Just bought one of these, going to do stage0 on it then rip around the place. After this false spring, with the next snow its driftin' time. I'm more into dual sport motorcycles, but with this now my kids can come with.
I feel that. Just picked up a Suzuki Katana for cheap. Bikes are a blast but much prefer the 400EX for taking my nephew around the yard. Can’t beat these Hondas.
I just picked up a 2006 Honda trx250ex for $400 not running was told needed a new top end but the engine looks clean inside there was no oil was able to see shiny metal. My first diagnosis was neutral light not coming on when turn key to on got a reverse light on though, then I saw that the neutral fuse box assembly was missing and hot wired together. I just ordered a new part for 50$ online I’m wondering if that is the only problem hopefully.
@@backcountrybuilds thanks 🙏 my part comes Friday. I also flipped an old 80$ phone for a predator engine go kart which I got running and traded for non running 90cc Baja atv which I then flipped for $800 but I’m more excited about this Honda project I just got my hands on. You live in Alaska?
Hi, from your video the carburetor had two rubber tubes 1. from the bottom of the carburetor. 2. on the side of the carburetor. Where do they connect? I understand that 2. the lower tube returns excess fuel to the fuel tank through the cap at the top? and 1. the tube connecting to the vacuum in front of the carburetor, or where?
Here’s a link to a labeled diagram, which should help. www.partzilla.com/catalog/honda/atv/2004/trx250ex-a-sportrax-250ex/carburetor I no longer have the machine and somehow missed your comment! My apologies for getting back to you so late. Let me know if that diagram doesn’t get you anywhere and I’ll search through some UA-cam videos and see if we can’t get you an answer. Thanks for watching and best of luck.
Hi, good video, thanks, i got one of this and im just like hobbie fixit up but im not a mecanik, did u think if i put some motor flush, can ruin the wet clutch? Or its ok?

That’s awesome, man! Best of luck. Even if it does need more, you’re set. It’ll be worth it.

Heck yeah
drop the air pressure to 11 front 10 rear
Will do. She was definitely a little bumpy with that much air pressure. Thanks

I usually steer clear. Just change the oil twice if you’re concerned haha, that’s what I did
@@backcountrybuilds thanks!
@@backcountrybuilds really thank u man, i dont know anything about quads, so i learn a lot whit your vids.
@@Z28lt193 hell yeah. Keep it up, it’s super fun stuff. Been messing with a lot of boats/jetskis after moving out of Alaska
@@backcountrybuilds thats amazing! Thank u for sharing!
What’s funny I’m corbins buddy and I ride a 2014 arctic cat 925 big bore we should go riding
Hell yeah man, always down to rip. We’ll be out and about this weekend for sure
your vid would be much more enjoyable if you canned the music. Seriously, it is very annoying
I’ll make that change. Thanks for the heads up
