Those things are the perfect plow vehicle. Literally endless low end torque. Also, holding the right brake, (front brake) allows you to start in gear. Also, since it’s a hydraulic transmission, you don’t have to lift throttle to shift, since all it’s doing is moving a swash plate between different presets. Also, almost every one of those has that shifting issue. It doesn’t click into gear unless the output shaft is perfectly aligned when shifted. Just tap the gas and it’ll pop into gear. Also the reason the D1 doesn’t show in high is due to a transmission shift code. The flashes will tell you what sensor is wrong. You either get a new one or fix the sensor itself. Then you should have a perfectly running bike.

Wow!! You caught this one just in time Joe! Another season with low, dirty oil and no air filter and it's off to the scrap heap. What a bargain at $500!🤑
I'd definitely lube the shift linkage pivot points and try a new shift POSITION sensor. Usually, when the shift ANGLE sensor starts to go out, it will start sputtering in reverse. Also, the timing and oil pump chains are bad to stretch out too far around 6000 miles. There's no tensioner on the pump chain, so when it comes off the gear, alot of people assume the Hondamatic has gone out because it operates off the oil pressure. The timing chain will actually stretch beyond the capacity of the tensioners reach, and it starts backfiring when you let off the throttle. I'd almost guarantee the valves have never been adjusted. After i first bought mine, I cleaned all the electrical connections and added dielectric grease to them.
Ive had my original honda atv since new trx 200 1984 ,bullet proof, tons of miles and usage ,has never let me down ,now i use it in my landscaping business, honda is so reliable.
I remember those. Honda was killing it in the market because their off-road lineup was by far the most reliable on the market. It took the other Japanese manufacturers a few years to catch up with Honda, and to be honest, none of them ever actually became as reliable.
Joe if you are getting sponsors it simply means your channel is doing great and you deserve everyone you get for the time you spend making these videos for all of us. 🔥
Awesome luck! Love all your tips. Here's one for you - read the pour instructions on your oil jug. It's life changing. Spout at the top of the pour prevents glugging.
I was buying back yard lawn art motorcycles, and fixing them up and reselling starting at the ripe age of 12, i motocrossed as well. this was 1984 of course so my bikes were mostly 70s vintage with what i could afford as a kid, though i did have a few nuggets, ca95 (purchased for 20 dollars), and others. 1982 YZ 250 traded for fixing broken KX80, and so on. I still own my 1979 KD125 rotary valve, second owner (i have had it, what , almost 40 years now, still pristine.. that was self realization im old, hate when i do that lol), i raced with it for years. I really enjoy watching young people have a passion for fixing what others consider worthless or discarded. I had kids so had to go corporate and degrees, if it were up to me i would still be buying old bikes, fixing them and selling them. then riding the entire afternoon until the sun set. Also, that KX125 is a screamer huh, should have seen it new ;-) oh and in racing, the KX125 would kick my KD125 in the pants, however the KX power band was gone by 4th (short shifts) and the KD rotary valve kept the power band longer, smoke em in 4th and 5th LOL
My 06 Rancher 400 had a calibration process for the electronic shift that involved pushing a combination of buttons at the same time. May be something similar on the Rubicon. I found it on the Honda forums and it solved some similar issues with mine.
I'm still riding an '01 model with 6500 miles on the odometer. New top end and a few other things, but the bottom end is still as tight as brand new. The worst habit people get into is not changing the oils on a regular basis, not adjusting the valves or, not keeping the mud cleaned out of the radiator. In my experience, they're almost bulletproof if you keep up the regular maintenance. Doesn't have a front diff lock but with a good set of knobby tires and just knowing how to ride makes up for it anywhere I ride. Don't get me wrong, a front diff lock would be nicer, but it should be in no way a deal breaker for anyone. These are excellent machines. I'm amazed you got it for $400. But, WOW, that thing is dirty.
Just a minor suggestion a big light (hands free) to help you with oil changes when you are under a 4 wheeled vehicle or anything come to mention. Also nice for viewers. Love your content keep up the hard work really appreciate it....from UK
I own the 2004 version of this. I’ve done all the maintenance and oil changes, etc. You did a really good job making sure everything was healthy. It appears to have had virtually no maintenance at 6500 miles. The Rubicon is such a great workhorse and as you know fully automatic. I did have a cut out not running issue and it turned out to simply be the spark plug. They say do a new spark plug every thousand miles and mine made it almost 2000 miles.
Rear differential..."Maybe it's been changed" Why would you even give this consideration? Air filter, lack of motor oil, the seat,... it's painfully obvious at this point, that maintenance was never a priority in the life of this vehicle. Good for you that (hopefully) you caught this terminal problem of no maintenance, before it was too late.
I bought a used good condition 02 Rubicon in 2015 for 3300 been soild reliable since upgraded the front brakes to disc brakes put a Warn 4x2x4 disconnect and an HMF utility exhaust been great
ESP will clear if you turn handlebars full left to full right when in a stationary position, ESP typically triggers when a flat battery or new battery installed most of the time
Wow, when I saw the lack of an air filter, I thought ho my god, the engine will need a rebuild. And in the end, it's running great and it does not seem to lack power. Great buy!
