I love seeing you work on the Yamahas but it’s nice to see the Honda’s in the shop! There is a lot of stuff I can’t seem to find on the TRX450ER on UA-cam. Off course I am a Honda owner and am looking to build any knowledge I can on my machine. And I know you know what your doing! Keep the Honda’s around! Love the content!
Ononewheel7 your a great quad mechanic there's only 2 people I let work on mine me and my close friend but I would let you anytime keep the high standards great video 📹
Hey man,came across your video as I’m trying to get some new a arms on my bike and was just curious if you know the name of what you used to get the a arm out of the knuckle?? Gave it a shot with a pickle fork but no luck. Appreciate the video👊🏼
do you by chance know what shocks the 450r takes if you put the +2.25 A arms on that because we cant find anything and we dont know where to get them if you could help that would be much appreciated
Off the top of my head no. Usually any a arm you buy has specs online for what length shock they take. I know my setup takes a 21” shock its a long travel xc setup.
I just installed these on my 05 and can't seem to get the camber set to 0 to start. Maybe I'm adjusting the camber wrong but don't you just loosen the nylon nut to move the tire away from the ATV and tighten it to move it in? I'm out of threads trying to move it out and not sure what I'm doing wrong.
So Walsh has a great video on setting up caster and camber and toe. You need to unbolt the shocks front/rear and set the quad on a jack or stand at ride height so for me with the yfz450r its 7”. Then you can set toe, camber. Caster i run -3 with the houser a arms for xc. If your an mx guy then you may want to go 0 - +3
I know with the yfz450r’s we basically have to set the ball joint all the way out wish they would correct that with a longer upper A arm or a longer ball joint setup.
@@ononewheel7 Agreed. If I set the camber to 0 degrees I don't have enough threads to put the nylon nut back on. I'm afraid my only solution will be way too much camber or try and find a nylon nut that's not as thick as the one it came with.
So the houser +1 arms are actually just 3/4" wider than stock? I assume you're running a 4:1 offset front wheel to be at 46-1/2"... Wouldn't a stock a-arm and 3:2 offset wheel (which is close to the stock trx wheel) make roughly the same width? A 4:1 offset would theoretically handle better though...
Thats rite. I am running a 4-1 wheel not sure on stock trx a arms i no they are narrower so w a 3-2 wheel it could be a touch wider but this setup also gives you full adjustment of caster/camper
@@ononewheel7 Thanks, i'm just looking at these arms but it's more recreational for us. i'm running Teixeira Tech upper ball joints on stock arms that give camber adjustment but the caster adjustment would sure be nice...Houser doesn't offer a +2 standard travel for some reason...great video btw
So I have question. I just purchased some houser a arms for my trx. I see Mike has a steering stabilizer. Would that be a helpful to have when I go to change my a arms as well
@@ononewheel7 thx… I trail ride mostly wider trails because of sxs would wider a arms or better shocks help more for rough conditions? Get a lot of arm pump/fatigue. Thx for your help
Reguardless of a arms suspension is going to be were you want to spend some money! Now you can send the stock shocks out for a revalve and re spring for your weight or go after market shocks! If you ever wanted to race xc i would suggest xc width a arms but lots of people run wide quads that are not super serious about it!
I ride a Honda too and a lot of amateurs ride Hondas, but most of pros ride yam. I really hope honda makes a new sport quad, but I doubt they will. Hopefully yam doesn't stop making theirs anytime soon. It saddens me to think sport quads will die out
@Jeff Gayzose jeez man imagine if yamaha stops which i wouldn’t be surprised if they did we always hear rumors that this is the last year it could become reality i sure hope not an i hope honda get back in the game!
@@ononewheel7 from what I've seen there is still a lot of demand for sport atvs, so I hope yam continues to make and them and keep the sport alive. It'll be a sad day when they stop
you did it wrong !!!!! youre suppose to us a metal hammer banging on the nice new pretty a arms chipping the powder coating off like SOME people do on youtube lmao

Im always happy to help my buddy’s no matter what brand they bring over! I like having other content as well beside always the yamaha stuff so!
Love seeing the Honda's infiltrate. Awesome work
Thanks man!
Spam comments aside; terrific video as always. Love to see the TRX crowd getting work done! Thanks for this one John.
Thanks man!
Whats the deal w that seems like a lot of it lately!
@@ononewheel7 Yep, bots for clickbait revenue I assume. Hopefully you can delete them all.

