Honda Rancher VIN Locations – The Honda Rancher serial number location for 350’s and 420’s from 2000 to 2013 is on a cross-member at the front of the ATV. This is a typical Honda VIN location and is visible through the opening in the front cowl between the headlights. A flashlight should be all you need to see into this opening to read the VIN, refer to this image for help.
General Honda ATV VIN Location – A popular location for Honda ATV VINs is located on a front cross-member which is usually behind the front rack. It can be difficult to see if you have an electric winch or custom skid plates but it can usually be uncovered fairly easily.
Honda Side by Side UTV VIN Location – The VIN on Honda’s side by side utility vehicles is located underneath the hood on the driver’s side or, in some models, it’s in the side door jam(frame). It can be seen on the lower frame rail facing upwards if it’s in the engine compartment.
Fact: an ATV 17 digit VIN number will never be located on the engine, engines have their own 7-10 digit numbers that are not related to VIN numbers, don’t confuse the two. If you need help in decoding your Honda’s 17 digit VIN number once you’ve found it you can visit the free ATV VIN decoder page for help. Hope this helps!
Additional Honda ATV VIN number location info: The Honda Fourtrax VIN number location is on the left side of the frame near the foot pegs. Note: The Honda Fourtrax VIN location has also been moved to the front cross-member depending on vehicle model. The Honda Pioneer 1000 VIN number location is on the front cross-member and is visible from the bottom of the grill opening. The VIN plate on any ATV model will always be directly on the frame itself and it can be obscured by plastics and aftermarket parts.
The 10th digit of the vin on a Honda ATV represents the year, you can decode your Honda’s age by visiting the ATV VIN number page.
The Honda Recon VIN location, and perhaps the Honda Rincon VIN Location as well, are particularly hard to find. They are located on the front of the ATV facing forward but are behind the winch. To see the VIN in this location it may be neccessary to partially remove the bracket holding the winch to the frame and pulling it forward.
One of my favorite Honda ATVs is the Honda Odyssey FL350. The VIN location on FL350 ATVs is on the rear crossbar just above the muffler. Hope that helps!
If you’re still not sure about something or need model specific info I highly recommend that you download your Honda ATV’s manual. It is packed with the information you need about your specific ATV and is always good to have on hand.

Published Updated Honda is known not only for its cars and motorcycles, but also for ATVs. In fact, the Japanese company has become a pioneer in the field of off-road technology. The first apparatus was created in the 70s of the last century. The three-wheeled all-terrain vehicle was equipped with a 90 cc engine and a 4-speed gearbox. However, already at 19In 86, full-fledged Honda ATVs appeared. The company released dozens of sports, utilitarian and children's models, which enjoyed considerable popularity. Model range: In recent years, the Japanese brand has noticeably lost ground. Now the manufacturer produces only 4 utility ATVs and one children's device. Despite the low assortment, fans of the brand will be able to find suitable equipment for themselves. Now the company's flagship TRX 680 FA is especially popular among tourists. Fans of fishing and hunting are better off choosing something smaller, for example, the TRX 500 model. Teenagers and fans of extreme sports should pay attention to the TRX 250 device. Benefits of Honda ATVs: However, the brand's devices have a significant drawback - low maintainability. Honda cars are not very common in the CIS, so there will be serious problems with finding spare parts. The rider will have to order even small parts and wait for their delivery for 2-3 months. One of Honda's most popular devices is the 680 FA, which is part of the flagship TRX series. This small and functional device was introduced back in 2005 and has been regularly modified. Now the latest version of the TRX 680 FA can be purchased for 1 million rubles. Machine parameters: Also, many buyers prefer the Pionner 1000 UTV. A massive quad, more like a jeep, is great for transporting goods and tourist trips. Fans of extreme driving and speed should pay attention to the TRX 700. The model is characterized by high power and excellent cross-country ability. Unfortunately, the manufacturer stopped producing a sports ATV. Therefore, the rider will only be able to find a used device. Features TRX 700: Now Honda does not produce any sports ATVs. The TRX 700, introduced in 2005, was the last machine designed for racing. The manufacturer focused more on the development of utilitarian models used for work and leisure. In 2000, the Japanese brand Honda introduced the TRX 90X, designed for riders from 6 to 14 years old. Thanks to the successful design and "stuffing", the device gained considerable popularity, which led to its further modification. Even now, the company produces an ATV that millions of riders love. TRX 90X parameters: The price of the new TRX 90X starts from 326 thousand rubles. The cost depends on the configuration and color of the ATV. Maxim Rogov / author of the article Back in 2011, I got on a