#1 TIP : If it has a snorkel walk away...better yet run...

Dude said, Just like dating, "looks, milage, and years" 🤣🤣 nice.

That jack tip is golden. Thanks.

If I did all these steps I would never have an atv

I laughed every time you shook your head. Just bought a camp- obviously an ATV is next on the list! This really had some helpful advice. Thanks.

I'm planning on buying my first ATV. Thanks for the information you've conveyed through this video.

Just like dating I always take her for a good test run first going in and out making sure everything is greased up and you know just the basics

You guys put out some great informational videos on this stuff. Thanks!

Great common sense language . thanks so much for the key spots to check out ,I have never owned a quad and am looking to buy a used quad with out to much trouble in it . thanks

Thank you. Really was hoping but I'll have to build my own. Price would kill me. But if things don't change I'll be in a hurry before long. Amazon and the Tractor store have some for a much more reasonable price. I may have to sacrifice but I'll do what I can to get moving before winter.

So glad I hear tips I never heard b4. Ty

Hmmm very informative! But how about spark plug, oil level, watercoolant level, direction...?

Great Video with very helpful tips. Look in the comment section about bringing a jack, checking fluid levels, find where it was originally used (in states with recent hurricanes), if I has a snorkel

Very informative thanks

This is a Great video I have bought 3 of ATV's (1) a Suzuki quad runner my first ATV, My second 1 was a King Quad & I purchase a Warner winch for $500when I sold the King Quad was my biggest mistake the guy that bought made out big time and I was the idiot for not $asking more money for it, It was only used for plowing snow , Now that I own a Arctic Cat 2006 400 auto 4x4 I just replaced the muffler this Cat had 944 miles and was used to used a Roll blower strap to it to blow leaves & Snow removal for $3000. 00 the muffler had a couple of holes in it so I bought another muffler and had it replaced the muffler cost me $325.00 plus $85.00 to have it changed over now it purrs like a Cat the Guy that sold it to me as of the other 2 knowing that he doesn't seem to take care of his toys, So with everything I have done to it New Oil & Filter replaced the muffler total cost is $3,555.00 there are more to as I won't be getting rid of it unless a major brake down which I can't afford they are nice toys to own but it's best to maintain it too. thank you for posting this video

I followed this stips bought my first atv it was an outlander 1000 and it was awesome antil a took it to a shop for an oil chang and a cvt boot then proplems was like rain...

If you buy a Honda foreman check the front end frame between the a-arm cuz the frame rusts out in that spot.. I picked one up and got burned pretty good and know I have to replace the front half of the frame just a tip check the frames on the foreman if you live close to salt water

Love the head shake AJ. LOL :)

Thanks. Great info for a newbie

Pretty easy to break the bank on parts and repairs, sometimes its just much easier to pay an extra grand for a gently used unit that you can enjoy right away.

Good morning and how are you👋, pretty soon i’m gonna be getting myself one it’s almost new and she’ll be good but I am mechanically inclined and vehicles and not on ATVs, but I appreciate the heads up thank you, marauder man for Florida✌️👋

Great video with awesome tips! Very helpfull

Jack tip is excellent. Used it for cars as well.

Very simple and helpful thanks!

Good segment AJ.

Thank you for posting this helpful video

thanks for the informative video AJ. I wish i had this video back in 2009 when i bought my 01 450 foreman, i got it for a good deal.. and with good reason, lol, but after a top end rebuild, all new shocks, a disc break conversion, new tires, wheels, both diffs rebuilt and every bearing replaced and all factory graphics replaced it's just like a brand new bike, but because of that experience when i decided to get something else i bought a brand new one. that way i know where it's been and what's been done to it.

Just bought a 2005 700 Polaris Sportsman and I went for the low miles first before I would even call and then checked out the whole machine for leaks and wear points. I figure if you buy anything from 2002 on you in good conditions(low miles) your still getting a modern atv that should last and perform as good as the newer models or close to. Hope I am right.

I’m new to this-seems thorough

Great video thanks for the info bro

These lads use a quad for sport, i use mine to go on fields and chase the oul cows doing wheelies

Wish I new about this when I got my used bayou 220. Payed 400 and then it was worn to crap and I spent another 500 on it. But I've had it for 6 or so years and it haven’t let me down even those it was abused lol

They all sound great really. But what about the 750 king quad ?

This is very helpful…I’m in the market…and don’t know much about atv…any advice on where to buy used???

Great advice to bring a jack

Pull off the CVT cover and look at the situation there. Look for cracks in the control arms and elsewhere on the frame with a bright flashlight Pull off wheels/brake covers and look at bearing seals Put on jack and spin wheels and listen inspect cv/drive train boots with a bright flashlight Run the thing in 4wd and 2wd, go through all gears Check all lights and gauges Buy a Yamaha

Hey guys great clip as always, one question, how do I get one of those hats in black? It's sweet.

Thank you!

Very helpful!

I'm looking to buy a honda recon. Fortunately it's a fairly simple machine.

garage kept only, my 07' still looks and runs great!

Much like dating.love it. Amen brother.