Thanks mickey 🤘
I love the pliers being used as a hammer 😆🤣😂 I guess whatever works
Thats the electrician in me 😬😬😬
Yeah I have small Allen set screws in mine and not the zerks....was wondering if it changed? Nope.Lol ...love the vids man!
You could change them out but just not the front lower ones as they will hit!
Dont forget to have those shocks reworked for those A Arms.
Also, I like that lift cart you have. Where did you get it?
He did have these recently serviced so he should he good for now! Thats from harbor freight the 500lb lift table!
Mike mike mike mike mike ! Love the Honda content john !
thanks man! there has been a lot lately!
good to see another video 👍
Seems like im working on Honda’s a lot lately 🤣🤣🤣
@@ononewheel7 i know 😂😂
I dont mind helping my buddies out! Give me some more content and something different vs yfz450r vids all day long 🤣🤣
@@ononewheel7 yea lol 😂
Great video buddy
Loved it when you asked him ...
Have you got a power washer 😂
Hope you gave him the broom after 🧹
hahaha he did sweep afterwards but I always gta bust his chops!
Awesome video! Always enjoy your content man.
Thank you
Brother I’m glad I got your Channel u teaching me a lot about this quad game💪🏾👑
Glad my channel is helping people 🤘
thanks for the videos, we learn a lot, hey what kind watch do you have there, Garmin ?
Thanks man. Ya its a garmin fhenix 5x watch
Just sold these arms to go long travel, houser is wicked
nice!
John you have to take the grease fittings off and put in the plugs. Or they will break off...
I'm so sorry didn't watch the whole video, your the man should have know better, lol
We just had to cap that front lower one! Kinda sucks wish they were in a better spot so he could keep them in place!
@@ononewheel7 I know bad design, I like how you put the upper ones on, I capped my uppers
@@johnbruzzi4381 its a pain to keep changing the grease fitting/caps!
Hell yeah amazing content
Thanks man!
I need to find one of those ball joint seperators! That is a great tool.
Its an awesome tool i scored it years ago from someone on facebook!

It was just a ball joint separator i got from a guy on facebook i think it was years ago. You could try searching on ebay for one.
That was pretty fast. Nice
Thanks wasn’t too bad of a project!
Great video you show it all really help me out when I installed mine
To bad the music was so loud you can barley hear a word you say entire time
Thank you
Sorry about the music. This an older video back then i didn’t use a microphone now i do so the audio is way better
I have the black plastic love the white i think im going to buy a oem set off ebay its like 900$ for everything but they look sick
The black looks killer i just got a set and it was like 820.00 shipped so crazy last time i bought them in 2020 they were 500.00 shipped.
@ononewheel7 fucking biden everything is his fault yah i like the black but the scratches show like crazy anyway sick content take it easy bro
If you cover them w graffix they look mint and are protected
so much dirt falling out of that bad boy lol. Heres a little dirt just to say thanx for doing my A arms lol
I always razz him he leaves so much dirt behind hahaha but he did sweep my floor so its all good!
@@ononewheel7 good deal, as a friend should
@@kingkracker1998 oh ya!
Aw hell yea honda gang baby
🤣
Nice. I like my houser a arms.
they are great!
Is there any benefit to a aluminum sprocket guard over the poly ones ?
Some people prefer the poly as its a little easier on the carrier and absorbs more of the blow vs going threw the carrier! I run the aluminum one!
@@ononewheel7 I’ll try the aluminum one if I win the giveaway 😎
@@adamkane9410 hahaha
Always good content brother looks good💯🤙
Thanks man! He needed this bigtime he got the rear hubs swapped out so the rear is narrow too!
@@ononewheel7 its definitely a big Improvement he looks like a big guy to I'm sure he's going to like it 👍
We tested out out this past saturday and he already was surprised how much better it was!
do you by chance know what shocks the 450r takes if you put the +2.25 A arms on that because we cant find anything and we dont know where to get them if you could help that would be much appreciated

They should have a mx width setup but maybe they dont. If you buy from them be sure and use my code and save 10%. Thanks man.
I really wish to be your camera man when you work on my Quad, only one ocean between us. Great job John :)
Road trip well plane trip actually 🤣🤣🤣
@@ononewheel7 Starting plans immediately, but if/when I came, I will ride race Quad 💪🏻
So I have question. I just purchased some houser a arms for my trx. I see Mike has a steering stabilizer. Would that be a helpful to have when I go to change my a arms as well
A stabilizer is a must have mod in my opinion!
@@ononewheel7 I don’t do any racing. My bike is strictly dunes.
Still a must have!
@@ononewheel7 how come.
It helps w overall performance fatigue bumps steer and rough terriegn in general
👍👍👍👍👊
Did y'all sale the ones you took off?
They are gone yes.
that sprocket guard would look killer on my 250r lol
It will fit 😬
👍👍
how wide was the bike before the new a arms and how wide is it now ?
Be had mx a arms on it so it was like 49” way to wide for xc now he is 46.5” which is perfect!
@@ononewheel7 sweet and you have houser a arms also right ?
👍👍👍
#savesportquads
🤘🤘🤘🤘
What kind of a arms did you take off?
Not sure of the brand but they were mx width and standard travel!
@@ononewheel7 thx… I trail ride mostly wider trails because of sxs would wider a arms or better shocks help more for rough conditions? Get a lot of arm pump/fatigue. Thx for your help

@@ononewheel7 thank you!!
If you want some housers you get 10% off using my code 😬😬😬
I hate on my trx there is no grease points on my buddies yfz there all over
Ya you have to seal them off on the trx it sucks the yfz you can leave the greese zerks on
why would he want +1 a arms for xc that makes your quad wider and wouldn’t you want your quad skinnier for xc 🤦♂️
so the stock Honda is actually narrower so they call it plus 1 for the yfz its plus 3/4" its 46.5" wide rite now!
@@ononewheel7 ohhh ok
Some job
Was a fun little install happy he’s down to xc width now!
The hondas are starting to die out, I like yamaha's but I'm still riding a honda. Oh and glann innovations has the best product(not sponsored) lol

Good afternoon Mr Davis
Everything but a hammer being used as a hammer. 🤷🏼♂️. Lol do the same thing
Id rather not miss w a hammer against the a arms being an electrician i use my pliers a lot for many things 🤣🤣🤣🤣
