I will be able to say that was cool in about 5 years or so. Hurts too bad now. My son's dream came true, then I had to watch him watch it burn to the ground and I couldn't do a damn thing about it. I wasted a fire extinquisher on it and it didn't even phase the fire. We were on it with the extinquisher within 2 minutes to no avail.

Get fire insurance on the ATV now and report it in a week if you had none.

To claim on insurance you must call the fire dept. Too late for that. I didn't insure due to no worry's about theft where I live and I would have NEVER imagined it burning.
Used Xplorer, $1800. Rebuild top end, $350. Learning my lesson about insurance.........PRICELESS.....

A few theory's, but all the evidence burned. Not a clue......
Had to be a fuel line or tank problem. It was fully engulfed in less than 2 min.
