Buying a blaster

That's not too bad any other mods? Exhaust, air box, bars, shocks. widening, etc. Lots of guys get top end rebuilds and don't do the proper break in. And who rebuilt it can make a big difference. Gotta have a compression test first to be sure. Leak test is very important too. What is "turned up carb" or even tuned up carb doesn't make much sense.
No it's bored 30 over new carb turned up means it's pushing more fuel into the engine and new power reeds
Is it worth 900$

I would def. suggest this as well. I didn't and ended up having to do a full rebuild on claimed new top end. Also the leak down test failed horribly. If it checks out I think that's a good deal. 700 sounds even better! Haggle the price down.
I always shudder when a bike comes on the market, with a fresh re-built engine.
What caused it to need a re-build, was the work performed by someone who knew what they were doing or was it bandaided.
Was the engine leak tested before starting and was it broken in correctly.
Caveat emptor, buyer beware.

As answered in your other thread, pushing more fuel into the engine is a B/S statement, not needed unless they are trying to mask an air leak, they obviously do not know what they are talking about.

I'd ask the owner if he has a leak tester. If he does then that's a good sign he knows how to take care of his quad. As Blaaster said the fuel works on an air-fuel ratio, you only need more fuel for increased airflow through the engine, either from mods or an airleak. Compression test is prob most important but if its got airleaks you might have to tear the top and bottom end apart
If he built the motor he should be able to answer all if not most questions about the rebuild you ask. Ask questions like why the rebuild, what oil they use, whats the bore on, what piston they used, what gaskets they used, if he/she did heat cycles, and there break in procedure etc.. Really just basic questions to see if there trying to B.S you in anyway.. Look at the base gasket to see if its new and a good look at the top end you should have an idea if things were taken off or not. Just because the top end was taken off doesn't mean things were replaced. Post some pics of the bike if you can.. Also if there asking 900$ that usually means they will take less.. $$ talks B.S walks..
