2010 Honda 420FM Rancher

[Hikato]

I live in Louisiana, so land and mud is easy to find. I bought a 420 Rancher last year to enjoy that mud.

Not much is done to it yet, but eventually it'll be tweaked how I want it.

Bone stock:

After throwing on the 28" Maxxis Mudzillas (on older ITP rims; front tires are 28x10-12, rear are 28x12-12):

After Mudslide Mudpit:

Cleaned up:

Smoked out the tail light tonight, too.

No lights:

Just lights on:

Brake lights:

Later this week I plan to bring it in and install a clutch kit (in the mud, first gear revs out and then the 28's bog the bike down the moment it hits second gear). After that, I'll install a 2" lift, a K&N filter (the stock is a pain to clean) and possibly even throw a snorkel and/or an exhaust/programmer.

Anyone around Central Louisiana (Lafayette area)? It's summer time, and it's time to hit the mud!

How's that 420 like those 28's in the thick mud? I had an Outlander 800 I raced in GNCC 4x4 Open 1 race then turned it into a work quad and even on that beast with a full exhaust, efi programmer, and clutch kit the 28's I put on it where all it wanted in the thick GA clay.

Thank you. It's getting it's performance boost soon

It loves them, probably not as much as that outlander though! Hahah. My 420 has the power to turn them. I rev out in first, but in second it bogs down bad. All it'll take to fix that is a clutch kit, which I'm installing for this weekend. Eventually I'll end up with an EFI programmer, exhaust and lift, but for now the clutch kit will do what I need.

It's a beast, and it's got a LOT of potential. Just takes time

Just a lil update

This thing loves the mud now. 2" Xtreme lift installed, as well as an EPI Clutch Kit (1,500 RPM engagement stock to 2,200 RPM engagement with the EPI kit).

HIDs will probably be built (going to try making my own bulbs, just a little DIY project) and go in tomorrow afternoon, and dual snorkels (one from airbox, one dummy snorkel to run vent lines into) will possibly come soon.
