I got a 300 1990 it runs like a beast once you get it running it won’t stop

[@rockspowersports]

@Thehondaboys. It will run again, it’s just a matter of what it’s gonna take to get it going.

[@MLAuto69]

The fourtrax 300 are some of the toughest utility atvs when it comes to Honda, and their super reliable. Cant wait for the trail rides when its going to be snowing!!

[@rockspowersports]

@Ride and Fun. I’m sure there’s a bare wire or something somewhere that’s causing the issue.. it shouldn’t be to long before we get some snow I wouldn’t think anyways.

[@kmpsoia]

Hey man awesome video is there a part 2 coming ? Just got one of these 300 4×2 it needs alot of work . Stoked to see your progress.

[@rockspowersports]

@K P That machine got put to the side over the winter. I will get back to it this spring and yes I’ll make a part 2. Definitely going to get it fixed up.

[@kmpsoia]

Awesome!!!

[@NorthernHomeGarage]

I’ve got the same bike. We have owned it since 1993. If you paid $600 and you can get it running for another $300 or $400 you got a steal. I have never been left stranded with mine. It’s a work horse and very low maintenance. I just recently pulled mine out of my portable garage after 4 years and it fired up and I was able to take it for a ride. Thanks for the video!!

[@prestongriffin416]

you are spot on have a great holiday and new year

[@rockspowersports]

@preston griffin merry christsmas to you as well.

[@corbana4743]

Got the same machine at work , we beat the day light out of it , they are a work horse

[@Robbinsbuiltgarage]

You get this running ever? Would love an update video or a part 2 of getting it going again!

[@fourbyfourer]

Sorry, but you DO NOT screw the dipstick in to check the engine oil on any Honda ATV.

[@rockspowersports]

@livin’ The Dream It looks like you are correct, so it was very low on oil then.

[@Loudhd]

Put a Warn 424 kit to make the Awd and make it 4x4 engageable

[@rockspowersports]

I’ll probably just keep it full Tim 4x4 these little 300’s don’t turn to bad.

[@Martyvison]

Just got mine back oil leak fixed new cv boots shock bushings brake work in the front and the transmission as I go to unload it neutral all gears had to push it off the truck then it finally engages the gear as it moves went on the truck just fine in gear crazy ghost problem even the hardwick dealer couldn’t duplicate

[@rockspowersports]

@Arcticcatic802 Man that sucks, it sounds like the dealer might not of actually tested it out to much if it is already acting up while you were uploading it…

[@thomaslangton7099]

There good little bikes they go for 1k here in Canada even when the frame is rotten so I’d say it was a ok deal but there tanks so it should be fine

[@rockspowersports]

@Thomas Langton Once I dig in a little further I’ll know more.

[@prestongriffin416]

check your spark plug by trying a new one also check the boot

[@rockspowersports]

I don’t think the spark plug is going to blow the cdi.. it’s the stator unfortunately

[@MBTUE]

Too bad but at least you didn't fry an expensive CDI. Who knew that would happen !

[@rockspowersports]

@Mark Bow. Your right about that! I’m not upset at all about a $25 cdi if it was a $250 Honda cdi I’d be upset…

[@brucemacdonald4672]

I think you might of bought a parts bike? ☃️👍👍

[@motofarmmx2430]

Dang Rock, sorry about that. That thing is rougher than she looked. At 600 I think you can still turn a little profit. These things sell high and fast. Good deal? Eh I'm cheap when it comes to selling for profit so I probably would of went say 500 max. Still not too bad I guess in this crazy market. But after buying a nice one with plow for 750 its hard call that a good deal.

[@rockspowersports]

@Motofarm mx Yeah I probably paid too much… the crazy market seems to be coming down at least where I live. I’ll get it running and I might get my money back… I might keep it for a while so I feel better about the deal.. Sounds like you got a steal on that $750 one!

[@motofarmmx2430]

@@rockspowersports I agree and I'm happy the market is coming back down. Time to see 1k decent 400exs again and such. I figure 200 max for a tank. Say another 200 in electrical. In it 1k give yourself 400 for labor. If the brakes work i don't see you having a problem getting 2k.

[@rockspowersports]

@Motofarm mx. I agree about the prices, I have over paid for quite a few of my wheelers I have right now though. And Unfortunately the brakes are froze up and will have to be gone though which I expect on any older Honda anyways.

[@motofarmmx2430]

@@rockspowersportshopefully they don't look like that tank

[@rockspowersports]

@@motofarmmx2430 there’s a good chance they will. Brakes will be last on the list though..

[@user-yn7nv5si3n]

I just bought the same bike, and it ran great but then now it just wont start , the electric starts gone but the kickstart usually works , any idea on what it could be ?

[@colinthepanamerican]

Do you still have a 1993 honda fourtrax 300 4x4?

[@rockspowersports]

Yes I do still have this one. Haven’t done much with it since this video.

[@buildurtruckurway9118]

Rode Honda 300s for years and can honestly say I developed a hate for the fortrax platform. There great for small duty tasks but to do anything else they require a lot of modifications. No low range was enough for me to choose the bayou platform or the Suzuki kingquad. Having to do a gear reduction to turn 27s seemed off to me. There reliable tough bikes but if you want any kind of fun they really leave you wanting more. You should get a good shape bayou 300 a king quad 300 and do a comparison between the original 3 4x4s.

[@rockspowersports]

@buildurtruckurway 91 I agree, if your going with that big of tires the gear ratio in the fourtrax won’t like it. The foreman would do fine with 27” tires. I do currently have a 97 Suzuki Quadrunner 250 4x4 that I’m liking more and more as I drive it. I have a trail ride test drive video already on it and will have more of a towing work related video being posted today or tomorrow for the little Suzuki.

[@FlawleZ31]

Bummer that thing fried your CDI. Must have a short somewhere.

[@rockspowersports]

@FlawleZ31. Yes I haven’t dug into it anymore, I’ll check it out over the weekend.

[@tristanalleman5015]

Been looking for one of these or a 250es big red or 250sx. Trying to find a good deal would u be able to help me out

[@334mudmafia1]

should i buy a honda 90 for 250$

[@Loudhd]

I mean make it disengageable

[@tedkowal1]

How much did you end up paying for the Honda?

[@FlawleZ31]

He stated in the video.

[@rockspowersports]

$600

[@tedkowal1]

@@rockspowersports that's a pretty good deal

[@kylethefryan1111]

To bad it's got so many problems. Looks decent though.

[@rockspowersports]

@KyletheFryan There’s still some potential.

[@kylethefryan1111]

@@rockspowersports yeah, I think so to. To bad the CDI was gone though, but still think it's worth it

[@Muddy300]

i dont wanna seem like that guy but honda fourtraxes are unstopable

[@rockspowersports]

@Local I’ll get this one fixed up one of these day’s…

[@jodyholcomb3738]

Four 600 not worth it but u might be able to part it out sale parts an get your money back

[@rockspowersports]

@Jody Holcomb Yeah.. it was worst than i though but I hate parting out machines so it will get fixed eventually
