i could be wrong on this fourtrax..but..if he's got 4x4..it won't matter if the front and rear tires are the same in szie ?..if it were a 2x4..then yes..he needs to keep the back tires larger than the front ones..but..like i said..i could be wrong on this..lol.
1990 fourtrax 300 4x4 questions
I just picked up a 1990 fourtrax 300 4x4 that except for dried out fenders and wasted front wheel bearings is in great shape.
I have been riding wheelers since I was 3 (ATC70 woot!) and fixing them since I started breaking them which must have been when I was about 3 1/2 .. :smile:
I have some Honda specific questions though, sorry if these have already been asked before;
I have guessed that mine is a "TRX300 FW A" FW meaning four wheel drive, is this correct? what is the "A" for?
What other years are generally common with the 1990 for parts?
Right now I have 24x9-11 rear tires and 23x8-11 front tires, is there a larger combination that has been run successfully?
What about upgrading to 12" wheels? (since every tire I find on c-list is a 12") What other brand or model is my wheel bolt pattern common with?
Thanks in advance,
-Rodney

look on the bright side......you get to hold onto your money for another day !..lol.
i guess honda changed alot sinse after they made the trx350d foreman..because my tires are the same size..front and back..i'm guessing they done something different with the diff gears.fourtrax is correct mine is 4x4 and the front has to stay smaller than the back
now..that makes alot of sinse..no transfer case on mine..yep..i agree with ya.Your 4-wheeler doesn't have a transfer case, so your tires are the same size. The Fourtrax 300 has a transfer case and runs one inch taller tires in the rear. I don't know why they did it that way, though.i guess honda changed alot sinse after they made the trx350d foreman..because my tires are the same size..front and back..i'm guessing they done something different with the diff gears.fourtrax is correct mine is 4x4 and the front has to stay smaller than the back
thats nothing..ppl now days..put 25's..and 26's on thier rides..but..it's gonna cost them a lift kit..and maybe a few worn cv joints and axles down the road..lol.I think it's one of those "everyone is doing it" things, Suzuki took it a bit far with the old king quads.. I think they have like 20" tires on the front and 24"s on the back..Your 4-wheeler doesn't have a transfer case, so your tires are the same size.
