Used ATV 101

What are you asking?

What to look for in a used one?
Things to stay away from?
Someone to offer one?

Find a guy at work who lost his lease a few years ago and is tired of them taking up room in his garage. Get him to sell them to you for $100.00/ea and do the basic work on them yourself (change oil, diff fluids, air filters, spark plugs, clean carbs, etc) and enjoy the shite out of them. Does one now seem like it needs a new front bearing? Do they both need new boots on cv joints? Sure! But you paid 100.00 a piece for them so who gives a shite.

Oh yeah, first thing, if one has a snorkel, def change the oil and oil filter multiple times, change the diff fluids on front and rear and rear axle seals first! Guaranteed those things have water in them.

Full disclosure, all of the above is what I have been doing for the last few months. Been a lot of fun learning and working on them. They are now at my buddy’s ranch as of this past weekend and the kids learned how to operate them safely and had a blast on them just driving them around.

To big of a gamble. Buy new.
