FourTrax Foreman Rubicon The 2003 FourTrax Foreman Rubicon features a powerful 500cc engine and the revolutionary Hondamatic transmission. It is a continuously variable automatic transmission that provides quiet, maintenance-free operation in a compact, rugged design. Riders seeking a reliable automatic transmission with the power and durability of a Honda will find the FourTrax Foreman Rubicon to be the most versatile ATV available anywhere. Features & Benefits Unique Features Honda's first liquid-cooled four-stroke ATV engine is a single-cylinder 499cc overhead-valve design that provides tremendous torque and dependable power. Hondamatic(tm) transmission is a continuously variable, hydro-mechanical design that eliminates belts altogether. It is compact, quiet, maintenance-free and very rugged. The Hondamatic features true engine braking, unlike conventional belt-drive designs. Full-time four-wheel drive and a unique torque-sensing, front differential provide superior traction compared to conventional limited-slip designs, and reduces torque steer substantially for less steering effort. Extensive weight-saving measures keep the FourTrax Foreman Rubicon's dry weight at 600 pounds. Engine/Drivetrain Liquid-cooled overhead-valve single-cylinder 499cc four-stroke engine is mounted longitudinally in the frame, allowing direct drive-shaft alignment to front and rear wheels for improved drivetrain efficiency. Liquid-cooling provides consistent engine operating temperature in extreme conditions for maximum power output and long engine life. Camshaft is located adjacent to the cylinder head, reducing engine height. Together with the external engine-oil tank, engine height is further reduced for a low center of gravity and excellent handling. Four-valve cylinder head utilizes two short pushrods to provide a broad powerband for optimum performance and engine efficiency. Unique dry-sump oiling system attaches the oil tank to the front of the engine cases, lowering engine height and allowing optimum engine placement for excellent ground clearance and superb handling. Standard high-flow oil cooler assures optimal engine lubrication under difficult operating conditions. The multiple scavenging oil system utilizes an oil pump with three sintered steel rotors (one for feed, two for scavenge) to provide a stable oil supply in diverse riding conditions. Unique temperature indicator uses two sensors to monitor both oil and coolant temperature. High-capacity coolant radiator is rated at 17.2 kW for efficient engine cooling in extreme operating conditions. Compact, flat-shaped radiator fan motor is lightweight and contributes to optimum engine placement. Rubber-cushion engine mounting and gear- driven counterbalancer reduce vibration. Integral electric carburetor heater system improves driveability and ensures smooth operation in cold conditions. Convenient electric starter, with auxiliary recoil starter and an automatic internal decompression system. Solid-state CD ignition with electronic advance for excellent performance and reliability. Stainless steel exhaust system provides superior corrosion resistance. Closed crankcase vent system safeguards against engine oil contamination. Hondamatic Transmission The Hondamatic transmission utilizes variable hydraulic pressure and mechanical torque amplification to provide seamless job-handling power and excellent acceleration. Engine power drives a hydraulic pump. The pump, in turn, drives a hydraulic motor with variable fluid capacity. Utilizing pump and motor pistons and a variable-pitch motor-side swash plate, hydraulic capacity and pressure are varied, producing continuously variable output speed. In addition, torque is increased as output-shaft speed is reduced. Dash-mounted knob switches to one of three electronic shifting programs: D1 for maximum performance, D2 for maximum torque, and ESP(tm), Honda's exclusive Electric Shift Program(tm). D1 and D2 modes provide continuously variable transmission output; ESP allows the rider to "shift" the Hondamatic with the touch of a thumb using two push-buttons mounted on the left handlebar. The Hondamatic is extremely efficient, with operating efficiencies ranging from 75-81 percent in full-reduction mode and from 87-92 percent when input and output speeds are the same (1:1 ratio). The Hondamatic transmission is compact and maintenance-free, with no belts to wear out and replace. The Hondamatic is fully sealed and impervious to external contamination. The Hondamatic features true engine braking, unlike conventional belt-drive designs. Versatile rider controls provide a shift lever to select Drive, Low, Neutral, and Reverse. The Hondamatic uses multi-filtered (one large-capacity filter and three strainers) engine oil as hydraulic fluid, simplifying maintenance and ensuring an adequate oil supply in all operating conditions. Chassis/Suspension Rugged frame and suspension provide an exceptional 10 inches of ground clearance. Steering mechanism design features light effort and a tight turning radius of 10.8 feet. Independent double-wishbone front suspension uses premium shock absorbers to provide 6.7 inches of suspension travel for a plush, comfortable ride. Steel swingarm and dual rear shock absorbers provide 6.7 inches of suspension travel for superb comfort and compliance. Attractive, large-diameter 12-inch aluminum wheels reduce unsprung weight for excellent ride and handling. Tough, large-diameter 25 x 8-12 front, 25 x 10-12 rear tires provide added ground clearance while maintaining precise handling. Triple-sealed front hydraulic drum brakes and sealed rear mechanical drum. Additional Features Engine design produces low emissions and meets California Air Resources Board (CARB) off-road emissions standards. Multi-function LCD digital instrumentation is compact, tough and waterproof, featuring large readouts for Hondamatic transmission modes, gear selector position, speedometer, odometer, resettable trip-meter and hourmeter/clock. Instrument housing includes LED lights for reverse, neutral and temperature warning indicator. Waterproof accessory socket provides 12-volt, 12-amp power with a built-in temperature-type fuse. Large, lightweight plastic fuel tank with 3.7-gallon capacity, including 1.0-gallon reserve. Fuel gauge is standard equipment. Snorkel-type air intake system is specially designed for water crossings. Thickly padded seat provides all-day comfort. Uniquely designed floorboards allow the rider's feet to grip the footrests while keeping mud and debris away from the rider's feet. Standard over-fenders give excellent mud protection. Reusable foam air filter. USDA-qualified spark arrester/muffler. Powerful, 330-watt AC generator. Tough, 12-amp-hour maintenance-free battery.
