Hi, just new to this forum, some good info and stories to be found. I was hoping some one here could tellme the difference between the 2005 TRX 500 FM and the 2005 TRX 500 FA/FGA. Im looking for a repair manual for my 05 FM model and keep finding FA/FGA ones. Is there a difference or will they do the job.
Thanks

I don't know the diff of the 2, but I would go to HONDA to get a service manual. It seems they are the better IMO. Plus the dealer should be able to get you the correct Manual.

The difference is the FM is a 4wd manual shift version, and the FA/FGA are both hondamatic versions. Still 4wd, but a pain in the ass to work on.

FM -- 4WD manual shift
FA -- 4WD auto
FGA -- 4WD auto GPS

So what is the difference between a fe and fa

I ordered a new carburetor for my 2009 Honda foreman and noticed i got the fa one and i have a fe wanted to know what the difference is and if it matters?

The Fa has an automatic transmission the Fe has essentially the manual transmission that is operated electronically with 2 buttons instead of a foot pedal.

So the carb won't matter?

I don't think there is much difference between the 2. The TP sensor is mounted slightly different but works fine and the price is different. I'm sure you'll have no problem using it.
