get the ltr. its new, this quads used and doesnt really have many parts on it, and it looks beat, but that might be couse its dirty so getting an ltr would be smarter imo

Yeah that thing looks neglected in more ways then one.

Aye, if it's put away dirty like that.. it's not getting top notch maintenance, I can garauntee.

Used is almost always the way to go.. but find somone who babies their quad.

glad to see theres not only one narrow minded person on these forums

As for what quad to buy...I would recomend the LT-R...but I think your friend is smoking when he said they come geared really high...

its wild I could tell the diff. rite when i got on it .i put the pipe on fist with just the c/b and it woke this man up! the filter makes it run and sound better! its very loud but thats what i like theres nothing around here that sound like it or looks as good! o yeah 700 rapters are slow!lol

Posted by: mx1791

well its pretty much been sumed up, jesus couldnt save that quad and the ltr is better.

yea that YFZ needs a hug... did anyone else notice the duct tape on the hood or w/e over the race #?

Posted by: Warnerade

the YFZ really is not in that bad of condition. So the owner took a picture of it dirty...I've done the same, doesnt mean I dont take care of my quads....

way to over react everybody!

Posted by: mx1791

the front tires look bald, the plastics look beat, theres a gap between them on the right side, and its probably got rust on it.
its got a pipe and beadlocks, thats the only nice stuff, a new quad would be well new, and probably more reliable, and the money you would need to spend on tires could be money for a cherry bomb and money towards nerfs.

Posted by: Warnerade

I am suprised you didnt notice the dent on the header either...

Posted by: mx1791

OMG!!!! that header is broken and poor!!!!

My point is, if that's his "sales" picture.. what does it look like when he's not trying to sell it.. lol. The grime on the frame looks like it's been there a while. It doesn't look fresh. Oily grime.

I would wager money on the fact that the guy's probably never even repacked his bearings.

Posted by: d3ktrix

And that doesn't just look like a few rides worth of mud built up.
That looks like years of burnt on crap on that engine.
My engine doesn't get BLACK like that, ever.

Posted by: oldskoolex400

looks like it has a aftermarket swingarm, possibly aftermarket a arms, a anti-vibe stem, with rear steel braided brake lines

Posted by: mx1791

yea, thats not a stock swing arm, maybe extended, but the a arms look stock, there square on top like stocks ones, but idk for sure

Posted by: woodsracer420

ya, thats not a good "sales" pic for sure but you guys do realize that these are offroad machines and they are going to get dirty and beat up. it always amazes me when somebody spends 6grand or more on a new sport quad then babies it to keep it looking pretty? if you ride'm like there designed for, they will get beat up, theres no way around it!

Posted by: mx1791

yea but wouldnt you rather have a new quad that you can beat up, knoing wut your doin to it, you never kno wut someone did to there bike before you had it

Posted by: oldskoolex400

no for the couple grand i save i can put alot of aftermarket parts or repair work if something should come up even if you buy it new stuff is going to get torn up....period

Posted by: mx1791

well atleast if you get the yfz, you kno there reliable, the frames dont crack and wut not, if you get a good enough deal on it, just go for it, and yfz's have nice power too

what 450 isnt?

Posted by: mx1791

idk kno much about the ltr yet, who knows wut problems there goin to have after a while, they already recalled the shock, it seems like everything suzuki makes has some big problem the first year

Posted by: Warnerade

I have beat mine for the entire season and the only problem I had was an air lock in my radiator...and that was becuase my coolant over flow emptied out and it sucked air in-my fault.
