Should i buy this or stay away?

[bad01300ex]

well i finally found at yfz i can buy, its white/red, race cut front plastics, no headlights, renthals, fmf pipe, ac nerfs/bumper asking 4800. I called the guy and he seems a little redneck, sounded like someone who would be trying to hide something. Anyways i want to jump on this bc it seems to be a good deal. It also has a "new top end" so im worried it might be ragged out. Im goin to look at/possilby buy tomorrow so can you guys give me some points i should check out on the quad, seeing as it has probably been ridden hard. I know the stock swingarm/stem/subframe are not the highest quality so ill look at those real good, anything else i should be concerned about?

Look for cracks in the frame...especially the front shock mounts.

[roostin_dale]

Top frame rails and by the footpegs crack sometimes...

[Jekyl_22]

Yeah... I broke the footpeg frame mount things completely off! What a pain! See how well it runs with the headlights turned off... most will run like crap. I don't know about you guys, I know it's not a big deal, but I don't want to always have to have my lights on.

[bad01300ex]

Well i bout it! only 4500, and it runs great with or without the headlights.

sounds like a good deal, post some pics of it.

[bad01300ex]

heres a pic from the ad the guy posted, ill get some more later, ive since took the graphics off, didnt like them, and the nerfs and bumper are gytr, not ac.

by the way, has anyone broke their nerfs? mine broke at the footpeg mount.

[bad01300ex]

My GYTR nerf bar on the right side broke, I just re-welded it and I haven't had a problem since.
