Hey all. In this section there is alot of questions about oil and other parts, but I want to brag on my fourwheeler.
Make: 2002 Honda Rancher ES
Engine: 350cc
Other: 4x2
Color: Orange (yay)
Milage: 7,000 (bought it with less than 100)
Been fed M1 0w-40 ATV all its life
We got it used in 2003 with less than 100 miles on it form a lady who had just broke up with her boyfriend (it was his, somehow she ended up with it) for cheap. Its just used for fun trail riding in our farm.
There was nothing wrong with it, and things have pretty much stayed that way through all the years.
The only things we have ever had to do to it is
1. Change oil
2. Change tires (and patch a few..)
3. Have the break cable changed (had to do that on our 1995 Fortrax to)
4. Had to change a random bad tie rod.
Likes:
ES manuel transmission makes for easy, push button shifts.
Digital display of time, speed, total miles, odometer, hours, gear your in.
The color. Bright orange.
It still rides great for all the years we have had it (and the miles)
Starts great, and runs like brand new. For a 350cc it has alot of power.
Dislikes:
every once and awhile the push button tranny will freeze, but all you have to do is turn it off and restart. Hardly ever does it tho.
We have 2 more Honda fourwheelers, but this one was/is my very first and favorite. I WILL NOT trade it for a new one. I plan on keeping it untill it falls apart (which is gonna be awhile!!)
We also have a Kasawaki Mule and a 2010 trail wagon but they just don't ride well at all and to me a fourwheeler ride is so much more fun.
I guess you could call this a 7,000 mile review.
If your looking for a cheap used fourwheeler, don't rule one of these out. I honestly think mine will reach 15,000 miles and probably even way more.