motorcycle for the first time and since then I have been addicted to motorsport. I love trying new bikes. I dream of a BMW F800GT and a motorcycle tour of Peru. ATV Club September 29, 2012 Brands rule the world. And now, while collecting material at the choice of the “Japanese” with history, I was dealing with a whole army of followers of the brand from the Land of the Rising Sun (and sake). Their name is hondovody, their religion is better than Honda only Honda can be. Indeed, Honda is a good choice for doubters. When you want to get cross-country ability, reliability, efficiency and comfort from one ATV, it makes sense to take a closer look at the TRX 500. This quadric has been produced for more than a year, but it is also modernized with enviable regularity. EPISODE ONE. UNDER HOOD The 500 has a single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine. Despite the fact that the power system is carburetor, exhaust standards comply with the Euro-3 standard. With the motor, everything is extremely simple: when inspecting, do not lose sight of the leak where it should not be. In a word, the Japanese heart is strong, but liquids whipping through the gaskets and past the hoses should stop you. EPISODE TWO. AUTOMATIC QUEUE To improve the patency in the transmission, a self-locking differential of the front axle was used. As soon as the difference in the rotation of the front wheels exceeds a certain value, an automatic lock is activated. According to statistics, this knot has an enviable longevity. EPISODE THREE. SUSPENSION BRIDGE None of the respondents has yet complained about handling, despite the rear dependent suspension. On the contrary, quadromaniacs note the amazing lightness of the steering wheel and the obedience of the unit. What else is worth noting? The dry weight of 273 kg for such a very difficult vehicle is impressive, as is the payload of 220 kg. Stanislav, Honda TRX 500 FA 2008: Disappointing that there is no downhill system. And one more of the shortcomings: not a very well-thought-out design for the security of components and assemblies and access to them - take at least the same battery under the wing or the rear brake! It's better not to talk about changing the oil at all. Who came up with this drain plug? While you unscrew it, you will fill everyone around with oil and yourself. As for breakdowns: all the time I changed only the wheel bearings, ball bearings and bushings of the levers. I paid some ridiculous money, I didn’t do anything else with the quad - it drives and drives. If I decide to change it, then only for Honda. Definitely!

The Honda TRX 500 first rolled off the assembly line in 2008. This model has several names depending on the market. In North America, the most quad-packed area, it's called the FourTrax Foreman Rubicon. Well, we have a Honda TRX 500 FA.
The main difference between the "500" TRX and its competitors is the transmission. This quadric has a Hondamatic gearbox, that is, an electronically controlled hydromechanical “automatic”. As a bonus from Japanese engineers, there is a manual shift mode, which they called ESP. It allows you to change gears with steering "petals" and fix them rigidly. According to active exploiters, this "automatic" can really slow down the engine and, moreover, starts off without jerks and axle boxes - a real find for scouts looking for themselves on rough and swampy terrain.
As for the suspension, everything is traditional here: the front one is independent, on two steel wishbones. Behind and completely dependent beam-bridge. But, I note, here, unlike the younger models, there are two shock absorbers. But the braking system is unusual. Front - hydraulics with discs on the front hubs. Behind - completely (hear, completely!) sealed drum mechanism with a cable drive. This means that after a winter ford, when the calipers may freeze, the rear brakes will remain in service anyway. The TRX 500 suspensions have a good wear life, although the nature of the operation by the previous owner, of course, matters.
– I have been using Honda for my off-road needs for quite a long time, the benefit and experience allows, and there is something to compare with. Drove almost 6000 km. Reliability and excellent handling are the main strong point of the model. Reliability is not a fairy tale! My quad once pulled out two colleagues from the virgin lands at once! It steers nicely, but sometimes I still notice a certain heaviness of the steering wheel, depending on the coverage under the wheels. The suspension is moderately energy-intensive, moderately soft. However, after replacing the standard tires on the 25th wheel (and then on the 27th wheel), it became somehow harsh and uncomfortable, unpleasant pokes on the steering wheel appeared in the ruts. The only thing that upset from the very beginning — the springs are not regulated in any way. But I really like the box! Provides a rigid connection with the wheels, after the variator it is acutely felt. The quad is perfectly braked by the engine, which increases the survivability of the pads. And the pickup is good at any speed. "Automatic" switches almost imperceptibly and generally works very adequately. The most pleasant impressions from the TRX 500 remain after the fords. It's definitely his element! Patency is good, but not the best - due to lower ground clearance than others.
