How's she goin'? Kirk, you're suppose to get the oil in the drain pan not all over you!!! LOL Thanks for tuning in and take care!!!

How's she goin'? You know Doug, you can do a lot with a camera and some good editing software!!! ;-) Thanks for watching and take are!!!

Wow thanks!!! And you get to all the work that gets edited out of the video so this is quite the compliment!!!

How's she goin'? Thanks a lot for searching out the channel and welcome!! I'm glad you liked the video. Being able to do your own maintenance is certainly a luxury for many. It keeps the bike running better too!!! Take care!!!

@@GrampiesWorkshop She's purring like a tiger! No problem, take care yourself. :)

Hey there Bdog!!! Thanks a lot for the nice comment. I'm sure Donnie would tell you you're crazy!!! LOL That's the kind of guy he was!!! Thanks for tuning in and take 'er easy!!!

How's she goin'? I can't argue that fact Gary!!! They must be good since the Chinese try and clone ever engine they make!!! But I agree. My Honda ATV is one tough machine. I have done a lot of work with this bike and it doesn't seem to even skip a beat. They are easy to work on too. That's always a plus!!! Thanks for the nice comment and take 'er easy!!!

How's she goin'? Welcome to the channel and thanks for the nice comments. I bought this Honda 3rd hand and it has been nothing but great the whole time I had it (14 years) . A few little things went wrong, but you would expect that from a 1997 machine eh!! I gave this ATV to my son before Christmas and now his kids are using it. The Honda sure is rugged and hard to beat!!! Thanks again for finding my channel and watching. I hope to see you back again!!! Take care and Happy New Year!!!

@@GrampiesWorkshop she's going good on it so far thanks. She's only 9 but she loves it. Just asked father in law if he had any oil filters or oil he's got everything for me. Said he did oil recently so no rush. Incidentally his name is.... Grampy 😂😂😂

@@andrewyeardley1550 Well if his name is Grampy he must be a good guy!!! The best thing you can do for that Honda is regular oil and filter changes and keep the air filter clean and it'll last your daughter for a long time!!!

How's she goin'? Thanks for the comment. I like to look after the engine oil. I think it's probably the best DIY maintenance you can do for your ATV!!! Take care!!!

How's she goin'? It seems Honda makes good gear but they sure make you pay for it and it doesn't bother them at all!!! I promised myself I would use Honda oil and filters though so I guess I have to pay the big bucks!!! Thanks for watching and take 'er easy!!!

How's she goin'? I'm not sure about the UK but here Honda parts are expensive. Probably on average 30% more. But I think in this case it was worth it. Maybe if I had used after market stuff it would be the same result, but that's the way she goes eh!!! Thanks for the comment and for the watch. Take 'er easy!!

Good Day eh!!! Thanks for tuning in John!!! Gotta make sure your oil is changed eh!!! Take care now!!

How's she goin'? This old Honda Foreman is sure a worker. It has done some amazing jobs and doesn't skip a beat!!! Thanks for tuning in and take 'er easy!!!

How's she goin'? Welcome to the channel and thanks very much for the nice comment!!! My poor old Honda is in need of some love this spring as there is something going on and it feels like the front end is loose of something. It all seems tight when I check it so I'll have to investigate. Stay tuned for that video!!! Thanks for watching and take care!!

How's she goin'? I worked in industrial maintenance all my life and if there was anything I learned it was to change the oil and keep everything lubed. And I was an electrician!!! LOL But this lesson sure has paid off for me!!! Thanks for the watch and take care eh!!!

How's she goin'? Keep them well lubed and they will work for a long time right!!! Thanks for the watch and take 'er easy!!!

@@GrampiesWorkshop yeah mate your right

How's she goin'? There is almost 10 000 miles, yes miles, on this bike and I like it more than the 2010 Can Am I have. Just something about it. It works hard and plays hard and is pretty simple in design too, so it's easier to look after I guess!!! I appreciate you watching along!!! Take care!!

How's she goin'? Husky? For a minute I thought you were talking about my size, then I realized it was my saw!!! LOL I'm more 'hunky' than husky, or at least that's what Nannie tells me!!! :-) Yes sir looking after the oil and lube on the ATV is a key to keeping it on the trails!!! Thanks for tuning in and take care!!!

How's she goin'? Thanks for the comment!!! I do have nitrile gloves and wear them most times, but I do forget every now and then!!! I'll try not too from now on!!! My Foreman is hurting right now. Something up in the front end and I'm not sure what. Every now and then I can feel a bump, that isn't trail related. Feels like something is about to come apart or something. I'll be putting it in the shop soon and having a look to see what's up!! Thanks again for watching. Take care!!

Grow a set of nutz lol

Salut Dave!!! Oui bien sur!!! Donnie etait un bon homme!!! Le mechanicien tres fort est tres complet!!! Il m'a beaucoup appris!!! Et je suis un electricien!!! LOL Merci d'avoir regade et bonne soiree!!!

@@GrampiesWorkshop Bonne soiré Monsieur !!!

FYI we haven't been seeing your videos in a while for some reason so we hit that bell again and we will see what happens so very sorry about that!

How's she goin'? Thanks a lot. I think changing the oil is probably the most important thing you can do to help the ATV last longer. Take care and thanks for the view!!!

