Does anyone know anything about a locker for the front of a 2012 420?
I havent really payed attention to the front of mine to see if both frt tires pull at sime time or not.Or does i come with one from factory? And the down side of installing one.

I guess to only way to see if mine has a front locker is to sink it in a mud hole and check it there??Or do you know Rich450 does it come with one from factory?if not guess i will be doing some washing tomorrow....

i belive the only honda that came with a locker from the factory is the big red sxs
but no i dont think the new 420 comes with a locker but...... i may be wrong

the 420 doesn't have a locker in the front.

however, if you feather the front brakes while spinning your front end, it will force power to goto the wheel with traction. it kinda fools it in a way

Haha yea it works to good sometimes. I shattered 2 axles doing that. Needless to say I don't do that anymore nor do I want a locker. Honda built them like that for a reason. So it won't break axles.
