This bike was finally completed and delivered back to owner!!! I don't need help with it anymore. Thanks for all the comments trying to help. It was a fueling issue
Clean the tank, fuel lines, and carb again. Make sure jets are clean and float isn't sticking open or closed. If snorkeled or modified it will need the carb jetted.
If it won't Upshift with the footshift then you probably broke your shift fork. You will have to do a little research and Google some things and I'm sure you will figure it out. It can only be a couple things. Process of elimination
I have 06 500 foreman, it's sputter or fallen on its face when I feed throttle, what is my issue, got new air filter, new plug,new oil,I'm lost,please help
Carb. Possibly the float. Clean the carb really well. Take filter off and see if it still does it then. Put the old stuff back on if it worked before you changed stuff. Then replace 1 thing at a time.
Have you replaced the fuel lines? Ethanol gas will deteriorate the lines and they will colapse if the vent is clogged. The gas cap vent my be clogged from being sunk, sounds like a vapor locking issue.
I noticed that when you turned it back on you had to pull the choke, then it starts. Choke allows more gas in at start correct? So do you think at a high rate of speed (which requires more air and fuel) you're lacking some fuel on the top end? If you need to pull the choke to restart, to me, it seems like your float bowl might be empty when you immediately try to restart it. Try running it till it dies (again) and when it shuts off Dont automatically try to restart it, let your float bowl fill up (maybe 30sec - 1min), then try restarting with no choke. Might wanna pull the petcock to see if the screen is alil clogged which might affect flow rate from the tank to the carb. idk just spitting out ideas lol!
@@lonestarangler8407 exactly what I am looking at it like. I got it running as good as its gonna get with what I had to work with. Just wanted it to be 100% given the amount of work that has gone into it. If I knew everything that had been done to it before I got into it things would have gone a lot easier with it for sure. It's as good as its gonna get I do believe!
I've got a 2007 Honda Foreman and I still have not heard this thing run. It was stolen by some kids and I'm trying to help the lady out. Your idle seems way to low though. Did you adjust the pilot jet??? Now I will know how to shift though. I think that Yamaha that I had worked on was easier than this honda....gtrrrr
What size snorkel pipe is that 2in would help it? If your looking to get it jetted right get the hmf jet kit for it, Pull the petcock and make sure there's good gas flow it's acting like the bowl is empty
There is good flow. I took carb pre filter out of it and it's doing better now. Changed stock air filter out with the k&n filter it came with and rejetted it. It's doing better than it was for sure. But your right about it acting like it was emptying the bowl. That's what I was thinking also.

Can you make a video of what you did?
I have a recon doing the samething
Clean the tank, fuel lines, and carb again. Make sure jets are clean and float isn't sticking open or closed. If snorkeled or modified it will need the carb jetted.
My forman 500 is doing the same thing, my jet was clogged, got a new kit to fix
Thanks for your videos, they really helped me with my bike!
Thank you for commenting! Glad I could help you out. That's why I started this channel.
Try clocking the idle control valve on the cob writer
Thanks. Bike is done and good to go now. Its back with owner now working great
I have stock 100% 2in pipe mine would cut off bc I had a 1.5 in I had to redo the hold thang
I have a Honda foreman 450 it is stuck in reverse. How can I fix it? Thanks for listening.

it's a carburetor issue
Your snorkel may be getting to much air in the air box that happened to me

SHIT!! AND you have an Avalanche!! i think you just became my new best friend! LOL! i got any avy too!

I changed jetting and put k&n filter on it and seems to be better now. Sending it as it is now.
@@alphapackoffroad Jetting should allow more fuel. And really, how often is your customer gonna run at that speed for that long?! lol!

Alpha Pack Off-road also other things to consider too... like maybe age of rings and how they affect compression blah blah blah lol!
@@lonestarangler8407 I just rebuilt engine. Everything is brand new on bike. It's gone now. They came and got it today

I have a Honda foreman 500 2007 and I wanted to change the plastics do you think the newer plastics would work for it?
You can make anything work if you really want to. Look up some fourms and see if anyone else has done it.
I have problem with carb .when I throttle it it just wanna stop same one I have that atv
Sounds like your main jet is clogged up. Try cleaning the carb really good and use a brush on all the jet openings.
u may need a tuner for that exhaust since its aftermarket it might be runnin lean
Its carburated so the jetting in carb is what u use to tune it. Its tuned now.
