How did you get into Quads?

[grizzlyGuy687]

I used to ride alot as a kid and just started getting back into it. Love riding and fixing 4 wheelers.

i bought my first atv because the colors matched my sled, really dude!

I have always been on street and dirt bikes.  But got a ranch a few years ago and picked up a Polaris Ranger.  That naturally lead me into an ATV about 18 months later.  No that I have it, its the one thing I ride the most and great for shores/work

Salut à tous je suis nouveau sur le forum et dans l'univers du quad. Je possède une moto et je me lance dans le quad tout terrain. A bientot les amis

Growing up in the country, riding ATVs was the only other thing to do other than fishing or swinging from a branch and dropping into the river.

[BuggyMasters]

Rode my first in 1990 and it was a Suzuki lt230! Great ATV.

I got an old Kawasaki Mojave 250 for Christmas when I was 14 or 15.  A couple years later, my Dad bought a Polaris Scrambler 400 and I took it over. From there, I've pretty much been a Polaris guy with another Scrambler, a couple Sportsmans, a RZR4. I'm 36 now with a family of my own I've got another couple Sportsmans and a Trailblazer and an oddball Yamaha Grizzly 660.

had some friends invite me to a weekend event at an ATV park and got hooked immediately. 

[Sameer Fazli]

Just bought a used xplorer 400 with a plow to clean my driveway. First ATV ever. Looking forward to playing around with it in the snow! 

[Mark G]

just bought my first quad, my girlfriends best friend had bought a buddy pack a couple years ago, and when her boyfriend left she didnt want to do maintenance and upkeep on 2 quads, so i bought it. 2017 polaris sportsman 450 ho. and i love it.

[Big Bone]

I have 12 cousins who have always had quads and dirt bikes but I never did. We all live on my grandfather's farm and after hears of watching them ride I finally got my first broke down quad at 45 years old. Now at 45 I buy fix and sell.

 

[BrotherRockeye]

Pretty boring here...

I needed something smaller than a tractor to disc/harrow the round pen.

Bought an 85 Honda trx250.

 

[pablo Blake]

Rode dirt bikes and motorcycles first so i Ended up branching out into quads for hunting and just general sport fun

[barracuda420]

I rode a Honda 50cc kids trike when I was a kid. Heard a quad was better... We'll see how it goes....

[BAMFUPINYA]

FNG here, got into quads after riding 2 wheeled motor driven vehicles since child hood. As I age gracefully, I am realizing that injuries dont heal up as quickly as they used to. Intro 4 wheeled off road machines. UTVs are too expensive and dont make financial sense to me (I have a 4wd truck that I use for off roading also). ATVs are much closer to dirt bikes than a UTV, can be just as challenging to ride as a dirt bike, and I am finding out they are ALMOST as fun as a dirt bike🙂....

Looking forward to many years on an ATV 😎

Got started into ATV"s in early 2000" after riding ATC's clear back into the 1980"s, My brother bought a new 04 Yam warrior 350. After

trying out a friends 2000  Polaris TB-325, I bought new 01 TB-325 in a dealer crate in 2004. Still own the Trailboss to this day.

I was given a Yamaha 4zinger for my 9th birthday. Best birthday present I ever recieved!

[JuhaT]

Well...

Due to this corona time, I have to had something to tinker about. So, I bid an ATV from local Copart yard last week. Not so bad, some new parts to change. Hopefully get it back to road on next week.

 

 

[Frank Angerano]

Nice! Great time for a project! 
What is it, year and any pics ? 

[WPW]

I didn't know copart was into anything but automotive. I'm going to check them out. They have a depot 5 miles from where I live easy pickup. Thanks for the tip. 

[Ryan Menard]

Started on Honda 3 wheelers and progressed from there

Its Sportsman -19, limited to 60kph as its registered as tractor.

Easy project, got it inspected today. Further to do, it needs new tyres, and like to have winch and snowplow too for a winter.

[Frank Angerano]

Very nice looking machine!! 

[JacobSlabach]

It was hit to something on its left front tyre and rolled over maybe. Lower A-arm and steering rod bent, replaced them. And minor scrathes here and there.

Tyres are allmost gone on front, it's have been on road use 100 hour/4000kms.

[Frank Angerano]

Sweet, did you get a good deal ?

Well, I did some watching about other auctions to see the general price level. On this vehicle, cons was bit high kilometers and missing service book. Thought, I believe I made atleast a reasonable deal.

Since this have factory quarantee still 1 year left, if serviced on dealer but not history marked on Polaris system. Just did some search about the previous owner and his local dealer, going to ask if any service history will be available. I allready make oil changes to front and rear diff, but started to think if I can find a service history, it may be wise to do the maintenance by dealer to keep the quarantee running. I have read that Polaris have strictly order to that service have to be done official service to keep quarantee running.

Using paid services is bit odd to me, I have always done (almost) all maintenace to my vehicles by myself... 😉

 

[Frank Angerano]

I hear ya, if you can get proof that the warranty is still in effect and they will cover any breakdowns then i would say stick it out  for a year and let them do the maintenance.  Heck its only a once a year thing anyway unless your putting a lot of hours on the atv.
