My friend just bought one of these and when we look through the manual he was horrified that the tank was only 3.# something gallons big.

Range is important on the types of fishing trips we do,but it works out because his fuel mileage is great with it.

The foreman does get good milage for the size tank it has

I bought one nov 1 06 on nov 18 the oil pump went out and DESTROYED the engine with 54 miles on it and it has been at the dealers since !!!!!!!!!!!!!

has anything like this happend to anyone else i had the quad for 17 days and dealers had it for 20 days working on it ? they are also adding a warn 2500 to the front end .

The winch is only a 30-45 minute job if done right.... the majority of the time it's spent in the shop is likely cutting through the red tape to get Honda's warranty dept. to release the funds to repair it for you.

Sometimes the smallest little glitch can cause an absolute disaster, I'm sorry this happened to you and hope that once you get the machine back it gives you many years of enjoyment.

I've heard of different things going out to cause problems such as this... not many oil pumps go bad... but when they do it wreaks havoc. Keep bugging them until they get it together and get it done... hopefully it was just an isolated incident that won't happen again.

Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

i was so happy yesterday i had my old bike and was going to honda to get the chain reparied and i was thinking of a new bike so i asked my dad if i could ask the people there if they would help use out and well one thing let to another and i traded my bike in and got a new 2006 foreman es 4x4 and went riding that day i was so happy because that was the first 4x4 atv i owned my other bike was a polaris scrambler 500 2x4 2001 but dont tell the dealer it might have had an oil leak but hey they make enof money and they drove it around and said ok .. not my problem any more.

Congrats trxforeman4x4 on the new bike
