I've bought a quad from this guy about a month and a half ago. When we met, the quad seemed in "OK" Shape. I got it back to my house, starting to just get it set up right for me and replace any missing bolts (which there was tons of them.
Here comes a week later, I have put a total of 1 hour of riding on this quad.. The engine locks up on me.
I brang it to the local motorcycle mechanic and see what he could do. He found that my sleeve started moving in the cylinder and ended up cracking the sleeve. Pretty much shattering it, all pieces went into my bottom end. Not to mention my piston was pretty much cracked in half.
I got all the parts together to get the motor back where it was at (416) and that put me back $1,000 !
Yesterday I picked up the quad.. Did the break in process.... No problems. Today I relize the silencer was falling apart because he rivited the hell out of it and it was just falling apart. I had to get that fixed (probably gonna need a new silencer) . Then I relized the airbox has cracked. Im gonna need a new airbox now.
There are other little odds and ends but im not going into detail with that. I would not do business with him again! This thing is a lemon and things are falling apart left and right!
Heres some pictures of my cylinder.....
