I'd pull all the plastic off and clean it real good and then go over it with a fine tooth comb..

First, I would do what Rico said. Looking at everything while you wash it may help pinpoint another area of concern.

Then I would set the atv up on a stand and rotate the rear axle, and front tires and look for bent rims, rotor, sprocket, axle, etc. I would also make sure everything moves (rotates) relatively smooth. (Steering stem and tie rods).

Then I would check the shocks, making sure the travel is there, watching for any kind of binding action.

From there, I would check the oil level and make sure the air filter is still in tack. Then, if it starts up ok, I would take a little ride on it and see how it feels.

Good luck.... I recently had the same thing happen to me:rolleyes:
