Honda Rancher

Most any "High Quality" oil (Honda, Castrol, Valvoline, Spectro) will work fine as long as it is the right "Viscosity" for the temperature in which you are operating your ATV in. The most versitile viscosity I have found in the climate I ride is SAE 10W40 it will work well from (minus) -10F to +105F. The oils NOT recommended for use are: API SH or higherdisplaying a circular API "Energy Conserving" label on the container. These may affect lubrication and clutch performance. Also NEVER use "Non-Detergent, vegetable or castor based racing oils.

Hey you can go to Honda website and read the manual for your cycle

Better how? for stricktly utility purpose I would go with the Honda, for yes in general GENERAL! they are more reliable. However taking all aspects of quading(atving) the can am outlander is far quicker, more enjoyable and just as usefull. The Can am Renegade is just a 4x4 racing quad pretty well, sporty version of the outlander and virtually useless as a utility quad.

there should be a drain fill plug on the front your diff. Since you have the IFS probably the easierst way to get oil into it would be to use along piece of fuel line from the top of your engine to the fill plug and just fill it from under the hood rather fan fighting with the bottle underneith the truck.

The head bolt torque specifications for a Honda Rancher typically range from 22 to 29 ft-lbs (30 to 39 Nm), depending on the specific model and engine type. It's essential to follow a specific tightening sequence and perform a multi-step torque process to ensure even distribution. Always refer to the service manual for the exact specifications and procedures for your particular model year.

There are two things that come to mind. First I would check the float, make sure thatit is adjusted to the correct height. On most small engine carbs, it will beparalell to the carburetor casting when held upside down. The small tang that rests on top of the needle valve can be bent to make this adjustment. Also check that the float is serviceable. If it has a hole in it, (plastic), or is saturated, (cork), it will not float and shut off theincoming fuel. Next, make sure the fuel supply is not contaminated with water or debris. Drain out a small amount of fuel into a clear glass jar and let it sit for about 5 minuets. Any water or trash present will separate out and settle on the bottom of the jar. If found to be contaminated, drain out tank and clean out with fresh, clean fuel, or perhaps some spray type carb cleaner. Also, be sure to flush out any fuel supply lines.

To add coolant to your 2004 Honda Rancher, locate the coolant reservoir, which is typically found near the radiator. Remove the cap and check the coolant level; if it's low, add a mixture of antifreeze and water according to the manufacturer's specifications. Ensure the engine is cool before adding coolant to avoid burns. After adding, securely replace the cap and check for any leaks.
