The quad i am looking at is a 2002 400 ex with fmf pipe.
everything is checking out except:
1) there is play in the front clutch side wheel. to clarify with the wheel elevated or weight baring there is play in the wheel laterally (sideways) hard to explain. at the same time pull the bottom of wheel outwards and push the top of the wheel in then vice versa (jiggle it back and forth) there seems to be play at the joint between the top A arm and the "ball" joint thing. its very slight but noticable esp compared to the other side which is solid. now he had a wipe out and had to replaced a bent rim on this side so now i dont know if something else got bent or something needs to be tightened or just dont worry about it.
2) when its blocked up at the rear and i was running it there is a slight devicance in the tire. ie when i line up a row of grips on a stationary object there seems to be some slight wobble or appearance of wobbling? from the side it looks fine but at the back something?? bent axle? at faster speeds still slightly noticable
3) at the front sprocket there is an occasional click sound, doesnt sound like the tranny maybe a stuck link that keeps clicking at the front sprocket? who knows
other then these things esp #1 the quad looks great with minimal wearand tear. the sprockets, plastic everything checks out except it needs new brake pads from what i can tell.
give me your info thanks