You should let people know not any oil with additives can be used in those Hondas. It causes clutches to slip seen this happen a couple times. Enjoy your channel keep up the good work!!!
I was squinting my eyes after watching him do donuts in the dust because he didnt show him self installing the new air filter , i wonder if he forgot? hmmmm great content on your channel, ive been binge watching all week. Keep up the great content.
Joe, I mentioned this before, but UA-cam isn't notifying me and others when you put out new videos; I have the notification bell activated, and still no notifications. Also, you might consider making your own air filters. Just use the same housing, but buy you the mesh at most stores like Hobby Lobby, Walmart.., and grab a bottle of fabric glue and you're all set. I make almost all my air filters for my bikes, ATVs, tractors, snowmobiles...😊
@@Papachuckk I am. This is happening to others as well; I got an email from a friend who's also subscribed, and he said he doesn't get notified either.
Another channel I watch "Now You Know" recently said that the youtube algorithm thinks after being subscribed for a long time, you will have grown out of a channel so notifications stop. They recommended unsubscribing then resubscribing and click the bell again to reset.
I have the 2014, last year they made it, trail edition with power steering. 1800km in mint condition. love the Honda-matic! I'm only 9 mins in, cant wait to see how this vid goes.
I had the same problem with the gear position sensor on my Polaris sportsman. There was a connector on the gear position harness that was reading the wrong ohm or no ohm load. I was able to cut off the old resistor pack and solder a new set in place. Pretty easy fix.
Honda engineers are really the best! Honda’s might not be the fastest all the time, but they are the most reliable and have the greatest thought in design, in my opinion. Fantastic deal on this one, Joe. Vinny would’ve advised buying it too, I’m sure.
You're right about Honda building the best machines. I remember as a kid, my brother and I were in line to get a pair of MX bikes. We found a pair of Honda CR 125s ('86 models) at a nearby dealer, so my father took us to check them out, but when he made the dealer an offer he refused because he knew these bikes were the best on the market and that Honda didn't import enough of them to cover the demand so he stuck to the full price. My father passed, and we ended up finding what ended up being our go-to dealer who was Deerfield Suzuki, in Massachusetts. The owner was a great guy and always gave my old man a great deal on bikes/quads and anything else we needed so we ended up taking home an RM 125 ('85 leftover) and an '86 RM 250 and we couldn't have been happier.
Honda scaled back on performance because they were the focus of the lawsuits that stemmed from the 250r. Trust me, if Honda wanted to dominate in performance, they would do it very easily. Instead, they prefer keeping the reputation they have
@@staygold902 I'm with you 💯% there. I was a hardcore Suzuki guy in my racing days. My last bike was an '02 RM 125, and that thing handled unbelievably well. All I had to do was think about it and it would do the cornering for me. I really loved that bike.
After the past couple of months and all the garbage machines you have had to deal with, it'a about time you got lucky. Looks like fin, thanks for bringing me along for the ride.
If you plan to keep the Honda, I would replace the oil pump chain. Also, buy a spare shift angle sensor. The double lines on the dash could be as simple as a linkage adjustment, or could be the shift motor, angle sensor or ECU/wiring.
Found this: Hondamatic Transmission Code Retrieval 1. Put the gear shift lever in neutral (be sure the neutral indicator comes on) and the ignition switch OFF (vehicle at a stop). 2. While pushing the UP and DOWN shift switches (ESP) simultaneously, turn the ignition key to the on position. 3. Release the UP and DOWN switches immediately, then at the same time push both the UP and DOWN shift switches again and hold form more than 2 seconds. 4. The problem code is displayed by a certain number of blinks “ - - “ on the gear indicator, which indicates the problem code by the number of blinks. If “N” (neutral) stays ON on the position indicator, the retrieval process was not correctly performed. Repeat the procedures from step one at this time.) 5. When the problem code(s) displays, release the shift switches. You should see “ - - “ for approximately 3 seconds then off, then the “ - - “ should flash, once for code one, twice for code two and so on. The engine control module (ECM) can store two different codes. If your ECM has stored two different codes, the first code displayed is the most recent and the second code is the earlier code. Write them down. To Erase the Problem Codes 1. Push and hold the UP and DOWN shift switches simultaneously for 3 seconds of more while the problem code is being displayed (i.e., “ - - “ blinking on the gear position indictor). 2. When the erasure is completed, the blinking pattern changes to the erasure confirmation blink. 3.

I ever read that Honda engineers and developers always keep the customer behaviour in mind, in terms of use and maintenance because they know many will just neglect and abuse them. So the quality standard is very high and the setup is as simple as it can be. Everything functions, mecanically and electronically even after been covered in a thick layer of mud and oil levels on questionable readings. Just staggeringly good!
