Guy at work just sold his 02 Warrior for 3 bills without a fresh motor. Sounds like a good deal to me.
that is a good deal ....but I think the z400 would be better for her...more go in the sand and such
The thing is Alida is not a very aggresive rider. She will look for the easy way up instead of charging the dune and clearing it.
right but i feel its better to have the power and not use it then not have it and need it....

Good way to put quick heat into a small shop is to wire in a 240 outlet and do a little modifying to an electric furnace. You can get them off CL quite often when people convert to gas.
Well, my sparky gave me a 220 or is it a 240 outlet in the garage, I'm sparky challenged? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

110 has 120-125 volts.
Go figure.
208V if it is a 3 phase feed.

Hey Rancher, you got a plow for your rig? Might need you to plow us some trails up in Reiter!

In your house it could be 220 or 240 or somewhat above or below either of these. Depends on the voltage drop on the line and what the local supplier is giving you. What really matters is do you have a 20, 30, 50 or, rarely seen, 70 amp receptacle? Needs to match the heater you use. Just putting a different plug on the cord wont SAFELY get the job done. Draw a picture of the receptacle, measure the distance between the openings and see if you can find what size breaker is feeding it when you go heater shopping. It will make things a lot easier.
