I would be weary about a quad for 800 bucks. Check for caked on oil around the gaskets. Look for cracks in the frame. Etc.

Sounds like a good deal. Check what Bot said and also find out how much it has been bored if any and check the compression if you can .

My warrior was supposably "redone" when we bought it......carb and such.....yeah he redid it alright....and screwed it all up tryin to play mechanic. My pilot jet is broken, and i need a new carb eventually here.
He also forgot to mention he had an allergy to grease....the swingarm was crack ed in half, and the thing was rusting from the inside out. We bought it ...it was dark when we were lookin it over, but we knew we were gonna put money into it ne way, just didnt realize how much stuff we needed to fix. But now its like brand new.....

Really take a good look at everything, make sure it has been takin care of, greased, and see how it runs. Check for cracks in the frame and the swingarm. I learned a huge lesson on my buy, so ill be a lil more observant next time. And when u get it home if you buy it, the first thing u should do is regrease everything especially the swingarm bolt. ( we had to cut mine off and buy a new one) lol!!! Good luck i hope its a good buy for ya

hey guys, im looking at this thing this weekend, and i want a checklist of what to look for on it, just to see if everything is ok.

Test ride it. Shift up and down through each gear. Look for any wet looking oil on the side of the case where gaskets are. You said they just rebuilt it, so there will probably be dried/burnt oil on the case. Check for oil at the end of the exhaust pipe, this is a sign of blow by. Check the frame for cracks or rusty spot. Look at the welds on the a-arm mounts, check the swing arm for cracks and rust. Pay close attention to the frame near the foot pegs. If they jumped alot, good chance they weakened the structural integrity of the frame.

Anything I missed?
