It seems every ATV i look at to buy used has no title, does everyone loose there title, or do they change hands so often the title is lost in the shuffle. The ones that do have titles are triple the price. I am new to buying used quads is this pretty standard procedure.
I know all quads are good and tough but thought it might be good to hear opinions as to what member think is the best, from your experiences.

Hello everyone, getting back into ATV'ing after a 25 year break. Hopeing to places to ride and maybe people to ride with in and around Michigan next year.
Just picked up a CFMoto CForce 1000 Touring for me and my wife. We're kind of leaning towards the national forest campgrounds and trails. Any input is appreciated!

I recently picked up a '97 Prairie 400 4x4 that didn't run. I didn't get much information from the previous owner except that it was running a couple of weeks ago, then started losing power. After that, it just wouldn't do anything... no crank, no start. The electric start didn't do anything and the pull start seemed locked up. When I got it, it had no fluids whatsoever—no oil, no coolant, nothing. I figured the engine was seized. I took the pull start recoil off and tried turning it with a wrench but it didn't move. I took out the spark plug and put some lubricant in the spark plug hole. After a while, I was able to get it moving and it turns now but isn't super easy to turn. I put oil and coolant hoping it would fire up but still nothing. I took out the starter and tested it and it worked perfectly. I tested the starter solenoid and it clicked so I assumed it is working. The battery is good and holding a charge. I also put in a new spark plug as the old one was somewhat corroded but didn't look that bad. After I tested the starter, I put it back in and ran some power directly to the starter. It started cranking the first time I gave it power but didn't do anything after that one time.
Any ideas of what I should do next would be greatly appreciated. Always wanted a quad so I really want to make this work but not sure if it is do=able.

Hi,
I am recently new to quads and want to learn about the basics and know what i need in case i buy one this coming winter, i am currently looking at quadzillas due to them being available where i live and when looking a better choice than a yamaha raptor as i have a couple friends who rebuilt the engines on them 2 or even 3 times and always had somekind of problem.
What do i need to look for when buying a quadzilla engine wise and what do i need to check before purchasing one. I heard the quadzillas are reliable and are not a bad quad overall and they do not look bad either.
Also what are typical problems with the engine and what do i need to regularly check / maintain to ensure i can ride with peace and not need to worry about anything breaking, how much do they also last in terms of miles and ride time ( i know this depends on the use, i will mostly be doing off road and some street use so around the 40-60 mark if they reach that )
And to service / maintain them what do i need before hand, what oil, what sparkplugs and anything else such as coolant for summer / winter use.
And if there is any aftermarket parts / components that i can invest in please let me know to explore my options.
Thank you very much and i appreciate the help which i may get and hope to get into the quad scene soon!
