check your air filter, has it been cleaned lately , is the air intake tube clear. when was the last time you checked the spark plug.how about the fuel you have been using ,is it clean ? have you ever cleaned the tank or checked the filters. the 350 honda is a dependable quad, the problem is probably not serious.

 

check that your rear brake lever(foot lever) hasn't seized, can make it strain a bit untill you cook the rear brake real good.

 

i have a 04 350 rancher es and i have the same problem it topes out at 43 but i think my problem is the air filter it is nasty. i'm gogin to clean it tomorrow. but my rear brake foot lever has seized up in the open postition so i can't use it. how do i fix this?

 

Make sure your choke is open all the way

 

does it have any probs starting?

 

i had the same prob. i changed the oil , oil filter and cleaned the air filter and box . from then on it has ran fine
