Thanks for all the advice on buying. Picked up an '04 ES @ Chattanooga for $4083 + tax. Love it, but took it out to the I-81 Motosports Park last weekend & I might have problem. Didn't want to change gears smoothly even when riding on level ground & sometimes wouldn't shift at all. I've briefly searched the forums & I'm going to find time to do some of the recommendations I've found. Also, there is a distinctive "bump" from what I believe is the right rear wheel when rolling. I know with cars that have sat for a while they get a flat spot in the tires, but it's strange it's in only one tire. Has anyone else had this problem? If I don't find any answers I will probably post a new thread about my questions & of course will be calling the dealership, but thanks in advance for any advice anyway.

Honda Is letting there 2004 450 foremans go cheap with the new 2005s coming in.They are plow masters

 

I have 2 honda ranchers. A 350 and a 450. The 350 is a 2000 model its has never had any problems till this year. the reverse wouldn't work unless it got wet. First thing to come to mind is a short.. finally after looking through the manual i found a sensor the goes in the bottom of the engine. pop it off and clean it works perfect. the 450 rancher is a 2004 model and reverse quit on it about 4 months after purchased but it was a simple fix. i say the hondas are a great investment , the only thing is buy bigger tires wider and taller. It helps in the mud and keeps u from bottoming out. good luck with your purchase...
