel that if I tried to continue tightening, it would continue spinning...but not a sloppy type of spinning...a tight, but not getting any tighter kind of spinning.

Anyway, it doesn't seem to be dripping anymore oil.

Am I likely ok to use the machine, and just check the bolt by hand occasionally to make sure it's not backed out any?

1990 Yamaha moto 4 250

Hello,

So I recently bought an 1990 Yamaha moto 4 250.

Did pull start before but now feels bogged down, does turn over.

Thought I would go with the estart. Bought a new battery but got no power.

Stupid question, does it need to have the key and key cylinder/wiring for that to work? It has the hole and female connecter underneath the front plastics.

Extra lights

As the title says I need extra lights and got some and tried to install. But when I installed them with wires and everything it always on except when I put on high beams and then it shuts off. Something important to know is that it’s a cfmoto cforce520L 2023 and I plugged the wires in from the relay under the front plastic panel and above that is the metal rack.

PLEASE HELP!!

Terrain/Climate-specific Tire Recommendations for Sportsman 570 X2

After keeping an eye on the used market for a long time, I finally found a barely used Sportsman X2 at a reasonable price and jumped on it. It’s a 2019 570 with 275 miles and ~85 hours. Just got done changing out all the fluids and filters, and some general maintenance checks (very glad I did!).

Of course I can’t help myself and am wondering about the tires. It’s got factory Carlisle AT489 and thinking there may be something better to suit my needs.

Primary use will be around our property, We live in a wooded, upland hills northern Midwest climate. Usually plan on winter 6 months a year and lots of snow. Our home is on 6 acres cut into a hill and I have some trails around the property. The rig will just be for miscellaneous fun and work around the property and our dirt road. Tooling around the dirt, leaf or snow covered trails (they can be steep and technical in sections), up and down the dirt road and driveway, pulling firewood from the woods and hauling wood/pellets around home, definitely using turf mode on the hilly and uneven lawn as well, hope not to shred grass too bad. I won’t be using it for plowing at all, as the compact tractor does that for me, but as good of deep and packed snow performance as possible is important to be able to enjoy it throughout winter. Eventually snow on trails will be too deep for clearance, but want great snow grip to use on our trails as late into winter as possible. Very little if any “mud” riding at all. Not many rocks so I don’t think sidewall durability is very important.

I know the description is very long and specific 😃, but really hoping to get the perfect tire for our year round and hilly use! I struggle to find reviews for this type of varied terrain.

Why wont thebrake caliper piston compress?

I wanted to change my back brake pads. And the caliper piston wont go in. It isnt seized. I rotates good. But when you compress it with a c clamp i wont go in. Its has a hydraulic brake and a parking brake.
