Hey there! I'm new to the ATV scene. I've ridden mountain bikes for 20 years and still do, performing all my own maintenance and builds. Also train and teach Brazilian Jiujitsu. I've been after a Honda ATV for quite a while. At first I wanted like an 86 fourtrax that I thought I would fix up. I work on my Totyota Tacoma a fair bit, nothing crazy but normal maintenance and repairs that aren't too complex. I ended up with a 2006 trx350 ES. It's yellow and in OK shpae. It needs a lower right ball joint at the moment and I am installing a new hitch soon. I'll change the oil, diff fluids and air filter. The racks should be repainted too. I read about a heat gun to get the plastics shiny again. Does this actually work? Any other general tips?
We got the quad mostly as a work machine. I have a long, big driveway that takes forever to shovel and we have a 1/2 acre sloped property. My wife also always has yard project to get done. So it's official a work vehicle, but I'll sneak in some trail rides too. :wink
