This is my new project, the beginning of the end... I'm getting my 300ex in shape to sell, and it turns out its alot of work. Today i replaced the insides of the a-arms... boy did that help, no more sloppy a-arms. It looks so good right now i might not sell it for the kx250 i'm looking at, but anywhoo... when YOU buy a quad what do YOU look for??? What should i concentrate on fixing and replacing to insure a good sale?

 

It all depends on what you think needs replacing. What do you look for when you buy a wheeler? Bearings, Bushings, Good rubber, No cracked plastic, Brakes, no welds on the frame, if its been rebuilt if yes then what work was done. The bottom line is would buy your own machine the way its in. Hope this helps

99 400ex race ready

 

plastic, play in the steering, shocks, tires, rims, leaking oil, ease of start up, seat, bars, grips, control levers, and bearings. No welding on frame, no cracks.

Thanks pretty much it

 

Along with above posts,I check for;clean air filter, fresh oil,strength of antifreze if H20 cooled,greased grease fittings,cables working properly,depth of tread on tires, shocks not leaking
