HONDA ATV LINEUP FOR 2000

Jan. 01, 2000 By ORC STAFF

The Foreman 400 is a heavy-duty four-wheel-drive ATV machine. Engine
  • Compact OHV air-cooled 395cc engine is longitudinally mounted to allow direct drive-shaft alignment to both front and rear wheels for fewer frictional losses.
  • Overhead-valve design offers a wide, easy-to-use powerband and compact engine dimensions, with light weight of 111 pounds.
  • Dust-resistant air intake system.
  • Closed crankcase vent system safeguards against engine oil contamination.
  • Rubber-cushion engine mounting and gear-driven counterbalancer reduce vibration.
  • Super-heavy-duty automatic clutch with a low, 1750-rpm engagement point for excellent drivability and towing capacity.
  • Five-speed transmission with reverse includes an ultra-low first gear.
  • Full-time four-wheel-drive.
  • Convenient electric starter, with auxiliary recoil starter and an internal decompression system.
  • Wet sump with large, 3-quart capacity.
  • High-flow oil cooler with cooling fan helps control engine temperatures.
  • Solid-state CD ignition with electronic advance.
  • Powerful, 310-watt AC generator.
  • Snorkel-type air intake system is specially designed for water crossings.
  • USDA-qualified spark arrester/muffler is constructed of stainless steel.
Chassis/Suspension
  • D-channel twin-spar design forms the two main frame members, with steel double-cradle lower frame tubes.
  • Maintenance-free shaft drive with limited-slip front differential routes power directly from the longitudinally mounted engine without inefficient directional changes.
  • Independent double-wishbone front suspension uses Showa shock absorbers to give 4.3 inches of travel.
  • Steel swingarm and dual Showa rear shock absorbers give 4.3 inches of travel.
  • Steering mechanism design features light effort and a tight turning radius of 11.5 feet.
  • Dual sealed front hydraulic drum brakes and sealed rear mechanical drum.
  • Standard over-fenders give excellent mud protection.
  • Tires designed especially for the Foreman 400 feature aggressive tread patterns for excellent traction.
  • Multi-function speedometer/hourmeter features tripmeter and enhanced low-speed monitor function. The first two-thirds of the 180-degree needle-sweep registers speeds from 0-15 mph in 1-mph increments, to allow precise monitoring of vehicle speed for effective application of liquid and solid materials from spraying and spreading equipment. The remaining one-third of the sweep measures speed up to an indicated 45 mph. The hourmeter function helps to monitor use for maintenance and other record-keeping functions.
  • Large cargo racks front and rear allow payloads of 66 and 132 pounds respectively.
  • Heavy-duty trailer hitch with towing capacity of 850 pounds.
  • Large, lightweight plastic fuel tank with 3.2-gallon capacity.
