    Exclamation For Sale: 1998 Honda TRX300EX !MUST READ!

    message me for pictures, i have plenty of them

    I Live in Daleville, IN. and i have a 1998 Honda TRX300EX for sale, with lots of extras. $2000 is my asking price, or i am willing to trade for something bigger. I just need a more powerful machine as i move up in class i need to move up in power.


    1998 Honda TRX300EX: $2000
    LOTS OF EXTRAS

    Bought it for $1500, and added...
    Cobra exhaust - $150
    Titanium intake and exhaust Valves - $80 ($40 each)
    Custom Shaved Fenders - Free
    Just replaced air and oil filters and changed the oil. - $50
    Dura-Blue lifetime warranty Rear Axle - $380
    Moose Racing Handlebars w/ Scott gaurds - $25, $15
    Brand new 2006 series 300EX Thumb Throttle w/ steel braided Throttle Cable - $75
    Brand New 2006 Series 300EX Rear Brake resivior/lines/pads - $55
    5 Gears w/ Reverse

    Comes with:
    SuperTrapp 5" disc-type Spark Arrestor- ($25)
    Extra Brand New NGK Spark Plug - ($5)
    No-Toil Super-Flow Air Filter(nneds cleaned but re-useable.) - ($15)
    Original TCI Twist Throttle w/ all mounting gear (will install to replace thumb throttle if preffered) - ($50)
    4 Extra tires (3 of which are mounted on rims already, the fourth rim got bent when moving, but the tire is still fine.)


    NOTE! It is having a compression problem right now, but it
    still runs fine. Before the sale i will buy and install a $110
    Weisco piston kit with new rings and wristpins, which will solve the problem. If you are not satisfied with the way it runs after that, you can feel free to back out of the purchase, but i promise it will be the standard bullet-proff honda engine you want.

    *Runs GREAT you'd have to hear it to belive it (and beleive me you'll HEAR IT, buddy. This thing is LOUD!)

    *Low Hours, basically been driven to the mailbox and backeveryday. only 2-3 track apprances. Adult Owned.

    *Fully Restored after sitting in a garage for years, we revived it to the fullest.

    *Great sport quad for beginers, excellent fun for experts. A great bike to practice your first freestyle tricks on because it is so light and still powerful enough to get you as high in the air as you wanna go.


    With all the extras, and work already put into it, and after the new piston (which i am buying and installing when the buyer specifies what compression ratio he/she would like), I've put over $2,535 into this machine.


    FOR SALE: $2000


    This Picture still has the old tires on, but these are the tires that come extra. The tires that are mounted on right now are actually smaller which lowers the entire machine and adds more torque. The new tires also make sliding and whipping ALOT easier in races.

    The compression of the piston will not change the top speed drastically like that. Defenatley not 75-80 MPH. If you want a higher top speed the only ways to change that are, changing tire sizes, sprocket sizes, or increasing the rev limiter.

    Compression

    The compression of the piston, with the open ended full cobra exhasust, and larger tires which come for free with the purchase, will go 75 easy. Concidering that a 14:1 compression also only runs 110 octane or better, the higher RPM's and better flowing exhaust alone will make a significant diference in torque and over-all power.

    BUT ITS NOT GOING TO INCREASE TOPEND SPEED. a 14:1 piston is suicide in a 300ex engine it would run way to hot. plus i dont think wiseco makes a 14:1 for a 300.

    Noted. I edited the entry. Before the sale I will buy and install a standard 11:1 compression piston kit, along with all of the new clips rings and a full new top end gasket kit from Wiseco.

    That sound better?

    Thanks for the info guys, my friend kinda typed all this up for me, i went through and double-checked and had to change a few things, but it's all corrected and certified now.

    Titanium intake and exhaust Valves - $80 ($40 each)


    i think you might be having compression problems cuse it seems like your missing 2 valves


    300ex is a 4 valve machine
