Bought it from a guy in Dallas for $4300. He was buying a house and needed money for the house. He used in during deer season last year and said it had about 5-10 hours on it. It looks and runs good, it is green.

I want to know what I need to check on before I take it out. I have already changed the oil and filter. I have also cleaned and oiled the air filter and taken the slack out of the throttle cable. I will check the differential fluids later this week. It also needs the A-arm recall work done, I will do that in May.

Is there anything else I need to check? It seems to be in excellent condition. I do want to get stick guards,skid plate, better tires and wheels and a winch, but that will take some time. I also have to buy a trailer now because I have 2 machines.

Any suggestions on the mods would also be appreciated as well. I will be trail riding and also some moderate mud.

I would recomend a warn winch, a High lifter skid plate pakage, ox-lite/aluminum products boot guards, and a set of 26" 589s on ITP Magnums wheels.

You will also want to check the valves with that kinda time on the motor. I bet he has not done his postbreak in service. Thats part of it.

Thanks for the info. I will probably check the valves myself as I have done it on my 220 before, unless the Honda shop will do it dirt cheap while they are doing the recall work.
