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

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

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.

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

[macklinfarrell]

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

[HeAdChEeSe]

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.

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