I am thinking about trading my yfz 450 for this. It does not run owner says it lost compression. He has original airbox and snorkel, and rims, I am happy about that don't like the look of that aircleaner. Any thoughts?????

I think you both would be happy... I have a quad I am thinking of rebuilding and then trying to work a similar trade... I just don't want to fall off the quad and break a leg LOL

looks good it has all the fenders too
ask him where the hood and roof bonnet came from or where they custom made ?


speedchaser

That thing looks awesome.
What year is the YFZ any mods to the quad and does it need anything

on a side note this guy has hood and roof but no sides? sides do so much to keep the outside where it belongs.
Regards

No the quad is mint needs nothing

Whats the average value of the quad?

does the Engine turn over/is it locked up.

Hi Jim Im back at it again, yes it turns over he
says it lost compression???? What do yo think?

Hoser i would say the value of the quad
is about 3-3500

i would do a compression test.ask the guy to remove the exhaust so you can see the piston and cylinder.it could be a very expensive repair.i would look at it very closly before you swap your quad for it.just my two cents jim

if your qaud is worth that much then my 2 cents would say that ody would need to be running to make it a fair trade

Ya you are right maybe I will try to get a Pilot and of course add a little $$. Thanks guys.

I would like to know what is the round silver thing over the ex pipe that looks like a veg steamer ??

The round thing is a fan that works when the key is on he says.

Its a crap shoot on a Engine with no compression it might have just stuck a ring and you get lucky and just need to hone the cylinder then install a new piston or if you get unlucky and it burned a hold in the top of the piston then sprayed aluminum into the lower rod bearing now your looking at rebuilding the bottom end, crank, bearings, seals $$$$

Before I closed the deal I would at least go over and pull the head and see what it looks like and if he will let you pull the cylinder so you can feel the rod see if its loose.

That sounds like a plan Hoser thanks for the info, I will see what he says, we were supposed to do it this weekend but it got posponed.

Hey, i'm new to the forums, and i just bought that oddy! So far, it's definitely not lacking in compression, and it's pulling freely. everything seems to be okay, but the fuel pump. I'm 99.5% positive, that it's just the fuel pump that's wrong with it!

Hi congrats on getting that ody looks nice
that would be a score if its just the fuel
pump. Keep us posted and welcome to the
forum.

Welcome.

Would you be able to post a few more pics of your machine? I just want to see the overall condition. So far looks good.

Thanks for the warm welcome! And yes, i'll gladly post some pics up tomorrow or wednesday! The oddy is in GREAT shape for being 25 years old! Almost 0 rust, original tires, rims, roof, exhaust, air box etc.

Highly recommend a pre-filter for that K&N, or better yet swap it out to a UNI filter, K&Ns let quite a bit of particles through.

welcome to site

im new here so my two sents aint worth much ! but if you like it go for it it looks pretty clean and your quad is going to loose value even if you have to rebuild the motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) it will be cheaper than some broken bones and a lot less painfull. at least you will know what you have when you get it running. try to get some cash from the guy to help with getting it running. and go from there ! if he is close the next one you find will prob be 300 miles away. so if it is what you want and you like the way it looks and arent going to change much on it . then go for it dude!!! one of the koolest ones ive seen in a wile. keep us posted on your decision. he prob. has over 3500. invested in the buggy so whats the next one going to cost you and you will have to go threw it anyway. get that thing before someone else does !!! where is it at give me his number i will go get it.porkchops 2 cents

oops sorry i should have read the next page of posts before i replied. kool way to go man i like it .you scored well in my book any one can go down town and get a quad but not everyone can have a kool buggy!

So I saw this 350 on Pittsburgh Craigslist, was in Uniontown, right??? You from the area? Be nice to have someone local to ride with once you get it goin.
