It's been years since I've rode a fourwheeler, but when we had them we had a fair amount of them and I can still remember the brands/makes of them. I thought this would be a cool topic to get to know what other members ride or rode in the line of ATVs.

- 2003 Honda Foreman ES 450 4x4 Four Wheeler
- 2003 Honda FourTrax 350 (Rancher) Four Wheeler
- 1995 Kawasaki Bayou 220 Four Wheeler

How did you wreck that 90?

Well for one my cousin and i rode it wayyy to hard when it ran--doing jumps, flipping it, hit a couple trees ACCIDENTLY--but it still ran after that. The thing that did it was one hot summer day we went riding like 10 hours nonstop and we were riding it hard then too. we also took it mudding with water almost over the 4-wheeler but it ran strong the whole day. It wasn't until the next morning when it quit running. It would turn over and it had spark, fuel, oil but then all of a sudden it just locked up so i tore the motor down and found out the piston was stuck to the cylinder so i got it un stuck and i took a break for a while. While i was taking a break my step-dad tried putting it back together and put the jug/cylinder on backwords and broke one of the tabs off the jug. Oh yeah the rings were fried also so know i need a new cylinder and rings. I just hope i remember where all of the parts go. its been two years since i took it apart.

ooh yeah we had my uncle and my brother on it while pulling 2 people behind it on sleds with almost no problem just didn't accelerate as good as having just one person on the ATV. I was very impressed with the durability! :thumbsup:

This ones got an electric choke on it so im sure it will be fun to tear apart.The machine sat outside for the last year and the gas tanks got water in it so im gonna be busy

Yeah mine had electric choke also. I'd much rather have mechanical choke but electric is good for the kids 'cause no messing around with choke or forgetting to turn it off or someting like that.
