a wrecked 400ex???? and make it into a track play toy.

I am just looking to have a fun quad to play on the track from time to time. and i want something cheap. Would this be a waste of money to buy and repair? And would i be getting in to a money pit of mods?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

I would make sure there are no cracks in the frame or subframe. I have never seen an axle bend like that I dont even how he did it. If the frame would appear to be ok then you would prolly be able to get it fixed for a few hundred bucks with used parts on here and ebay. Looks like it would need an axle, steering stem, bars, wheels, prolly tie rods and front fenders.

talk him down as far as you can.then you could part whats good if the frame is junk.too get your money back.or find a roller for sale.

yah well i would make an MX bike out of it. so the a-arms and axle would be replaced anyway. But that axle is jacked up. I just don't want someone elses junk. If he just doesn't want to fix it i will do that. But if the frame is tweeked, it is pretty mush worthless.

Don't do it unless it's dirt cheap, I mean DIRT CHEAP!!!!

That axel didn't get that way with out a BIG hit.

I guaranty that the frame is bent.