No sponsors... Don't need to kneel to some cronie corporation or be pushed into raising flags (shilling) for stuff you don't fully stand by. Stay with the UA-cam partner program and let the organic growth happen imo
OMG I know, would a 30 sec reader for Harbor Freight, DeWalt, or ULine shop supplies, kill him? I can not even get to Merch, a tee-shirt, cap, travel mug, or link to an Amazon store with tools and supplies and he gets a cut of every purchase
2vintage, use Rotella T4. It's wet clutch approved and a lot of people use it for their atv's and motorcycles. Plus it's only ~$15 at walmart for a gallon jug. Just a thought

I have a similar honda rubicon and they are pretty finicky about oil level because it powers and lubricates the huge transmission as well Nice job on this one Joe!
On those Hondas there’s a shifter solenoid that goes bad and won’t read what gear it’s in on the dash had the same issue with my 07 rincon 660, my reverse wouldn’t show on dash and I replaced the solenoid and everything worked
I need a four-wheeler for my daughter to use around our property. I only find ppl trying to sell broke ones for 2500..lol. i need to buy one from you!!!
Angle sensor is shot easy fix just did mine on the rubicon or it’s your throttle position sensor but I’m leaning towards angle right under your header pipe bud make sure you preload the sensor when you swap it
Joe, looks like the shifter positioning sensor has a lot of dirt in it. No surprise here considering how much dirt was all over this unit. I'm thinking to remove this sensor and clean it out. Might even need a new one.
I have an older honda (93) 4 wheeler and the original book, and it actually says to screw the dipstick in and then back out to check the oil. Also someone on a forum I asked about it said that is in fact true. but ultimately it just meant the difference between being at the top of the dipstick and at the midpoint. Someone said that is still the way to check a honda. When I asked about the 2020.
The code is from angle sensor or something to do the carburetor. Something happened to my 04 rubicon. But mine would go in forward and reverse but wouldn't shift
Wow Joe......this was a super deal.Kinda makes up for the times that your sellers lied about what they were selling you.Basically.....you stold that rig for the price.....and seems like from honest people.Kind of gives you some hope that fact that not all people are smuks and scammers.I do wish you would do an install of a new winch set up.My 99 Grizzly needs one and i have the kit but would help if i saw it done.With the battery in the back under the seat.Thanks !!
What do you do with all these cool toys once you fix them? Considering what the oil and air filter looked like, I doubt they changed any diff fluids. I'm surprised you don't have some sort of lift table, and a sand blaster would be helpful also.
I have the 2017 500 Rubicon with the manual shift, P/S, front 4 whl diff lock, and 2 whl or 4 whl switch and the IRS rear end diff and fuel injection, A HUGE difference from a 2015 1985 Big Red that finally dropped the bottom end when it ate the starter drive gear, when you open the fuel injection 500 up you better be hanging on when in 4whl lock, things are going to HAPPEN and FAST!!. The 2107 engine is quite different than that one with the auto in it, dont think I would like the auto stuff , something else to screw up later. I heard you say she said it would just quit , my 2017 done a weird thing like that , it threw a code for the sensor in the exhaust occasionally, then one day it would just shut off and then backfire out the exhaust going down a gravel road. Found it was the sparkplug after I watched a YT vid, the guy had the same thing happen, only he changed a BUNCH of parts from his buddies bike and didnt fix it until the plug was changed, never seen a plug do that, usually it starts missing or clowning around, not just shut totally off with less than a 1000 miles and never abused or in water. And he said his would get started up and shut off frequently and not run that much. I heard yours stumble a couple times like plug was fading out like mine did. I seen the boat trailer going for free to, I would have pulled the parts off and maybe sold, or for free, and used the trailer axle and stub axles and tires to make a trailer, that is just as wide as the rear on the Rubicon to clear trees etc on paths, and a frame out of angle, and a tongue just long enough that you can jackknife it to turn around easier in woods and NOT hit the bed, you got to put the trailer axle about 1 to 11/2 " forward from center of gravity on trailer, so some weight is on rear axle , but not a lot, and a boat trailer hitch you had on trailer. On mine I used conveyor belting for the floor and sides, that shtuff IS TOUGH and lasts forever!! I used it for deer hunting , dragging cut up wood out of the woods, about 4 wheel barrels ,out of some of the gnarleist places imageable without tearing the woods up, and getting rocks out of creeks with fossils in it for a sidewalk I made here, .
You should drain the metal shavings out of the rear diff😂 I know it's a lot of extra work removing the skid plate to do the job right but I believe in you
That year honda is AWESOME!!! I have a rancher with that shift forward and reverse makes plowing and moving the bike around AWSOME... Cleaned up that would sell around NH for 2500 instantly. They are awesome machines and mine should have been dead LONG ago with how I use it. I think its more reliable then the new ones Honda makes.
I'll admit I don't always wash things before working on em, but anything even near that I'd definitely clean up first. Super satisfying to watch lol. Good deal too.
What a find! I think those tires are original too Honda's came with either Dunlop's or Bridgestone tires for a while. My 04 Rubicon 500 still has it's original tires on it and only like 4000kms.
Also to add to that, the HondaMatic transmission shares the engine oil that's why it's important to keep fluids up to date and I believe why there is 2 drain plugs!
