They're great machines for sure. I also have the 2024 recon. I added the tow hitch assembly to it, front and rear cargo racks, 2500 lb winch, and sunf mud terrain tires. The brakes on the recons aren't good at all but they're light machines so they work when you need to stop. As far as adjusting the rear brakes, just tighten up the butterfly nuts by hand a few turns right behing the rear right tire. The cables will stretch out after a lot of use but they're easy to adjust. It takes a few seconds to do. I don't have to pull the choke on mine unless it's cold outside. In the Summer months it starts right up without choking it. They'll get around 80 miles off a full tank of gas, that's if you're driving it on a straight hwy. They are good at wheelies but you have to full throttle it and pull back. I aso installed a digital hour reader on mine. You can get them on amazon for around 12 bucks and they're very easy to install and last years and they're waterproof. That way you can know exactly how many hours it's been ran. The first service for the recon is at 20 hours and the second is at 100 hours. The first 20 hours is the most important oil change. That motor takes 1 quart of oil. I do an oil change on mine every 20 hours of use. The winch is just for looks on a recon but it makes them look beefy. If you ever get stuck in mud on a recon then all you have to do is get off of it and pick the rear or front end up! One major thing that you should never do to a recon is put bigger rims and tires on it. If you have a warranty on it form the dealership and you take it in for a service and you've added bigger tires to it, they will void it. I have a friend that put bigger tires on his and the power dropped bigtime. Those 229 cc motors are designed for the smaller tires.

Thanks for the in depth look at both the fourtrax recon as well as the rancher. I also am a "Honda Guy" for 44 years now. My first Honda was a 1978 xl70...You helped me decide on which ATV to get...Thanks...p.s. Are you related to Robert Kelley?....cousins maybe?

Thanks.. we rode for about a hour or so today it was fun... Tomorrow what's back to the daily grind..

I ordered the ES version which should be here anyyyyyday now‼️ After watching your video I know I made the right purchase 🫡

[@Adventureswithmike1]

That is the one I would prefer over the foot shift version, but old school bang and gears is fun.. I'm gonna take it in soon. To get the first oil, change done.. Machine has been absolutely flawless

@@Adventureswithmike1 ES sucks because if water gets to it sometimes not work

[@Adventureswithmike1]

@xandertabor7474 I can understand that, but you should never submerge on atv in water. I've gone through some pretty deep water With my rancher, what's the electronic shift and it's been fine..

[@truthnow902]

Any more, atv videos? Did you buy the Honda rubicon 520?

[@Adventureswithmike1]

No I purchased a brand new 2024 honda recon For my daughter.. I've just been working so much lately, but I ordered a new 360 camera. To do riding videos

[@truthnow902]

Please use Helmets 🙏🙏🙏🙏😎👍🇺🇸

[@Adventureswithmike1]

The place where I bought the machine gave us a really good discount on a brand new helmet for my daughter.. I usually wear one but in the video I was ripping around without one. Which is fine because i'm old and stupid..lol But I usually wear one while we're i'm longer rides
