Default 1996 Polaris Sportsman

My friend found a 1996 near where he lives and he wanted to know if it was a good deal with 596 miles on it for 1,700? So I told him that I would post it this forum and see what you guys say.

2 stroke sportman 400? if the motor is strong and is in good shape it has low miles i say yes decent deal..the thing i hate about mine is the 3 chains and keeping them adjusted kinda a pain these machines take a bit of matinence, but perform awsome will hang with the bigger cc machines. can always offer less plus there are a bunch of mods clutching,pipe and jetting to really wake them up. these 2 strokes really rip, mine will leave 4 stroke 500 po's behind.


just make sure to check the axle bearings,swing arm bushings and tie rod ends over also check the airbox for wastr and mud residue. i got burned when i bought mine (my fault) just didnt look it over good enough.


is that wheeler in wisconsin?