When you put it in gear and it doesn't show on display just tap the gas a bit and I'll go into the gear lower high. I have a 2009 with 11,000 km it's been doing that since new
I really enjoy watching your videos Joe! If you just start taking the time to really clean your parts and bolts perfectly you would honestly perfect your skill set and be an “absolute mechanic” In cleaning I mean really cleaning your parts I.e sending cases out for vapor honing and or sandblasting, running parts through a parts washer and that sort of thing. Bikemaster makes a really good portable parts washer that is perfect for someone who doesn’t necessarily have the space for a stand alone parts washer.
Nice work, I would say that if the battery isn't a sealed unit then you should top it up with distilled water and give it a charge. Not gonna lie, that bent rear rack bothers my OCD 😅
Sound like 4x4 actuator . About a 40 dollar part. Just the sound of the grind when it shift between high low. Just a guess with all the mud. Add another hundred for what it cost to wash it😊
I have a 1995 Honda 300 Fourtrax looks great runs great, my father in law had this and only road it to the top of the hill at his house fox hunting and back and forth cross the creek to feed his dogs, Sadly he passed and my wife ended up with it, it’s never been abused going 4 wheeling he never did that with it while he had it nor have I
Great machines. We have 4 of them, 2 older than this one. Looking for another. We use them in interior Alaska. If you absolutely have to get home, Honda.
I won a brand new Honda 500 Rubicon with a $10 raffle ticket that was a fundraiser for a local police department. I think this was in 2001 or 2002. The only issue I had was it was really hard to steer because it was full time 4 wheel drive and no power steering. Later year bikes had a switch to change from 2 wheel to 4 wheel drive. In one year I only put 75 miles on it so I put it up for sale for $4500 (MSRP new was $7009). The new owners son (14 years old) totally destroyed the bike in a high speed roll over in less than 8 days from purchase. Robin in Philipp, WV.
Also a couple weeks after the crash the boy's father stopped by and tried to tell me I sold them a bike with steering problems. I told him that is not what I said, I told him it steered hard because it was always in four wheel drive and Honda should have made the bike with power steer. The dad was not wanting to see the fact that his little boy was at fault. This was not the first bike this boy had torn up. I'm just glad the kid didn't get hurt to bad.
@@robinsnyder8877 Tried to pin it on you, huh? With an old man like that the kid is in for a world of hurt because whatever happens it won't be his fault. Usually does not end well.
I know they make motorcycle and UTV lifts. But which one do we need to tag on IG or wherever else to get you one for when you build the new shop for a sponsor? Also when you build the new shop have a wash bay on the outside of it.
If you sandblast the racks and give them a coat of black paint and restore the plastics correctly, this will clean up beautifully. The rest of the package is already clean from the engine to the chassis, and even the wheels look nice. If you take care of it properly, you'll be able to get top dollar for it, but if you cheap out, you won't get the kind of money this quad is capable of delivering. Who knows maybe after it's done it could be something you'd want to keep. This is just my two cents from years of experience flipping these same types of recreational vehicles.
Xr600r or a kdx200 maybe a atc250r all videos id love to watch! Miss my kdx but still have the other 2 and a warrior. Suzuki 850gs yamaha seca ii & super sherpa cant forget my xr75 from 1979 . Learned how to ride on that beast

The Mister Clean pads people use in their kitchens and bathrooms can be a great tool in the garage. Makes a lot of jobs easier. Found this out, not too long ago.
That may be one of the best buys I have heard of. I bought a 2013 Polaris Ranger 570 with 2500 miles for $7500 five years ago and it was absolutely worth it. Works on our farm ever day and only had regular maintenance with no problems at all. Has almost 10000 miles on it now.
If it were me I would have sprayed those racks with Rhinoliner or a cheap Walmart bed liner. It would look better than all of the missing paint you can clearly see under your new paint. Or at the very least take the time to sand them down to bare metal, use a good primer/sealer, and repaint. For no more than you have in that quad, a little extra attention on the paint details are warranted. But great video and good buy.

Also, that KX125 is a screamer huh, should have seen it new ;-) oh and in racing, the KX125 would kick my KD125 in the pants, however the KX power band was gone by 4th (short shifts) and the KD rotary valve kept the power band longer, smoke em in 4th and 5th LOL
My 06 Rancher 400 had a calibration process for the electronic shift that involved pushing a combination of buttons at the same time. May be something similar on the Rubicon. I found it on the Honda forums and it solved some similar issues with mine.
Man, I was worried about that boat sitting out all winter. You’re really going to bless someone with summer right around the corner
I'm still riding an '01 model with 6500 miles on the odometer. New top end and a few other things, but the bottom end is still as tight as brand new. The worst habit people get into is not changing the oils on a regular basis, not adjusting the valves or, not keeping the mud cleaned out of the radiator. In my experience, they're almost bulletproof if you keep up the regular maintenance. Doesn't have a front diff lock but with a good set of knobby tires and just knowing how to ride makes up for it anywhere I ride. Don't get me wrong, a front diff lock would be nicer, but it should be in no way a deal breaker for anyone. These are excellent machines. I'm amazed you got it for $400. But, WOW, that thing is dirty.
