Default New Motor...

I messed up the motor on my 07 sportsman HO 4x4, so now I need to get a new one. Any places where they sell complete engines for cheap? Also, anyone know how hard is it to install? thanks

Try ebay or see if it's rebuildable and go the least inexpensive route. I think popo might offer remans too.

I took it to a local shop where they opened up the motor, it had a piece missing in the cylinder wall. The cam, head were still good, but cant remember what else didnt work.
I found a used complete motor for $1000, low hrs and mileage, think its a good deal?

that doesn't sound too bad for a low hr used engine at all. any kind of warranty? R' i'll bet you can add an extra $1,000 to that price i'm guessing.

Wow that seems kind of steep. I think I would rather just go out and buy a new quad then spend the $$$ on that.

Holy crap that's nuts!!!!! I suppose that's a dealer though. I asked once when I still had my 03 F-250 with a 6.0 diesel what those engines run and the dealer said they're around 16k-ouch!
