alright im gunna call the dude tomorrow...

 

Let us know what happens. Besure to get the history of the quad.

 

what should i ask him about it

 

and what should i look for when i go to see it?

 

I would offer him 2,900, but do not pay more than 3,250 for it.

This is my quad checklist:

~Plastic:
*Look for scratches
*Check for stress marks

~Lift font end:
*Check the front bearings
*Inspect under the font Diff
*Make sure the CV boots are not torn
*Check A-Arms
*See how much play is in the steering wheel
*Bent/streesed Tie Rod and tie rod ends

~Wheels and tires:
*Check for puncures in the sidewall
*Dents in the wheels (allong bead)
*Is it missing those black "YAMAHA" caps in the center of the wheels

~Rear end:
*Lift each back tire a little to check for worn out rear bearings
*Is the Axle tube bent
*Drive Shaft boot torn or not
*Brake rotor; is it pitted

~Engine:
*Check the pull cord
*Check the oil
*Any oil stains on the engien cases
*Rock rash on the underside of the cases
*Air Filter, check the filter and box
*Start it up, and get it good and warm
-Listen for piston slap or worn out rod (valve noise is comon on these quads)
-Is it blowing any smoke?
-How is the idle and throttle responce

RIDE THE MACHINE!!! Do not pay a dime on it unless you can ride it around.

~When you ride:
*Check the brakes
*Hit the gas once, do you hear clanking
*Mash the brakes, do you hear clanking
*Turn sharply to the left and right, any funny noises or jerking
*Back up
*Run through the gears
*How well does it shift?

 

try and convince the guy it needs some bs it doesnt to save a few hundred, might work

i talked to him today... he said 3000 is the least he will take i think i will offer him 2800. if he wants more 2850 is the highest i might go unless its really good which it looks like in the pic. i am going to look at it saturday. anything else i should look for?

 

i went and looked at it today it rode good and all but me and my dad were checking it out and it had an oil leak coming from the transmition so as soon as we saw that we left... so i am still looking....