Just a minor suggestion a big light (hands free) to help you with oil changes when you are under a 4 wheeled vehicle or anything come to mention. Also nice for viewers. Love your content keep up the hard work really appreciate it....from UK
I own the 2004 version of this. I’ve done all the maintenance and oil changes, etc. You did a really good job making sure everything was healthy. It appears to have had virtually no maintenance at 6500 miles. The Rubicon is such a great workhorse and as you know fully automatic. I did have a cut out not running issue and it turned out to simply be the spark plug. They say do a new spark plug every thousand miles and mine made it almost 2000 miles.
Rear differential..."Maybe it's been changed" Why would you even give this consideration? Air filter, lack of motor oil, the seat,... it's painfully obvious at this point, that maintenance was never a priority in the life of this vehicle. Good for you that (hopefully) you caught this terminal problem of no maintenance, before it was too late.
Great deal there, polish up the plastics, sand paint the rust. Get sensor. Very nice score. And pretty impressed, free boat. Giveaway. Much respect .
The fact that it still runs well after eating that much sand is a testament to Hondas build quality. I hope you cleaned the whole air intake
I bought a used good condition 02 Rubicon in 2015 for 3300 been soild reliable since upgraded the front brakes to disc brakes put a Warn 4x2x4 disconnect and an HMF utility exhaust been great
ESP will clear if you turn handlebars full left to full right when in a stationary position, ESP typically triggers when a flat battery or new battery installed most of the time
Wow, when I saw the lack of an air filter, I thought ho my god, the engine will need a rebuild. And in the end, it's running great and it does not seem to lack power. Great buy!
What was that round thing he pulled off wasn’t that a filter perfect
I guess you have to look at it as a rescue from non maintenance 😊
Naval jelly could be used for the rusty bits. That and a wire brush, sandpaper

dont worry he wont even pay attention to this comment lol
@@TheMostDangerousWayPossible I didn't write it for him.
@@TheMostDangerousWayPossiblethe hells that supposed to mean
You should let people know not any oil with additives can be used in those Hondas. It causes clutches to slip seen this happen a couple times. Enjoy your channel keep up the good work!!!
Brilliant video Joe watching from Edinburgh Scotland UK 🇬🇧 👏 👍
I was squinting my eyes after watching him do donuts in the dust because he didnt show him self installing the new air filter , i wonder if he forgot? hmmmm
great content on your channel, ive been binge watching all week. Keep up the great content.
My friend!!! Please go back to the husaberg fix the electric starter and show us you can fix the rest of it WE BELIEVE IN YOU!
I think he just needed a break from it but I bet he gets it fixed he never gives up easily.
His legs still hurts from kicking it 😂 rather him than me. I agree tho he will fix and we wana see him do it
Joe, I mentioned this before, but UA-cam isn't notifying me and others when you put out new videos; I have the notification bell activated, and still no notifications.
Also, you might consider making your own air filters. Just use the same housing, but buy you the mesh at most stores like Hobby Lobby, Walmart.., and grab a bottle of fabric glue and you're all set.
I make almost all my air filters for my bikes, ATVs, tractors, snowmobiles...😊
Check to see if your still subscribed
@@Papachuckk I am.
This is happening to others as well; I got an email from a friend who's also subscribed, and he said he doesn't get notified either.
Same issues for me. I checked mine it says I’m subscribed but I haven’t received any notification either!
Another channel I watch "Now You Know" recently said that the youtube algorithm thinks after being subscribed for a long time, you will have grown out of a channel so notifications stop.
They recommended unsubscribing then resubscribing and click the bell again to reset.
@@DDLovett Weird!
I have the 2014, last year they made it, trail edition with power steering. 1800km in mint condition. love the Honda-matic! I'm only 9 mins in, cant wait to see how this vid goes.
I had the same problem with the gear position sensor on my Polaris sportsman.
There was a connector on the gear position harness that was reading the wrong ohm or no ohm load. I was able to cut off the old resistor pack and solder a new set in place. Pretty easy fix.
Honda engineers are really the best! Honda’s might not be the fastest all the time, but they are the most reliable and have the greatest thought in design, in my opinion. Fantastic deal on this one, Joe. Vinny would’ve advised buying it too, I’m sure.
You're right about Honda building the best machines. I remember as a kid, my brother and I were in line to get a pair of MX bikes. We found a pair of Honda CR 125s ('86 models) at a nearby dealer, so my father took us to check them out, but when he made the dealer an offer he refused because he knew these bikes were the best on the market and that Honda didn't import enough of them to cover the demand so he stuck to the full price. My father passed, and we ended up finding what ended up being our go-to dealer who was Deerfield Suzuki, in Massachusetts. The owner was a great guy and always gave my old man a great deal on bikes/quads and anything else we needed so we ended up taking home an RM 125 ('85 leftover) and an '86 RM 250 and we couldn't have been happier.
