Also a proponent of the solid rear axle machines.
The Honda line of machines are still gear drive ...... most/all others are using a belt.
If you're looking at used Honda machines with the solid rear axles, the older ones have dual rear shocks. Later ones are a mono shock set-up.
Still riding my '90 Honda 350 4Trax ..... bought new in late '89 ... solid axles front and back.
Also have a 450 Foreman S ......
Talk to an independent quad shop ..... what quads are in for repair more often. What is being repaired?
Kijiji is a good place to look .... be specific on manufacturer.
Stay away from anything that has been a 'bogger' or mud machine. They often have a modified intake and exhaust among other things.
Divide the kilometers by the hours shown on the dash. This will give you an indication of its past use. Not always accurate, but it helps.
A dealership is a good place to purchase 'take-off' tires .... they're often mounted on the OEM rims and new. Make a deal. The dealership is often overrun with them and glad to get rid of them.
Good luck on your search and purchase .....
Have fun !
