2006 Brute Force
480 mi
98 hrs

Machine was rode in the woods and used to plow a driveway. Claims it's never been through mud and the reason it is being sold is because he bought a new pick-up.

Asking $4500 obo...

Assuming all is well, is this a deal I shouldn't pass?? I know it's an 06 but I can't seem to find anything out there in my price range for this cheap/new. How are the 06 models...any problems?

The asking price is on the steep side. I expect everything is in good working order and you don't have to do anything to make it "trail worthy".

Carbed... so if you have to fiddle with a choke when starting cold. Once it's running, no issue. If you can live with that, it's a good quad assuming you don't need to replace any of following:
> CVT belt (not slipping)
> Transmission gears (not popping out at high load)
> Front diff gears (not broken)
> Engine Brake System
> Rod bearing (check compression)
> Cooling Fan
And make sure NOTHING is flashing on the meter.

At 100 hrs, all above things should be checked/replaced if necessary. Maybe that's why he's selling as well.

Mine is '05 (first year for BF750) and no problem with 120 hours (meticulously maintained).

Look what used ATVs go for in Canada and our dollar is worth more then the U.S dollar now. I wish we had deals like that.

Hmmmmm, a guy who is not into mudding gets aftermarket over sized tires and a snorkel kit. Interesting to say the least.

This atv is still available...what if I offer him $4200, is that a good deal? I noticed it backfires a little bit but have been reading that is normal for some Brutes....all input is appreciated

I will get an EFI quad... no more carb machine for me especially if you will not be riding everyday with today's poor fuel quality (too much ethanol). Carbs will give you lots of headache.
