Tips On Used ATVs
Given how ATVs are ridden on all terrain including ones with lots of mud and water, rust is the first item you will start checking on the used ATV. This can take a while for you will check every nook and cranny of the ATV including the A-arm mounts, shock mounts and of course all the intersections which form the vehicle. Special investigation has to be done as far as the fuel take is concerned for you will have to check not only the outside on the tank but interior as well. Many folks skip out on this and find themselves replacing the fuel tank in a matter of months of buying the used ATV. Depending on the usage of the ATV, rust could have developed in only some of the areas. In such scenarios you could consider getting it repair later as long as the ATV seller is quoting a low price, but if the entire ATV is rusted, you should move on to the next one.
Once you have checked and are happy with the rust status of the vehicle, next check the wheels for ball bearings which are worn out and of course weak ball joints. You may have to raise the vehicle up to check all these for you will have to move the wheel in all directions to get a good idea as how flexible the wheels are. Moving on from the wheels, make sure that the air box does not have any hint of water or dirt and if you do see either of them, that is reason enough for you not to buy the ATV even if everything else is fine. Similar parts which are major deal breakers are joint boots which have worn out and gear lube which has gained a fine brown color.
