Ive put the guy I worked for in high schools honda rancher through hell and it had LOTS of miles on it and all we ever had to do to it was change oil. I only have 900 miles on my Honda Rancher and I have no complaints at all about it. Mine is fuel injected and it started everytime no problem no matter the conditions. If I ever have to buy another 4wheeler I will for sure go with a Honda Rancher again
What type of transmission does your Rancher have? I've read many times that the Rancher is a top-notch, bullet proof quad, except that the newer auto trans doesn't yet have a long track record. The Rancher started out as my first choice, but what scared me was a thread I read on a Honda forum which said that if the AT fails, it cannot be repaired and must be replaced. I'm nearly certain that someone posted that they were quoted $2,900 to replace the AT in a newer Rancher.
