    I got one from 1987 for 100 euros (because the seller said "it's dead" I just changed a spark plug, cleaned the air filter and changed the starter brushes. now it runs like clockwork. This is my first Quad and it is wonderful. I repainted and patched up the bodywork, I love it ❤

    Have a 85 Honda fourtrax 250 best atv I have ever owned still runs like a top all I had to do to get her going was a carb rebuild after it had sat for a couple years outside just basic maintenance is all I have needed to do first gear is super low with plenty of torque for my towing hauling needs and it is super fun to ride those old 250s are absolute tanks

    I like how it's literally an atc 250es engine slapped onto a 4 wheeler.

    • @winstonpoplin
      @winstonpoplin Год назад +1

      The Big Red 250es and the Fourtrax Trx250 both released in 1985 so they shared an engine from the beginning. They put this engine in several machines including the Atc 250sx, so it wasn't just a 250es engine. And the modern honda 300's and similar machines still use an engine that is a direct descendant and almost identical in a lot of ways.

    I bought this same type of quad from one of my neighbors and restored it and it's the best running quad I've ever had! Never had engine issues, can go up to 30 miles an hour, and I can pull a trailer!

      I promise that it should go a lot faster than 30 mph, closer to 50. Probably faster than a 2022 Recon 250.

    I owned a 1987 trx250 and owned it for 16 years and beat the dog shit out of it every day and it never quit never done any motor work besides oil changes and clean the carb and rebuilt the rear differential only because I didn’t keep the gear oil changed properly and changed a couple from wheel bearings and brakes he’ll who needs em with a super low transmission she was the best quad I ever owned wish I still had her best quad ever built they say the 300 was the best but the 250 was better sure the 300 rode better but the 250 did everything else better and had more power then the 300 I smoked countless 300s in my area I had the fastest utility quad around with the old 250 one day there was 5 300s running full out and I passed them all with a quarter throttle left man was a loyal quad.

    The 4 trax isn't the strongest or the fastest atv, but its by far the most durable and reliable.
