Great video. Wish you had this up 6 months ago lol. I just restored a 04 400at. Was outside for 10yrs. Had no motor flat tires seized breakes ripped seat broken dash. Was fun finding all the parts. I also needed a pull cord which i found on ebay. They are one off for that model. You'd think honda would've used the 350 pullcord assembly to save money.
Sounds like you had your work cut out for you! They are fun machines but not a ton of info out there on these specific models compared to the 350’s.
@@Pickup_Projects as long as you change oil regularly/clean air filter and keep the stock size tires they last forever. They are not a mud bike and they don't make the gear reduction for them.
Had the same issue with mine, same year. Tried the whole shift program process and changed the gear position sensor, to no avail.
Checked the fused power to the shift computer mounted above the right rear tire. Manual states it needs at least 10 volts to work, mine was getting only 6-6.5.
I ran a new 14 gauge wire with a fuse holder and bypassed the original fuse under the seat, it shifts flawlessly now.
A lot of people would have probably overlooked that. Good job getting that figured out!
I think that seat looks great from what we can see in the video! The bike looks good period. It don't sound bad but maybe like it could use a vale adjustment or timing? I'm not a pro or around four wheelers a lot so??? It kind of sounded like it was struggling a bit. Nice video! Have fun and be safe!
A valve adjustment probably wouldn’t hurt! I assumed it was rich because the exhaust smelled like gas. I should have mentioned that somewhere in the video.
@@Pickup_Projects You did a nice job on your video. We all learn as we go and you had the courage to try something new so.... it's a win in my book! Like I said I'm no expert.
@@bradh74 I appreciate the support and feedback! Thanks for watching!
You should get a foam cannon and some degresser for leaning it up. Works great!
That’s actually not a bad idea. That would save me a lot of time!
I do recommend getting Japanese industrial standard impact bits and screw drivers for these Japanese bikes. Its saved me a lot of screws ive stripped in the past since i got them just because they bite those Phillips looking screws so much better.
Thanks, I didn’t know that. I’ll definitely look into it!
@@Pickup_Projects its something i just recently learned before tearing into my 2nd 83 big red. Its helped a lot with stuff i definitely stripped heads off of on the one i messed with.
It's great when the fix is just a broken wire. Free is the best type of fix. 👍
I couldn’t have said it better myself!
I have a 2011 Honda foreman 500 will shift to neutral but soon as you drive it it won’t shift it displays two dashes stuck in gear shift it with the manual override and it goes back to neutral but head is stumped code 4 flashing for angle sensor so gonna try that don’t know if it’s a voltage thing or what
@@Martyvison the angle sensor is one of the first things to go. They are bad about getting water in them. I would start there if that’s the code you are getting.
What about the oil filter???
I decided to leave it for the time being because my local parts shop did not have one in stock at the time. I do recommend changing it most times though.
you can buy a new screen or wet sand the screen so you can least see it just use wet sandpaper and polish it!!
Thanks for the tip. Those screens are bad about that!
