Stratts Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 The farmers quad bike I've been using has been neglected somewhat and I thought about giving it a basic service and sort out. Are they easy enough to do. I've had many old motors and motorbikes so am pretty good mechanically, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelongwayup Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 We do the farms honda foreman once a year. Pretty straightforward to be fair. Hardest part is washing a years worth of **** off it first. Farmers don't seem to know what a jetwash is for in general. If it's been neglected check all the bushes and bearings at the front end. (steering/shock ones) Pretty much all got replaced last time we did it as they were just the outer shells left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webber Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) Its basically straight forward. I bought a Clymer manual for my Honda from Cabelas, well worth the modest cost. I've just checked out ebygumbay, there are a lot to choose from. webber Edited October 23, 2011 by webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
