All the Honda folks talk about both how tough they are and how many different ones they have owned. I've never owned but one - a Timberwolf 250 that we've had for 25 years. Why do you guys have to replace your Hondas every few years? An ATV should be a once in a lifetime purchase if it's any good. smile

Well, I will admit that the old Yamaha is about done for, but then I am too, so it may yet last a lifetime.

I have an 87 Kawasaki Bayou and a 98 Yamaha big bear.
Both of em get used almost every day and still serve me well.



The Timberwolf has a partially blown head gasket, but it will still run ok. I don't know how much longer it will do that, but it held together long enough to spray the chufas and put out N this year. If it run enough to plant the clover and do some spraying this fall it will have made another year of work. I don't know if it's worth spending the money to fix it or not. I have always tried to wash it off good after putting out fertilizer, but the frame still has a lot of rust. I may just junk it when it dies. Guess I will buy a Honda if I am still alive when it happens. smile


My frame has some new welded tube because of the fertilizer issue. That stuff is really hard on metal.
