If you are going to get another one off craigslist you might aswell fix it and keep it... Nothing saying the one you get off craigslit isn't going to blow up next week.

yea but their are some pretty nice 2005 and 2004 450rs with the factory tires still on them. in good condition. like new.. ill post some good deals that i found. http://austin.craigslist.org/mcy/2124336175.html...............http://houston.craigslist.org/mcy/2116961310.html...........http://houston.craigslist.org/rvs/2168089420.html... i could maby get them for like 2500 to 3000. but ur right, it could blow right when i get it,....... i think my bike would cost like 2500 - 3000 to get it in running condition again.

I think you messed up your reply and started another thread so I quoted it and stuck it back in here...


How is your crank going to cost you $2500-$3000? A crank is a couple hundred bucks and Labor should be about the same. That's if you don't do the work yourself and save on labor costs.

i got a quote on updating my 05 to a stroker crank, big bore cylinder and cam parts and labor for 1,200.00 at a local atv shop that has a good rep. if there is nothing else wrong with the quad and you get it fixed then you know what you have.

keep it and update the crank, it will only cost 800 or 900 and you will know that its updated and in good working condition

id still do a rebuild you will have a brand new motor and prob will be the same price as the difference btween what you get for your bike and the cost of a new one

Rebuild what you have... You'll have a fresh engine, no guessing.
