You may be correct "rincon".what does it cost to get the 450 engine rebuilt ?Its a simple push rod engine.........couldnt be too bad

 

Well i am correct........the guy traded his 450 in on a rubi. Did i say you had to?

 

The 450 engine may be simple but anything to do with an atv is very expensive, simple does not mean cheap.

 

GREAT CDN: Andy Young, now located at Kings Bridge Service Station is where I have alot of my work done. (Well all thatI don't do myself) He is the best in the city, even Andy at Honda One will tell you that. Hope his rates haven't changed since he moved, but he is still the only person I'll let work on my quad. Don't let Honda One rape you on their service rates any longer!! Sorry for the delay in reply.

 

I dropped the machine off @ Herba Honda In Amsterdam N.Y. So far the choke circuit is bad and they are checking the jets for obstructions to verify if a lean condition exists.I have had trouble w/ the choke since i bought it.I am on my 3rd choke cable .I must admit this baby has been a lot of trouble since day one.electrical problems etc.When it runs ...it runs well at least.......I sould have purchased the green instead of the LEMON yellow ..............

 

Action 450s....where has kings bridge service station moved....i agree with you about the rates at honda...costs too frickin' much to have anything done there, but i was afraid to let anyone else work on the quad....can you tell me anything else about andy young?.....all i need to know mostly is that i can trust him to do good work...thanks a million for this advice...i'll be sure to check him out.

 

Kings Bridge Service Station is at the same loction they always have been. Kings Bridge Road @ New Cove Road. Almost directly accross the road from the old Memorial Stadium. He is by far the best around and well respected in the service industry.

 

Oh...so Andy has moved, not the business....where did he work before that?

 

He was on Logy Bay road just up past the turn off for Robin Hood Bay on the RHS going to Logy Bay. I think it was called Performance Cycle. His brother owns Kings Bridge and recently added a 4 bay extension, Andy took over 1 full bay.

 

Sounds like valve clearence. At least the first thing to check. I took the valve cover off my new 2002 Foreman ES tonight after 12 hours drivetime. Exhaust valve was not adj. to spec. Not far off, but still off. Put 2.2 q of Mobile1 MX4T/filter in it. Drove it for a while afterwards, and from what I can feel, it shifts smoother than before. Has to be the oil. It just feels a lot smoother to me.
