Hello Everyone,

Totally new to the sport, just got myself an '08 Honda Foreman manual shift. Questions I've got:

1. Maintenance, what are the basics one should know how to do?

Check oil? Air filter? What else?

2. Breaking in tips, instruction manual says run 5-6 tanks of gas never going over 3/4 throttle, anything else?

3. Should I be getting "better" accessories, or parts right away? Like the air filter, does the one that comes standard with the Foreman good enough?

I want my quad to last for many years, as I will stay on top of maintenance as long I know what I should be doing/looking for. Sorry for these dumb questions. I really want to learn as much as I can about all this so I know what all I am getting myself into.

Thanks everyone!
Jeff

You can do a search on the Honda forum for any questions you may have .......Also can post there for first hand advice on Honda's......

As for the break-in tips....stay below 3/4 throttle but go through the range different speeds.......You want to "SEAT" the rings so a wide range will help!!......Caper........