Honda scaled back on performance because they were the focus of the lawsuits that stemmed from the 250r. Trust me, if Honda wanted to dominate in performance, they would do it very easily. Instead, they prefer keeping the reputation they have
@@stkyfngrszmoothI'll take an rm any day of the week. Suzuki definitely made some good machines
@@staygold902 I'm with you 💯% there. I was a hardcore Suzuki guy in my racing days. My last bike was an '02 RM 125, and that thing handled unbelievably well. All I had to do was think about it and it would do the cornering for me. I really loved that bike.
After the past couple of months and all the garbage machines you have had to deal with, it'a about time you got lucky. Looks like fin, thanks for bringing me along for the ride.
If you plan to keep the Honda, I would replace the oil pump chain. Also, buy a spare shift angle sensor. The double lines on the dash could be as simple as a linkage adjustment, or could be the shift motor, angle sensor or ECU/wiring.
I was born in 2007... anyways I like that you offered more when it started,😂 it's good to see
Found this:
Hondamatic Transmission Code Retrieval
1. Put the gear shift lever in neutral (be sure the neutral indicator comes on) and the ignition switch OFF (vehicle at a stop).
2. While pushing the UP and DOWN shift switches (ESP) simultaneously, turn the ignition key to the on position.
3. Release the UP and DOWN switches immediately, then at the same time push both the UP and DOWN shift switches again and hold form more than 2 seconds.
4. The problem code is displayed by a certain number of blinks “ - - “ on the gear indicator, which indicates the problem code by the number of blinks. If “N” (neutral) stays ON on the position indicator, the retrieval process was not correctly performed. Repeat the procedures from step one at this time.)
5. When the problem code(s) displays, release the shift switches.
You should see “ - - “ for approximately 3 seconds then off, then the “ - - “ should flash, once for code one, twice for code two and so on. The engine control module (ECM) can store two different codes. If your ECM has stored two different codes, the first code displayed is the most recent and the second code is the earlier code. Write them down.
To Erase the Problem Codes
1. Push and hold the UP and DOWN shift switches simultaneously for 3 seconds of more while the problem code is being displayed (i.e., “ - - “ blinking on the gear position indictor).
2. When the erasure is completed, the blinking pattern changes to the erasure confirmation blink.
3. Turn the ignition off

I ever read that Honda engineers and developers always keep the customer behaviour in mind, in terms of use and maintenance because they know many will just neglect and abuse them. So the quality standard is very high and the setup is as simple as it can be.
Everything functions, mecanically and electronically even after been covered in a thick layer of mud and oil levels on questionable readings. Just staggeringly good!
I’m sure that engine is saying THANK YOU for the oil change!! How can someone not take care of a nice machine like that? Nice find, nice save!!!
Get sponsors brother! You deserve the cash for all of the content you put out!
No sponsors... Don't need to kneel to some cronie corporation or be pushed into raising flags (shilling) for stuff you don't fully stand by. Stay with the UA-cam partner program and let the organic growth happen imo
He needs a lift sponsor.@@skunkworks9-3

2vintage, use Rotella T4. It's wet clutch approved and a lot of people use it for their atv's and motorcycles. Plus it's only ~$15 at walmart for a gallon jug. Just a thought
I use Rotella 15W40 in my lawn mower.
@@MrTruckerf it's good stuff
May I suggest using rust converter paint before using regular paint. It’ll last longer. Good job I like your work.

@2vintage - Hope you put some kind of air filter in. Going through those dust clouds can't be good for the carb.
I have a similar honda rubicon and they are pretty finicky about oil level because it powers and lubricates the huge transmission as well
Nice job on this one Joe!
On those Hondas there’s a shifter solenoid that goes bad and won’t read what gear it’s in on the dash had the same issue with my 07 rincon 660, my reverse wouldn’t show on dash and I replaced the solenoid and everything worked
Congratulations on the purchase what a great deal!
As always, great video too
And giving away the boat will make someone's day ❤
Sometimes with a FREE sign on it people will be leery but if he put $750 on the sign someone would steal it within hours.
I need a four-wheeler for my daughter to use around our property. I only find ppl trying to sell broke ones for 2500..lol. i need to buy one from you!!!
It's good to see there are people who honor the original deal. Most people I've dealt with would've jacked the price up.
Yeah seller was awesome
Farmers are honest people.
Most would have cancelled the deal and held on to it.
The seller should have said, very sorry but my wife made a mistake and offered Joe $100 for the mistake.
@@billhenry7833 Excellent. That's the way I would have handled it.
Too bad there’s no snow.
Ur THE man Joe.
Husaberg …..
Angle sensor is shot easy fix just did mine on the rubicon or it’s your throttle position sensor but I’m leaning towards angle right under your header pipe bud make sure you preload the sensor when you swap it
Chem tool B12 injection cleaner could not be bad too pure into gas tank as well ?I would.
You do such good work on these quads. I don't understand why you would drain and fill the differentials. Why mix new oil with old ?
Joe, looks like the shifter positioning sensor has a lot of dirt in it. No surprise here considering how much dirt was all over this unit. I'm thinking to remove this sensor and clean it out. Might even need a new one.
