You asked in an open forum what
EVERYONE thought your bike is worth. I was basing my value on your signature picture and description. How else am I to plug into my handy dandy bike eval-o-meter machine and get you a figure ?
But since you brought up a few other points, let me share with you my (and every other consumer looking at buying a bike like yours) thoughts of what we just learned:
1. Your motor is 2 bores from being a paper weight. If I buy it and it blows up, I get one more chance at getting it right before I dump a bunch into the motor (like someone before you obviously did too) and buy a whole new cylinder or have it re-sleeved.
2. If your bike doesn't have any plastics on it the buyer would have to buy some, thus removing even more value. So saying that you have aftermarket Maiers (that are obviously not NEW) is like saying "For Sale........ _Blah, blah blah___, with a 3 year old paint job from Maaco". (Its an aftermarket paint job and it cost me money). Here is a full set of OEM plastics for $170, so if you spent $500 you probably over paid a bit, but that doesnt increase the value.

3. You say you have a new set of front tires. How would any of us know that ? There not on your bike in the pic, nor in your list of additions to your bike in your signature. Every bike has tires and those that are worn out are worth even less. So new tires just means that I don't have buy any for a while. Its not a race bike and I'm not going to race it, so one tire is as good as the next on a bike like yours.
4. In another thread here, you replied to another person "K&N are junk". Now I bring this up, cause your bike has one on it (according to your signature). Now if it's not good enough for you, why would I buy your bike then ? If they don't filter out the grim and (according to you, you haven't cleaned it in 3 years) wouldn't that be cause for alarm ? What else haven't you done to maintain it ?
5. You say that your father is a small engine mechanic and knows more then me. Does he also do all the maintenance on your families bikes ? If so, I again question the fitness and overall condition of this atv and it's supposed value. If you'd spend $30 on a new Twin Air filter, rather then just clean the one that you got and put an outerwear on it. I would then be looking for other things that you have neglected to maintain and would cost me money to fix shortly after purchase.
Here are a few for sale in my area that are what I would consider to be the same value and condition as yours. Most are very clean. Some even need a lil TLC. Some are recent rebuilds too.

I responded to your thread using the information that I could find to determine a value that was comparable to those in my area. What are bikes like yours selling for where you live ?
Food for thought next time......................If you don't like constructive criticism or persons opinions, you shouldn't ask those type of questions that the answers will upset you.
i just part them out to fund my other stuff. If you want to get top dollar i suggest parting it out, somebody has already offered to buy your exhaust in this thread so there is a start
