just purchased this 00 foreman 450es, has 5000 miles on it, so i changed the oil , replaced all bearings all the way around with all ***** racing bearings & seals and such, put everything back together and this........

took it out yesterday for first time since changing oil (with honda geniune fluid per dealer), now when i took off, it wasnt pulling like it was when i first bought it, it pulled its **** off.

now it will barely go!

what do you all suggest, and it i replace all the clutches, what should i buy??

thanks guys!

 

When you changed the oil filter, did it get reinstalled the correct way. Its posible to install it backwards, which will starve the motor and clutch for oil.

How does it roll in neutral? Can you push it by hand, or does it seem to have too much resistance.

 

yep, made sure of it being new with atv's, give me a honda car, im strait, but atv's a whole different world.

the filter said which side to the cover, glad it did, i took the cover off and the filter shot out on my shop floor.

does act like it is in neutral in neutral, rolls easily, it did good for a few minutes , now will not pull at all.

do they make a set of performance clutches? which brand is best and what should i do.

thanks guys for the help
