for those of you who wanted me to keep you updated on the scrambler 400 i bought for $850. (it didnt run and the guy said it needed a top end rebuild) here goes. i took it to the dealer so they could go over the whole thing. They called today to give me an estimate... he said the topend does need rebuilt, along with new tierod ends, rear shock recharged, a new chain guide, and a few other minor things. He said he could do the wiseco piston for the same price as the polaris piston. i went with the wiseco of coarse. total price for everything is going to be $600. which i thought wasnt to bad. the only problem is its going to take about 2 weeks before i get it back(because of holidays). i am going to loose my mind waiting. Well i guess i will just have to ride my boys' little 50 around the yard that they are getting for christmas until then. oh, and i ordered the service manual thru them also. thanks for all your help. i am sure i will be calling on you all in the future.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

not a bad deal at all...
sucks you gotta wait tho...

 

Is there a better brand of tierod ends i should get and put on myself or will the oem tierods be ok. thanks again

 

i would think they would be fine.. might be able to go after market and save a few bucks tho.. but not sure..

 

I am glad that is what it was. I thought it was when you picked it up. Call me when you want to ride. (This is the person that you bought it from)......

 

thanks guys. hey rmilli, i noticed the hpd stickers on the fenders. did you have anything done to it or did you just throw them stickers on there. and did you sell the other scrambler yet, my wife wants one so the whole family can ride. p.s. did you break ground on your house yet.

 

My little brother put them on, I didn't do anything to it. I still have the other scrambler. I got it running now, just need to finish putting it back together.. You looking for another scrambler or something like that.

 

well, i am going to make the one i got mine. the wife really doesnt care what she rides, but i would like to stick with polaris. is the other scrambler still for sale?

 

This would be a good time to upgrade to the new style of tie rods and ends it may cost you a few bucks but it will pay off in the long run.

 

I still have it, Haven't really thought about selling it. If I did I would have to get $2500 out of it cause of the new parts.
