You win some ...you lose some ...
 
Picked up a 03 Sportsman 90 off a friend yesterday , not running with a list of issues ( $200 if I decided to keep it ) Grandsonbrat fell in love with it . Got it running , made a grocery list of all it's needs , after getting it running it had all the symptoms of low compression . ( Go figure , inside of air box was beyond filthy , and ..... NO FILTER ELEMENT :cussing: ) Pulled plug today and put a gauge on it --- 40 psi.:crying: Can't believe it ran as good as it did . Probably gonna pass on it , top end , plus purchase price , plus other stuff it needs will end up more than its worth ! :blackeye: :buttkick: Just pisses me off how people can go out of their way to acquire something than neglect to maintain it . I'm guilty in some aspects , but air filters , fluid changes , grease ??? Come on .

I know this is an old thread but those things are pretty cheap even to do the top end and they are great little four wheelers. Check ebay for top end kit.

Hey ! BUGGY MASTER , l sold it the next day on C.L. for my buddy for $400 as is . I could have had it for $200 , but didn't want to do a top end on it , was leary of the bottom end . This thing was USED & ABUSED . Plus needed tires , battery , cables , chain , sprockets cruddy , plastics beat . All said and done a lot of money in a Fugly little machine he'd soon out grow . Rather spend $1000 on a $1500 machine than $800 on a $800 machine . 10/4 Got him in a 3203 , and Baja DB 80 for now . Hope he hits a growing spurt , he's 12 , I'll upgrade the OLDGIRL to a Bad'r wheeler and pass the Magnum down to him . :party:
