There's one for sale nearby. The kid says it's been sitting for a while, maybe a year. He doesn't know how to wrench it but says it worked pretty well. He's only asking $185 for it. Is it worth it just for the parts? [if it's unrepairable]

It's a starter quad for my son. Is there anything I should look for when I go see it? What, if any, troubles was this model known for?

Thanks in advance,
Geoff

[should be Moto-4] and it's 100cc

 

Moto 4 were 229cc they had the 225 sticker or the 250 sticker, If it runs get it,at worst I would strip it and sell it part by part on Ebay.

 

Here's a picture of the one I'm going to see this weekend. (and most likely buy)

 

Yes your right that is a 100cc ,Yamaha must of called everthing moto4 back then. It looks pretty good.

Id take my chances on that before a brand new off brand ATV.

 

It was called a YFM100 Champ. Also a Moto-4 100. I think it depended where they sold it.

For example, years ago I had a Datsun 260Z. The original was the 240Z. The original name was "Datsun Fairlady..." Would not have sold well in the US under that name.

I will pick it up either way. Like you said, in parts alone it would make me money. If it runs, great. Seems like a win-win.

 

that is a good buy I think. I paid a 100 for one that did not run. a winter project to say the least.
