Does anyone have a high mileage honda four wheeler? Is it about 1 or 2 years old. Have you had any engine problems? Has it been a good machine.

 

hey newhollandrules i have a 300ex and it is about 2 years old i have never ever had any engine problems out of it but i have had to put 2 sets of rear end bearings in it . as long as u change the oil frequently ur engine should be fine . icant tell u how many miles is on my ex but it gets rode almost every day and they r some hard miles to.

 

Hondas are notorious for being reliable and dependable for many years. You take care of them, and they'll take care of you. I've got an '83 ATC200 that is still purring like a kitten. Like rredriderr said...change the oil when you're supposed to and perform the scheduled maintenence, and it'll last as long as you want it to.

 

Not at all what I'd call high milage, but I've not had trouble at 1400 miles (9 months old )

 

i have a rancher with 2500 + kms on it and no trouble so far. 1 year and like 4 months

 

I have had mine about a year this Christmas, so far no troubles, and I ride it like everyday. Just change your oil clean the air filter. Give it a new oil filter. The regular matenance stuff. I also have an old 200S engine in my buggy that hardly ever gets and matenance. And it still runs great. And there was also my brothers Honda XR80 that we were very rough on, and it still ran great. Honda's are just known for that kind of reliability.

 

Had a CT-70 when I was a kid. Ran the snot out of it and can't remember my Dad doin anything to it except replacing worn out cogs and chain. Bought a 86 Foreman 350 4x4 brand new and have not had to do anything to the engine. It is used to mow grass(mower attachment on the front) in the summer and putt around on yr. round with no signs of ever quiting. Honda-reliable. And remember you meet the nicest people on a Honda!!!!

Life is good
