Unfortunately my son wrecked hard this past weekend.
Luckily he escaped OK with just bumps and bruises and a broken helmet visor.
His ATV is a different story. Both rear wheels bent, rear axle bent and handlebars bent. Along with some other minor cosmetics. I believe the steering shaft is Ok but not sure until new handle bars are on or I get a manual that tells me how to check.
I cannot locate a Clymers or similar repair manual for 2006. Can anyone tell me if there is one?
I can still get a manual from Honda, but I have found my other ATV factory ( Kawasaki & Yamaha) manuals to be a little too technical & wordy and not enough illustrations for a novice. Does any one have first hand knowledge about the Honda one?
Lastly I am going with factory stuff for the most part due to cost. Would love a Dura Blue axle but can get all the parts for less than one of those cost and that was just checking prices at my local dealer. Are their any reccomendations for cheap online vendors for OEM Honda.
Search engine turned up a ton. Just trying to shorten the list by having someone who has had similar experience and may have been through this already. Any advice is appreciated.