@@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid I have experienced that as well. Seems like You Tube has a mind of it's own sometimes!!! Go figure!!!

Hi there John!!! That's a great idea to add some new oil and let it sort of flush out what's left of the old oil!!! I'm going to start doing that. I take the drain plug out when draining. Didn't show it but like you say the oil drains a lot better. I also try and raise the opposite side of the bike to get the oil to drain better too. Breaking the oil filler, ouch, I bet the was an expensive part. I broke a rear differential inspection cover once and I think it was nearly $35 to get a new one. Hondas are good machines but you have to pay for them!!! Thanks for watching and take care!!

@@GrampiesWorkshop Hello Mike , Its kind of a waste of new oil, but I like doing it to clean out any old oil, I broke the drain plug ,so it wasn't to expensive. It seemed like it was light metal to me.Broke really easy, the dealer said you barely have to tighten them,(????) I was just happy I could still get parts for my old 3 wheeler( 1984). I use Castrol straight 30 in most of my machines, to each their own I guess. Are you tapping yet? I helped the boss do some tapping today. Wasn't running . Take care

How's she goin'? You must have been talking to Nannie!!! LOL I got the idea for the pan from Bruce Pender's channel. It's some handy and the low profile allows it to fit in some pretty tight spots!!! Thanks for tuning in and I like your sense of humor!!! Take care!!!

How's she goin'? Thanks a lot. I'm glad you did and I hope you come back to the channel often!! Take care!!!

Salut Serge!!! Happy to see your comment. I was thinking you must have been buried in the snow up North there!!! We have an Amazon Fire TV Stick and I watch some You Tube on it, but it's the same thing, I can't find out how to 'Like' or add comments!!! Oh well. Glad to know you're are OK and I hope you are getting through the winter OK!!! Take care et bonne soiree!!!

How's she goin'? No problem. I'm glad you liked the video!!! Please come back again. Take care!!!

@@GrampiesWorkshop Just changed the oil and filter. Went very smoothly!! I knew exactly what to do after watching this. I’ll definitely be back!!

@@CarsonM Thanks, I appreciate it very much!!!

How's she goin'? Well that certainly is my intention Dave!!! I bought the bike third hand and I was lucky as both previous owners took good care of it. I don't use it much lately, but it is still a great machine. If I were to sell it I wouldn't get much for it as it's so old, so why not keep it and it's fun to work on and maintain too!! Thanks for tuning in and take care!!!

How's she goin'? Thanks Bruce!!! I guess I do this sort of thing for a lot of reasons, none the least of which is, if it breaks, I can't really afford to fix it so I try and look after it as best as I can!!! Thanks for watching and take care!!!

How's she goin'? I'm no expert but if it were me this is what I would do. I would drain the Hypoid Gear Oil. I'd let it drain overnight probably. Then put a regular Honda oil and a new filter in and run the bike for a few kms. Then drain the oil, change the filter again and refill with proper Honda Oil and install a new filter. You may have to do this a couple of times. The gear oil is thick and may take some time to get totally flushed out of the system. Good luck and I hope this helped you some. Take care!!!

@@GrampiesWorkshop Thanks! Good thing I never started it after realizing my error

How's she goin'? I have had good luck with Amazon of course but in Canada I have also ordered parts from Fort Nine (link: fortnine.ca) and also from the US a place called Ronnie's Mail Order (Link: ronniesmailorder.com) Also if you just search 'Honda Parts' there are lots of links that will show up. Hope this helps!!! Take care!!!

@@GrampiesWorkshop started to run pretty good, getting better to shift, but how do I reset the oil pressure light, stays on quite a long time, and will have to set the idle so she won’t die when I stop. Thanks for the help and info you’re giving me.

@@dietrichhanshenkel653 For the oil pressure light, there is a sensor on the engine crank case that senses the oil pressure. It could be that this senor is faulty. As for the idle, there are many things that can cause that. I had this problem once and I switched to high octane fuel and the problem went away. There is also an adjustment on the carb. If you look at the carb there should be a black knob on the carb. You can turn this and adjust the idle speed. And failing all these, a good carb cleaning will often times solve your carb issues!! Another good thing I have found was a manual for the ATV. I think the one I have is a Hanes, or a Chilton. Not too sure. Search on Amazon and you'll find them!! Take care!!!

@@GrampiesWorkshop thank you very much, she runs a lot better now, as soon as I gain more confidence I will try some more improvements, thanks for all your help.

How's she goin'? For my Honda ATV I order parts from a local dealer in the city. If he doesn't have them he can get most any part in a day or 2. I replaced the carb on my Honda with an aftermarket one from offshore. The price was crazy cheap and I thought I would try it. So far it's been working great!! So I guess the best place to get Honda parts would be a local supplier, but Honda parts can be very expensive, so bear that in mind. Not sure if I helped with this reply or not!! Thanks for asking the question though!!! Take care and thanks for tuning in!!!

How's she goin'? Hondas are great machines, but the parts are pricey!!! But I have lots of money so that's not a problem!!! Heck I have money I haven'r even spent yet!!! LOL Thanks for watching Steve and take 'er easy!!!

Hey there Gator!!! I was thinking of getting a SxS but so far I haven't won the lottery so I guess I'll keep the bikes for a while yet. That's why I do the maintenance regularly!!! LOL Thanks for watching and take care!!
