Honda fourtrax 420

[Willie adie]

Can anyone advise on these bikes.
What are the things to watch out for or are they usually pretty decent,
Considering a 2016 approx 2800 hrs. No power steering.
Looking to upgrade from my current kawasaki, KLF

They're a good bike, mind if you want a 4wd because there's quite a lot of 2wd ones around.
Fuel injected so should run nicely with excellent throttle response.

I would agree, decent enough bikes.
I don't think any horror stories about them.
The back foot brake often seizes up/ goes stiff, have a good try of it.

My son services and repairs quads. Most have seized foot brake levers so he drills, taps and fits a grease nipple to them.
Honda Fourtrax is a good machine according to him. One of his favourite to service.

Yeah I have done that before. I should really do the bike I have just now before it becomes a problem ?‍

I work on plenty and they are decent enough, LH rear axle tube bearings fail, so give the wheel a wobble, normal honda issues like front bottom shock bushes wear out.... they have gone through a patch of 4wd issues with the front diff motor, been redesigned now so fixed, but being a 2016 it might have the tempermental motor unit, so check if it goes into and out of 4wd ok.

Got a 2009 model, bought it with 1100 hours on, gave it a service last month as the foot brake was seized on, it does want some front bushes, it seems to squeak! Nice bike

Great bikes. Foot brake is prone to siezing up as above. The rear rack is light weight so don't overload it.

Rear diff, bearings, diff/shaft splines. Check there’s no movement in either
