I have an 07 Honda Rancher with Mudlite tires and I love them. I've always loved Honda four-wheelers. My dad has an Arctic Cat 500 and his is so heavy and hard to turn compared to mine.
Thanks for watching man. You just cant beat the old foot shifter... even the honda electric shift is good. Don't have to worry about a stupid belt getting wet or breaking.
@crouchin1013 , We actually rode what was called Coldwater bottoms, which was Arkabutla bottoms. Maybe the same place you are talking about. That was the BEST place ever to ride. Covington Pike it torn up BAD. I can tell you now that you will not running through many holes anymore with bald 25" tires. If you think so, then please some ride with us and show us how its done. I did think you could legally ride Hernando Point. My brother lives in Hernando and we are there all the time.
Bobcat, the electric shift is nice too. Only thing is u have to have the rpm low to get it in 1st gear. Manual shift u can have the rpm whereever and kick it in gear.
these foremans really are tough. i tend wells on the anf and my quad just turned 23000 only ever had to fix bearings and hubs... and weld the exhaust bracket bk on.
@noftchks1 , Don't know how it works where you live, but around here if you don't work... then you don't play. We ride on those days that are called weekends... maybe you have heard of them. Those are our OFF days.... We don't have to work. We love them quads. It's all good!
tmoney, thank you very much for the compliment and thank you for watching. Yeah, I just record all I can and then edit out what I think may be boring and try to think what I would like to see if I was wanting to find a good video. Be safe and go get you some good video.
@DukeOfTennessee117 , We were there last weekend. It is rough, but we make it. A lot of jeeps and trucks go out there these days in addition to tons of atvs
@sexycanamrenegade800 , hey man, The Meter housing includes lights for reverse, neutral, and oil temperature warning indicators. I think the one on the right is for your temp (if it is red). I have never known for a 450 honda to overhead. I used to have one and they are tough
Not so much whether it is good or bad, but is it neccesary. If u r trying to turn big heavy tires & u find your atv struggling a little then a clutch kit would be a good thing. It doesnt give more power but will help keep u from burning up your clutches & smoking or slipping a belt. It helps to keep the engine rpm up so that it turns the tires over easier. Almost like having it in a lower gear to start off so to speak. Not sure if that makes any sense.
@prolax300 , you are right... we really should wear helmets. I guess sometimes we just get comfortable not thinking about the dangers. I know I make my son wear his when we go. Guess I should be a better example. Thanks for checking out my videos.
Good luck man. Let me know how u like the outlaws. I think u will love them. They are pretty rough riding but as you increase ur speed, they will smooth out. Alos, if you r in the mud then you will not notice a difference.
@mcnay54 depends on what type of tires you have and how you ride it. The Recons are peppy, nimble and lighter atv's. One would be surprised at how well they do in nasty mud.
Should be disc brakes on the front. Check to see if the brake pad is worn. You may need new pads. If they look good, you could have a rock or something caught between the brake pad and the rotor. The rear brakes are drums, they are terrible and do not last long. Make sure to take the screw out of the drum sometimes if you ride in water and check they water is not in there. if so, drain it.
i had a 1993 honda 300 4x4 it was a MONSTER had 28" mud B**** tires clutch kit dyno jet kit and a 2" highlifter lift kit and a cheap harbor freight winch this atv would go throu anything i got a little care less and revved it to high and toasted the head and piston and rings i sold it for $1800 because the tires where still new all it needed was a new top end honda's are TANKS if you dont over rev them in penut butter mud
Hey man, congrats on your purchase. If I were you, I would not go any bigger than 27's. The 28 outlaw is huge and will rob tons of your power. What type of riding to you do?
LOL, yeah thats my buddy and his wife. She's awesome. Man she just hangs on. Of course now she is hooked and has her own atv. He now has a 800 polaris and she has 750 brute.... oh wait. they sold the Brute a few months ago.
@mudpimp the only reason i say this is because i have 27in outlaws and i could bog the motor BAD before i got a clutch kit. now it's not that bad...but with any more tire, it needs gear reduction for the serious mudder. but this honda still did alright in these conditions.
He does not have them anymore. They are not the best tire but were much better than hondas stock tire. I heard they dont do well at all in reverse either. But again, they are better than stock. I would not choose them though.
people bash honda for not being good in the mud but them bitches last a life time i just keep put my recon under water but it stills doin great and ive had it for 8 years
Well, a couple years ago Honda was the cheapest most reliable atv on the market. Though the brake setup stinks and the 3 wheel drive is a pain... they were just tough machines. Funny thing is... none of these guys ride Honda's anymore.
damn my foreman doesn't even have 200 hours and the rings are shot. NOTE: WATER is BAD for your ENGINE. gonna get new rings next year, it just started smoking at high rpms this yr.
hey man i just bought a 06 honda foreman 500 4x4 and i want to buy outlaw tires but not to sure what size could i buy 27 or 28" if you could help thanks
Honda is a good atv. Not much in the power department. When you compare the big boy bikes. The 420 Rancher is one of the best. Would love to see them put a diff-lock on them and disc breaks all around. The drum break stinks.
a honda 500 isn't built for 30 inch tires...it can't handle them. notice how the bike with the 'zillas has to keep dumping his clutch just to get them spinning in 4wd...he needs gear reduction or smaller tires. a clutch kit would help. and they don't really look like 30's.
this is pathetic! my 2wd recon does this all day with just itp mudlites, haha i wish thinkin about getting either a foreman or rancher 420 4wd foot shifter, any suggestions on which is better, i ride mostly sport riding at the lake and some stuff around the house in the woods
