4 wheeler

[Mikel1]

Bought a Yahama Grizzly 350 4 wheeler a few days ago for $200. Needs switch and a battery, air filter, spark plug, and it won't go in reverse. Appears to be the cable that runs from the brake pedal to the shifter not free. Racks are on it. Plastic is all there but faded. Seat is torn. Reckon I got a deal?

Good deal, probably just need to adjust the cable or the foot pedal. I have two '87 Honda Fourtrax's, I use the 250 every hunting season.

I gotta get one myself this year. But I need a bigger one than a 350. I'm thinking maybe a 600 or so. Looking to spend a couple grand.

I guess it depends on what you want to do with one. I need it to use my 15 gal sprayer on to spot spray and various other things we do. I believe it will pull or haul about anything I need to pull or haul.

And you can claim it on your taxes as a Business expense.

Hey, thats a great idea. A quad is a great piece of equipment.

Das a good deal,..$200:thumbsup:

I traded a front end loader the other day for a 2003 Honda 350 fourtrax.
The loader was worth $1500 and i thought i had a good deal,..Honda is worth $2500 around these parts.
$200 buys nothing worth having up here.

With the lock out cable from the break pedal to the shifter removed it goes in reverse fine. The cable is frozen up.

I put a battery in it, got a switch out of a junked Article Cat, changed the spark plug, drained the gas and put in new gas and added Sea Foam.

It now starts and runs very good. To get it to run fast I have to move the choke to about mid ways. It had some flutter when running at high speed. Other than that it runs great. At some point in the near future I will rebuild the carburetor. It was a deal for sure.

Very strong.

Normally it does not here either. I honestly think the guy thought it had transmission problems and did not have the $$ to fix it and just wanted to get rid of it and get something back for it.

As of now we have put in a plug, a battery, air filter, and disconnected the cable that runs from the brake petal to the shifter that locks it out of reverse without the brake being fully depressed, torn apart the carburetor, and put it Back together. It is running perfect. I honestly do not think it would have run any better when it was brand new. I am going to have to get a bowl gasket for the carburetor and while it is apart I will put in a float and needle and seat.

I rode it about 30 minutes yesterday afternoon and it ran flawless.

The last of the big spenders. Just what do you think you will get for 2 grand. Something well used? That would be like buying a commercial 61 inch ZTR for two grand. They are out there but far and few between. You and everybody else are looking for a 500CC+ ATV's so that brings the prices up. The 300's are starter bikes. The OP got his for 200 dollars but I will bet there is more to the story or he was very lucky.

See them all the time up here for that. 2003s, even up to 2006s for that, some a little more, some less. What the hell do you think, you're going to get what you paid for it on a ten or more year old ATV? Think again.

Bikes seem to hold there valve. Never did I say new prices or also junk. Look at any bikes and the prices on E-Bay or CL. I sold a 1976 Honda 750 road bike on E-bay for 2000 dollars last year. You wouldn't buy a Harley Davidson for much under 5000 dollars. Used top brand ATV's do hold there valve also when the new ones sell for 10,000 + dollars. Now if you are talking about something that has been beat to hell or Chinese made you can pick them up cheap. I can't help it if they give away free bikes where you live but I live in the real world. Now would you like to price parts to fix one of your junker's or Chinese bikes. Nothings free my good man. You are going to get what you pay for seeing you said it.