I have an older honda (93) 4 wheeler and the original book, and it actually says to screw the dipstick in and then back out to check the oil. Also someone on a forum I asked about it said that is in fact true. but ultimately it just meant the difference between being at the top of the dipstick and at the midpoint. Someone said that is still the way to check a honda. When I asked about the 2020.
at 46:00 on video, it's about time I see you enjoy yourself Joe. Have more fun on your videos and enjoy your time.
They have seat covers on Amazon for $34. I just put one on my honda. Didn't even have to trim it. Fit perfect.
The code is from angle sensor or something to do the carburetor. Something happened to my 04 rubicon. But mine would go in forward and reverse but wouldn't shift
Wow Joe......this was a super deal.Kinda makes up for the times that your sellers lied about what they were selling you.Basically.....you stold that rig for the price.....and seems like from honest people.Kind of gives you some hope that fact that not all people are smuks and scammers.I do wish you would do an install of a new winch set up.My 99 Grizzly needs one and i have the kit but would help if i saw it done.With the battery in the back under the seat.Thanks
!!
Sensor, seat cover, tires, rock on!! Nice machine, Joe.
What do you do with all these cool toys once you fix them? Considering what the oil and air filter looked like, I doubt they changed any diff fluids. I'm surprised you don't have some sort of lift table, and a sand blaster would be helpful also.
I have the 2017 500 Rubicon with the manual shift, P/S, front 4 whl diff lock, and 2 whl or 4 whl switch and the IRS rear end diff and fuel injection, A HUGE difference from a 2015 1985 Big Red that finally dropped the bottom end when it ate the starter drive gear, when you open the fuel injection 500 up you better be hanging on when in 4whl lock, things are going to HAPPEN and FAST!!. The 2107 engine is quite different than that one with the auto in it, dont think I would like the auto stuff , something else to screw up later. I heard you say she said it would just quit , my 2017 done a weird thing like that , it threw a code for the sensor in the exhaust occasionally, then one day it would just shut off and then backfire out the exhaust going down a gravel road. Found it was the sparkplug after I watched a YT vid, the guy had the same thing happen, only he changed a BUNCH of parts from his buddies bike and didnt fix it until the plug was changed, never seen a plug do that, usually it starts missing or clowning around, not just shut totally off with less than a 1000 miles and never abused or in water. And he said his would get started up and shut off frequently and not run that much. I heard yours stumble a couple times like plug was fading out like mine did. I seen the boat trailer going for free to, I would have pulled the parts off and maybe sold, or for free, and used the trailer axle and stub axles and tires to make a trailer, that is just as wide as the rear on the Rubicon to clear trees etc on paths, and a frame out of angle, and a tongue just long enough that you can jackknife it to turn around easier in woods and NOT hit the bed, you got to put the trailer axle about 1 to 11/2 " forward from center of gravity on trailer, so some weight is on rear axle , but not a lot, and a boat trailer hitch you had on trailer. On mine I used conveyor belting for the floor and sides, that shtuff IS TOUGH and lasts forever!! I used it for deer hunting , dragging cut up wood out of the woods, about 4 wheel barrels ,out of some of the gnarleist places imageable without tearing the woods up, and getting rocks out of creeks with fossils in it for a sidewalk I made here, .
You should drain the metal shavings out of the rear diff😂 I know it's a lot of extra work removing the skid plate to do the job right but I believe in you
That year honda is AWESOME!!! I have a rancher with that shift forward and reverse makes plowing and moving the bike around AWSOME... Cleaned up that would sell around NH for 2500 instantly. They are awesome machines and mine should have been dead LONG ago with how I use it. I think its more reliable then the new ones Honda makes.
Code blinking ESP (electric shift program) at 12:03
I'll admit I don't always wash things before working on em, but anything even near that I'd definitely clean up first. Super satisfying to watch lol. Good deal too.
What a find! I think those tires are original too Honda's came with either Dunlop's or Bridgestone tires for a while. My 04 Rubicon 500 still has it's original tires on it and only like 4000kms.
Also to add to that, the HondaMatic transmission shares the engine oil that's why it's important to keep fluids up to date and I believe why there is 2 drain plugs!
When you put it in gear and it doesn't show on display just tap the gas a bit and I'll go into the gear lower high. I have a 2009 with 11,000 km it's been doing that since new
I really enjoy watching your videos Joe!
If you just start taking the time to really clean your parts and bolts perfectly you would honestly perfect your skill set and be an “absolute mechanic”
In cleaning I mean really cleaning your parts I.e sending cases out for vapor honing and or sandblasting, running parts through a parts washer and that sort of thing.
Bikemaster makes a really good portable parts washer that is perfect for someone who doesn’t necessarily have the space for a stand alone parts washer.
Nice work, I would say that if the battery isn't a sealed unit then you should top it up with distilled water and give it a charge. Not gonna lie, that bent rear rack bothers my OCD 😅
Sound like 4x4 actuator . About a 40 dollar part. Just the sound of the grind when it shift between high low. Just a guess with all the mud. Add another hundred for what it cost to wash it😊
40:58 Gear shift Motor lock? use a screwdriver and turn the reduction gear until it's freed up
This is how you make a living, you deserve it !
