Default 2005 Grizzly 660 reliability issues?

Hey all-
I'm looking at a used 2005 Grizzly 660 with 440 miles. I've been doing some research and there seems to be a few reliability issues with the '05, namely breaking axles, won't start when cold and boiling gas(!). Those were the most repeated problems. Does anyone have good or bad experiences? Thanks for your help.

The cold start issue doesn't usually happen w/ the 660's unless your valves need to be adjusted. The boiling gas can happen, but it's not too often. (unless you don't keep the radiator extremely clean) All yami bikes run hot... I think it's because they try to get the most out of their engines...

The axles break on all quads when you're trying to turn bigger tires and they grab just right... I've never done it with 27's though... Depending on the condition, I'd go w/ that quad you're looking at...
