The weakest link on them 300's are the rear axles. Many of us upgrade the axle with a whole trx250 rear axle assembly. The stock 300 rear axle in my opinion is good for light trail riding on stock size tires. I'm sure if you did a trx250 rear axle swap and got a gear reduction , replaced tie rod ends , ball joints , wheel bearings and brakes , you'd be very pleased with the ATV
I did that upgrade to my 300 to n can say is worth the money when my oil needs changed it just turns dark n viscous like it should not all muddy n milky n white the 85 250 big red rear diff is the one I bought for mine bought used n checked pinion n still was tight asf i don’t think they go often unless ran w bad bearings either, if u keep the rubber seals greased on the ends of axle tubes really helps keep the water out nkeep oil golden even after gone for a swim if were a water / mud bike probably would still pack side tubes with grease still tho if u tryna make one to
I have a 99. It is bone stock with the exception of tires and the seat. It is still running to this day. It's not been babied, either. We use it to do things it wasn't meant to. I.E. It pulls a 1500lb load of firewood better than my 2017 Foreman 500.
Might be different but I got a Honda rancher 350 and that things been used since I was little and it's all stock and 4wd and nothings ever happen to motor we also pulled small tractors and trailers with it and trees had clean carb once but that was it and we use race it when I was little
The 300 AC I'm sitting on in the pic has almost 20000 miles. Only thing been done is some wheel bearings and a valve job motor never been apart. Maintenance goes a long way.
Sounds better than mine lol. I paid $300 for my 96 and it's a pile. But it runs even though it sounds like the engine could fly apart at any second. Pretty sure mine needs a crank and the exhaust lobe on the cam and exhaust rocker are extremely worn. I might end up rebuilding it because other than the engine rattling and knocking it's a good solid little machine.
Someone welded the hubs on my fourtrax so when it was time to rebuild the diff I had to get a new axle and hubs and cut the old axle with a saw saw. Why do people do that??
I have a 2001 fourtrax 350 es with 23k kms on it and only had to switch front and rear brakes, front right tie rod ends, wheel bearings and some other thing. Other than that it is bone stock and still runs great, sunk multiple times by previous owner hehe
Lol technically they were originally sold as "quad bikes", then just quads and four wheelers, now people call them ATV's and in its definition That's any vehicle that's made for off-road terrain. So calling them a bike I can't say is really wrong, because then a sxs should just be an off-road car if we were technical.
I also hate when ppl call them bikes the prefix (bi) means 2 (two wheels/tires) meaning something with 4 wheels shouldn’t be called a bike I prefer the term “fo wheela”

ill give all that a shot on the next 300 I buy. this one is no longer with us since I busted the cases on it

The rear dif gonna break wit those big ass tires
I’m late but no shit man😂

How does he not have tons of subscribers, Bro your channel is so slept on.
just takes time man
You seriously thought you were going to do well with those tires and rims and no gear reduction?
For real like lol
Just bought a 88 300 and I'm trying to make sure all the wiring is there and it's missing some of the little hoses for the carburetor as well
Half expected it to be blue with all that moss on it 😂

It IS a bike, the best dam bike ever built to date, and that BIKE is way too good for you!!
I have been very hard on my 300 stock rear diff and never broke it and i am on 29.5 outlaws 1
you either have one in a million or I'm rougher than you. I've put several under this one and none last
The timing and the sound of the "piece of a seat" dropping on the ground had me dying. 2:04
😂😂
Looks pretty damn good for a slapped out Honda lol

maintenance isn't common here haha
I think the rear diff is breaking because you have over sized wheels on it and it was never made to do that.
Yup
Mines in way worse shape but I plan to do what y’all are doing just ordered parts!!
you recording it all?
Amazing what a power wash will do

Someone welded the hubs on my fourtrax so when it was time to rebuild the diff I had to get a new axle and hubs and cut the old axle with a saw saw. Why do people do that??
The hubs strip out and the generation that bought these fourwheelers originally saw that easier than replacing them. That’s typically the reason
Sure did clean up alright though
If I’m not mistaken the front and back tires are different sizes so stuff will break best wheeler ever made then the 450 Forman
Yessir!
Mines tuff as fuck never broke anything accept axle off pulling my brother renegade out
How do you get the rusty bolts holding the rear end off I’m trying to replace my diff for the first time and need some tips
I just use wd40 and a ratchet it always works for me
We had to freaking cook the diff side of the axle with like a whole thing of break clean and half a can on pb blaster lol
I've brought back more clapped out 4 wheelers then that. Little time and TLC can do wonders as I'm sure you already know.
oh yeah for sure!

They’re tanks for sure
They are tough as hell. And that fourwheeler is 23 years old. Give it a break
there will be zero breaks given to 300s on this channel
i own 3 300s there tanks with a 54 percent gear reductions in them i have a 21 foreman still riding my 300 more
to each his own man 🤟
What tires are you running?
Bought my 2019 Foreman Rubicon brand new I've put 200 miles on it cause I'm always riding my 83 big red lol. Long live the Honda ATC!
Now much one cost? A d where to buy
man my 300 has been on 31 outlaw 1s for around 4 years now stock rear end and never had any problems out of it i think your doing something wrong😭
Just watch the other videos I definitely wouldn’t do anything wrong to my 300s 😂

Agreed haha
Put a 350d rear end in it, haven’t seen mud puppy have to many problems with em
I have one and don't even have any footage with it. There's now a hole in the diff case and it needs a pinion
I got an 87 350d let me tell you about mudding and never getting stuck
Look what you put on there you expected it to not brake with 30 or 29 and half inc outlaws you crazy
haha thanks homie
Kick start 😭
My 300 is gotta fixed I done broke four bearing
I have to keep a lot of bearings in stock to keep mine going haha
Love 300’s but they are not boats.
Can’t be too sure without trying it out first
Trade you a 420 that needs some work
What kind of BIKE is that
A 2020 Ktm 500excf. I’ll have a few videos of it up soon
It's a Kawasaki ZX-14. Thank you for noticing 🤣.
@@earlgunman6325 there will no bikes wider than a four wheeler used in the making of these videos haha
@@trashhousecycles Damn! Shots fired! Don't you dare discriminate against my rocket couch! 😆
I’m with you on the whole calling atvs bikes. I dont know where that came from.
Me either 🤷♂️
Bro your the definition of a rip off whistle Diesel and a rip off Brandon Price put together