Enjoyed the video.

forgot to mention: make sure it has an ownership! if it doesn't its stolen and its best left where it is.had that happen to a friend.

My 1983 honda big red still starts ....yes she needs work but she starts n she goes

can lift kit be installed with no future problems?

Thank you. I am the kind of guy who gets too excited because I have never owned a 4 wheeler. I will bring a jack.

Thank you for this video!!

Solid video. Thanks

Hey guys m gonna use it to get around the neighborhood and haul a small trailer how would that change my purchase

I have been looking for one the last couple weeks and I am dumbfounded at how many for sale doesn’t look like it’s been cleaned in years. Or have pictures of it been dunked under water.

Love the dating metaphor

Hey, my name is Tyler and I'm 15. I currently have a Raptor 250 and am growing out of it, I have been looking at TRX 450's. Do you think that is the right move? and if not do you have any suggestions. Thanks

You missed the most important thing to look at, the air box. When looking at units for possible trade in at dealership where I worked for 32 years, the “very” first thing I did was remove seat and look in air box. This will really tell you what you are dealing with. Too frequently you would find air box full of muddy water, filter missing, falling apart or find a rodent nest. You need to be seeing a foam air filter that has been properly treated with foam filter treatment. That foam filter with no treatment is no “filter” at all, dirt goes right through it. Once the engine has had dirt ingestion a complete tear down is required to completely clean out engine. Oil changes, flushes etc. will not get the debris out of engine as it lays in all nocks and crannies only to be flushed into oil again. I have seen ATV engines that were rebuilt twice at another dealership only to be smoking again in a few months, it happens fast. Then was rebuilt with complete engine tear down in our shop. Guess what, a moth later it was smoking again with new rings just as worn out as in previous we’ll intentioned rebuilds. We had not removed oil cooler and flushed dirt from it and it had allowed dirt to get back into engine. We did a rebuild again after cleaning cooler and no more problems. The two things that wear out from dirt contamination is rings and chains as in cam chains. Why? Because everything else gets filtered oil. Rings and chains run in the dirty oil. Took many years to acquire this knowledge but this is the way it is. Air filter maintenance on off road machines subject to dust and dirt is absolutely critical. So like I said this is the first thing to look for. If you don’t see proper maintenance, walk away. Every time.

mine is lifted and has turner eagle 2s axles all the way around...is that a selling point?? lol

great advice

Wish I would've known this stuff 6 yrs ago

Much like dating line is what got the like from me 😂

Thanks for the info..

Thanks for the info

What kind of tires and which controller are those please

When we were buy are honda 09 500 my brother made me lift the front and rear to see what the bearings were like lol

I mean the rig I’m looking at costs $2500 but she has 9600 miles on her and I can buy a rebuild kit for $1000 for it but I don’t know if it’s worth it. It is a 2007 can am renegade 800

God bless spread his word!

"find the original storage site" is an EXCELLENT tip.

thanx great vid!

For the recent prices for used machines it's less expensive to get a new one.

Well. It's one thing to check for these issues, but it's another to say it's a breaking point. Axle bearings and cv axles or just even the boots are easy jobs for even a joe smoe to figure out. Definitely a talking point to lower the purchase price, but these are wear items on any atv that the new owner should learn to do themselves and not fork out ridiculous prices to a shop to do.

Used is hard but can be a big saving money if you dont plan to used it alot

If people want the best four wheeler get a 2000 Honda 300 4 wheel drive, tough as nails. Lot of newer ones wear out quicker.

do a walk round on a outlander 850

Same year also

Beginners video right? What’s beaver hay and why does it matter?

Good video.

What 2015 to 2017 used atv would you recommend in the mid range (450 to 750) for plowing and trail riding 45 year old...

I've paid 5k for a bike. Paid another 5 in repairs

The bearings on this thing omg! They look like the wheel is about to fall off!

Price bro this bike

Nice vidéo tanks

Princess auto! 🇨🇦🇨🇦

Great information - more videos like these please. Thank you.

I am going to put my 2006 Yamaha YFZ450 for sale on KZfaq. I live in Dutchess County, New York, about 1 1/2 hours north of NYC.

I got the exact same four wheeler lol

Thank you

Any link for a legit atv seller that ships to my country?

Thanks

LOL, if the wheels had that much play I would be driving away in about ten seconds. Also, if the sellar can't even clean the bike up, I'm probably walking, AND if you check the air filter and oil and it's dirty,,,, bye bye.

Well, my bike has all of that. I did get it for $400

I love atvs

What if it’s had motor work done?

If you plan to get into the sport get a honda. Then go from there.

What about a sport atv what should you look for

Is 7k miles a lot for a 2009 raptor because I don't understand why someone is selling a super clean 2009 raptor for 1k in my area

The CV Boots on my YFZ-450 are so worn, that they aren't even there. 😑

or fix it. and get a sweet bike. built from your time because there's always that trade on.

I got a 05 rancher 500 for 2300

SORRY, I FOUND 2 REPLY'S

I've been looking at getting either a rincon or a sportsman 800

What kind of ATV can I get for $1k?

In West Virginia this Rincon is considered mint condition bc everyone here abuses their atv’s and dirt bikes 😂😂
