hello to all i am new to this fourm i just got a 2006 rancher at is has 1500 miles on it and its like new i have never owned a 4 wheeler like this are they as good as the other hondas i know honda maker good stuff my brother has a 96 300 4x4 and it still runs like new and has rode it hard i just dont know about the at tranny and esp it has alot of power and pulls like a brute i pulled my dads 95 4x4 car up hill with it when he broke down and do i have to use honda oil in it thats what the guy i got it from used is it better oil and one more thing people talk about the angle senisor getting wet were is it at and what does it look like how can i water pruff it sorry so long and i cant speel whrth a hoot

 

and one more thing it came with bearclaw tires on it one size bigger than the fac tire but the front tires is one size bigger than the back why??

 

I have a 08 rancher M/T so i can't help you on the angle sensor. I think Honda makes some tough 4wheelers. Just take care of it and it will take care you. I see alot of people on here that use different oils. I just stick with the Honda GN4. Works fine with me. Are the tires bigger or the rims?

 

Out of the factory the front has a 12 inch tall rim and the rear has an 11 inch rim. 24-8-12 front, 24-10-11 rear. Most people will ditch the 11 inch rim when its time to change tires and go with 25-8-12 front and 25-10-12 on the rear. This is the most common size tire on ATVs.

 

I have a 2005 rancher at, the angle sensor is on the right side. There is a cover on the side of the motor you have to take off.

I put high temp. silicone aroung it. There is a o-ring, thats inside. If you look at the forums that I have posted you will see a pic. of the angle sensor.

I have some problems with my tranny , trying to get it figured out.

 

I was wrong, I said right side, Sitting the atv it is the left side, near your foot.
Sorry, Phil
