Hi, Im a retired boatbuilder from Maine. I ride a 2001 Arctic Cat 500 manual shift. Only had it for a year and a half. Got it cheap $400, original owner thought the motor was bad, nope, it's fine. I've put about 2,000 miles on it, trouble free. I put a 2" lift, 14" rims ,30" Mudzillas, 3000 lb Warn winch, 60" Cycle Country plow, modded exhaust, getting ready to install a Web custom grind cam and will rejet the carb. Recent pic.

 

Welcome to the forums.

Nice looking quad and a great price.

 

Welcome to the forums.

 

Welcome!!

 

Glad you joined us-I love to hear about somebody getting a go deal.

 

Love the set up and stance man, that's a good score for this nice ATV!

 

Thanks for the nice welcome! I also have some experience with a 96 Polaris Sportsman 400 L. Not as positive, but I learned a lot about the 2 stroke. It was a 1,300 mile barn find. Unfortunately everything was worn out except running gear. Drive chains, bushings, tie rods, exhaust was plugged, oil injection disconnected. I bought it cheap, fixed everything and sold it for a $700 profit. Better than the profit, was what it taught me.
