Benzoboii · 07-29-2011, 01:12 PM

Hello , I have to buy parts for a Honda Recon 03 . I need to find the Oil filter , air filter, new plug and a battery of quality.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a cheap quality supplier and also a good brand for the battery.
Thanks,
Dustin.

welcome t the forum. i bought a walmart one for 80 bucks didn't last a year and a half my buddys running stock battery in his 00 foreman and its lasted 11 years im going to back to the oem batt for the same price. id get everything at dealer oil/air filter plug and battery going cheap isn't always the best way out

I tend to agree with Scott. Go to Honda. It isn't that much more but it seems to hold up better.

Well thats the thing , this isnt my quad . It my girlfriends fathers and he wants middle of the road parts. I cant seem to find any parts houses online

And the quad itself does not get much maintenance and mostly sits . I drug it out of the barn after 6 years of sitting so i'm not really trying to get OEM because it probably wont be rode after hunting season.

If the air filter is still good just clean it and go to your local auto parts supplier for the rest of stuff if you want to go cheap. Our local NAPA carries oil filters and batteries on hand for these machines.

Darn. I can feel the foam breaking down, other then that its fine. ill just clean and gap the plug and the old battery is SHOT . wont take any charge.
Oh , by chance toodeep, do you know the spark plug gap?
