i just had it out for a short ride. it has one heck of a wobble at the front end. do these things have wheel bearings up front?

i'm also having a hard time getting the rear brake resevoir cap off. is it just a simple twist off? or is it a push and turn?

Yes they have wheel bearings in front, pain in the *** to change too but I bet it needs it. Check all the ball joints also. The reservoir cap should just screw off.

can i pressure wash this thing? its covered in mud and most likely some cow poo since it came from a cattle farm.

is there areas i should avoid? i'm not looking to shine it, i just want to get all the clumps of mudd and what not off of it.

You can pretty well go wild on it as long as the motor is nice and cool. Just avoid excessive spraying of electronics and put a sock in the tailpipe or something...and don't forget to take it out when your done. Also avoid hitting the carb/airbox area with too much consistent pressure.
