Honda Rancher problems

[GrizzlyGator]

, So my sons 2005 Honda Rancher is smoking pretty bad, we ride a LOT, typical riding would be trail 70%, mud 25%, and some water emursion5% sometimes up to the seat! So thats what is been through for 2 years. Honda dealer said probally needs a new top end and maybe even total job top and bottom, i don't totally disagree with him, we do ride hard! Anybody got other ideas or suggestions? He said $800.00 for top end and $1500.00 total, is that resonable? just wondering before I unload it on him!

I think that 5% item is going to cost you the 100% of that repair.

I think your 100% correct VForcedave, You know we knew that kinda riding was going to eventually catch up to us, but like i said we like to ride and we usually don't stop for obstacles  so its not like a dissapointment just wanted to make sure that sounded like the right diagnosis and that, that is a good figure the work.

Can Am, I have the same bike for the wife, although I have a 9 yr old that has worked himseld into that seat. I let him play except in the deep water, trails and mud OK, But boys will be boys (like I never did it).
