bad starter solenoid, jumping with screw driver , you are bypassing the starter solenoid. trunk, white plastic part normally holds the onwers manual under it.
Lmao, I've seen people spend 1k-3k on first-generation rubicons with the plastics off and motor apart. My 450s is probably the most reliable quad on earth right now.
had a 450 a couple years ago. good machine but weak frames. honda makes great engines but there frames have always needed improvement. even the atcs have cheap frames. they rust bad up here in canada especially on the east coast and if you ride em hard when they are rusted your gonna be putting gussets in and welding frame cracks constantly unless you like riding a cockeyed bike. they started to figure it out on the second gen 350 ranchers (same frame just better metal), and the first gen 420 ranchers ive only seen a few frames need to be replaced since the 07 line up came out.
I can beat you on a cheap deal. I got a 300cc BigRed for free but as it came free it's covered in rust,holes to the body frame, hard to start,idling super high. Basically it's my project bike to learn on and learn how to ride
100 bucks..you stole it !..lol. ditch the frame, not worth the time or hassle to weld on it. you can find used frames fairly cheap from power sports nation. looking at the throttle side, this can be anywhere from '98 to '01 model. in '02, honda made these models with electronic front diff to swap from 2wd to 4wd. these were from '02 to '04, '04 was the last year honda made them here in usa.
@@flipitgarage9653 10-15 hrs to swap over ?..how many beers are you having during this time ??..lmao. i can do a full swap in about 4 hrs, start to finish. i guess you need to step yer game up if its taking you 10-15 hrs to swap over all parts.
Well I have 2 and truly yet to drive either of them while everything works. But I'll tell ya now the motors are beats , start first hit on every honda I have owned
Even with the issues, you could part it for more then $100. The seat alone is worth that. I say it was a very good score.

That's a great find. We had one of them when I was growing up. They were geared low. Slow, but powerful. Yeah man good find for that price.
I had this quad and man do I miss it
Rust or not that’s a steal for only $100.
Buddy had a K5 Blazer one time and thought it was a screaming deal.. it was not.
Let's not talk about that one . Big old rolling turd lol
Lmao

Front diff slipping, you need to replace the wavy spring
Any update on the 450 s - frame and starter ?
Fantastic deal 👍
It could be your shaft that is getting striped it is common sometime first check that
Yes by! Buddy must’ve been hungry for a jiggs dinner. Long may your big jib draw!

I wouldn't try to patch a frame just get a new frame and swap parts over
That's alot of work and hard to find where I live. 3-5 hours of welding and she will be good to go. Would be 10-15 hours to swap everything