WOW, What a Deal ! ! ! Looks and sounds really solid ! Congrats ! ! !

I have a 1995 Honda 300 Fourtrax looks great runs great, my father in law had this and only road it to the top of the hill at his house fox hunting and back and forth cross the creek to feed his dogs,
Sadly he passed and my wife ended up with it, it’s never been abused going 4 wheeling he never did that with it while he had it nor have I
Great machines. We have 4 of them, 2 older than this one. Looking for another. We use them in interior Alaska. If you absolutely have to get home, Honda.
I won a brand new Honda 500 Rubicon with a $10 raffle ticket that was a fundraiser for a local police department. I think this was in 2001 or 2002. The only issue I had was it was really hard to steer because it was full time 4 wheel drive and no power steering. Later year bikes had a switch to change from 2 wheel to 4 wheel drive. In one year I only put 75 miles on it so I put it up for sale for $4500 (MSRP new was $7009). The new owners son (14 years old) totally destroyed the bike in a high speed roll over in less than 8 days from purchase. Robin in Philipp, WV.
But how was the kid. Really
The boy was hurt but is OK. He was thrown from the bike while the bike continued on rolling over and over. There was noting left but a twisted mess.
Also a couple weeks after the crash the boy's father stopped by and tried to tell me I sold them a bike with steering problems. I told him that is not what I said, I told him it steered hard because it was always in four wheel drive and Honda should have made the bike with power steer. The dad was not wanting to see the fact that his little boy was at fault. This was not the first bike this boy had torn up. I'm just glad the kid didn't get hurt to bad.
@@robinsnyder8877 Tried to pin it on you, huh? With an old man like that the kid is in for a world of hurt because whatever happens it won't be his fault. Usually does not end well.
Looks ruff,but that price is a steal Joe,cracking find brother!👌🔥💯🤝
I know they make motorcycle and UTV lifts. But which one do we need to tag on IG or wherever else to get you one for when you build the new shop for a sponsor? Also when you build the new shop have a wash bay on the outside of it.
If you sandblast the racks and give them a coat of black paint and restore the plastics correctly, this will clean up beautifully. The rest of the package is already clean from the engine to the chassis, and even the wheels look nice. If you take care of it properly, you'll be able to get top dollar for it, but if you cheap out, you won't get the kind of money this quad is capable of delivering. Who knows maybe after it's done it could be something you'd want to keep. This is just my two cents from years of experience flipping these same types of recreational vehicles.
Xr600r or a kdx200 maybe a atc250r all videos id love to watch! Miss my kdx but still have the other 2 and a warrior. Suzuki 850gs yamaha seca ii & super sherpa cant forget my xr75 from 1979 . Learned how to ride on that beast
My first street bike was a yamaha Seca 400 I took my dmv riding test on it good old days lol good running bike it was
Mines the 600 its super comfy compared to my old ninja. Need to go threw the carbs and will be good to go again. Has low miles too
Pretty much any beaten and thrashed Honda will keep going and good on the seller for doing the right thing same thing I would have done
I think if you ground out the gear position sensor it will bypass it and should allow normal operation.
Hondas are the best on the market in basically all categories and u cannot hardly kill them had a few over the yrs and loved ''em all flip ''em flood ''em rolled one 3~4 times give them a min to settle back down and they'll fire right back up luv them Hondas if ever get another one it's gonna b a Honda does Honda make a side by side ? U seen the tiny suitcase electric scooter thing they make it looks a folded up suitcase
These were jetted super lean from honda. I upsized the pilot (idle) jet 1 size. Starts much easier and idles much better.
The Mister Clean pads people use in their kitchens and bathrooms can be a great tool in the garage. Makes a lot of jobs easier. Found this out, not too long ago.
Bought a 2015 Polaris 570 for $1500 needed nothing. Only had 915 miles on it. Older lady got it serviced at a local Honda dealer. Been a great atv!
That may be one of the best buys I have heard of. I bought a 2013 Polaris Ranger 570 with 2500 miles for $7500 five years ago and it was absolutely worth it. Works on our farm ever day and only had regular maintenance with no problems at all. Has almost 10000 miles on it now.
I like how the rotating mass sounds buttery with the fresh oil.
Reminds me of one of those abandoned puppy videos. Once it's washed up and fed (basic maintaince parts) it's happy again! 🤣🤣
If it were me I would have sprayed those racks with Rhinoliner or a cheap Walmart bed liner. It would look better than all of the missing paint you can clearly see under your new paint. Or at the very least take the time to sand them down to bare metal, use a good primer/sealer, and repaint. For no more than you have in that quad, a little extra attention on the paint details are warranted. But great video and good buy.
So Joe, did you fix the left handle bar grip lever mounting? Wasn't it broken?
It the gear Possessing Sensor located by the pull start had the same problem with mine
a new one fixed the problem?
Yes it did and the code the pop up is for the angle sensor located under the exhaust. There linked together that's why it flashin
@@Bootz17420 so if I fix the gear sensor it will prevent the angle sensor from giving codes?
