Vehicle Detail
I’ve owned this ATV for nearly 20 years. I personally knew the previous owner, an older gentleman who purchased it new. It’s been kept in a garage since new. Used almost exclusively in my family yard. Some light trail riding on rare occasions, but I never took it flying or swimming. No leaks or smoke. Starts quickly, purrs smoothly, and runs strong with electric start and reverse. Original tool kit, manual and key included. EVERYTHING works. Very light front fender damage includes a small crack near front fork; I stitched with color-matched red zip ties. Impact damage from rack, I covered with small red reflectors. Slight melt from hitting the exhaust, nothing I could do there, but hardly noticeable. The fender has never worsened since I made these repairs. All this from the pressure of a blowout of the front tire. Small puncture really low on rear fender. I smoothed and covered with red 3M reflective tape. The fender repairs are hardly noticeable. Look at the pics. The front rim or tire is out of balance. Not sure which. I cannot detect anything while riding in the yard. A small ‘bump’ in the handling becomes noticeable when I get on the concrete driveway. All plastics are original, line up perfectly, look nice, are 29 years old. There are scuffs from shoes, mulch bags, and 4 year old twins pretending to ride 'daddy’s ATV'. The racks are not bent or dented and would look brand new with powder coat. I would take this Big Red anywhere and ride all day, without hesitation. I would consider the hours of use to be low since it was mostly used for projects around the house. I ride it now, only to keep it serviced. So, I’ve decided to sell it. Buyer is responsible for shipping. No warranty or guarantees are offered or implied.
