This very well could be.

I'm a funny the guy talk like he needed to sell the quad because we really need the money. Then little later on in the conversation he talked about wanting to buy a side by side. Lol

Vin number match the title? If not, don't tell.

honestly I never checked, thanks for making me paranoid, got to go out do that now

All is well...LOL..dont know why i never checked that, i accually ran a VIN check with my phone before i forked the money over to make sure it wasnt stolen or had a lien, but i just used the number of the title he had never crossed check it with the frame. That could have been very bad :facepalm:

Got the brake pads and new spark plug today, so we installed the rear pads and the plug. Got everything bleed out really well, everything seem to work as they should. Still waiting on the caliper pistons to do the front, and i just received tracking for them today, hope they get here by the weekend. The same goes for everything else hoping for the weekend. Debating on ordering the belly/a arm skid plates too, thinking about these http://www.ebay.com/itm/06-12-Yamaha-Wolverine-A-arm-Frame-Skid-Plate-set-ATV-/380879178528?pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&hash=item58ae2b0b20&vxp=mtr it's only money right?

Very nice resurrection. Although you do know you lost at least 4 hp when removing the stickers!

 

Ordered my brake pads and pistons $110, just picked up all the fluids I needed for $50, just waiting on Mike to quote me a price on the skid plate and ill have everything on the way. Might order a slipon too that stock muffler looks like shit and I can get a DG on fleabay for $150

You're not referring to Mike of MJUSA are you?

 

I know, right. Why spend thousands of dollars on a new machine just to watch it rot away. Kinda feel like I'm rescuing it. That dude would have just put about$100 into it he could have sold it for at least$500 more than I paid him for it.

 

Are you going to tell what you gave for this gem?

I do want a winch but that's last on my to do list, it would depend on how much cash he had on him...lol

I think he needs to install a winch too. Why stop investing, there's always something else to buy.

sent using tappetalk!

guess I didn't realize that he didn't have one, yeah if I had a big bike like that there's no doubt I'd have the biggest one I could fit on it

That thing is the size of a jeep, so it's appropriate.

 

At Least now it doesn't sound like a car. We need to get back on topic, hows the Wolverine doing? I always like that version of a crossover quad, compared to say a Scrambler. But I'm too big of a Buckeye fan to own one.  :ohiostate:

And the new DG RCM2 pipe...got a hell of a deal on it $150 delivered, one of the reasons it so cheap is because its all powder coated steel(not stainless or aluminum)but it is still way lighter than the orininal. Stock heat shiel bolted right to it, and it has a Gub-ment aproved spark arestor. My only issue with it was that i did not come with a mid pipe clamp, the original one is too big on it. Honestly it has a very snug fit and looks like a clamp isn't needed but i;m going to email them to be sure. And im thinking i wont need to rejet due to the spark arestor and the internal cone design of this pipe, but ill check the plugs after i put some miles on it and make that decision on what i find. Here is a pic and video.
