Hey guys, I was wondering your opinion on this.
My friend has a 87 Mojave that he doesnt use anymore because he got a KFX. I am looking for a project quad, just one to tinker around on and give me something to do in my free time, and use as a beater/mudder if I get it running to decent reliable form. He says around $200 but I think he will probaly take it for less. The only catch - the thing is beat. and when I say beat I mean beat. I mean it starts but when your lucky and youll lose your breath kicking the keel out of it. And he isnt one of the smartest people I know. Some of the known problems -
Swingarm/bolt is destryoed - I was riding with him one day and tire was smoking cause it was rubbing against the nerfs(long story)
Tires are pretty killed
He says he put 2 stroke oil in the engine for an oil change and actually rode it (he aint to smart)
Its 10 years old and pretty beat.
Its been sitting for about a year+ now.
Sprocket/chain are killed. (Chain pops off alot)
Now my question
Is it worth 150ish?
Are parts hard to get for this?
Am I just getting a can of worms?
