I am the second owner of the atv. A good friend bought it new and slowly advanced away from this. I bought it for my wife in 2010. She rode it on a four day trip to the UP and it has not left my yard since. It has developed a drip from one of the lower gaskets, possibly from sitting. I put a new battery in it last year. It shows signs of use but not abuse. Still has the factory tires with great tread left. The front rack is for this atv, the rear was fabricated for small items and can be removed in five minutes.
