Question is just regarding the work that the shop called me about today that they say it needs… Ive had good experiences with them for a Yamaha jet ski in the past and its really the only place to take something to with a problem that’s local. Ive got no reason to think anything other than what Im being told, but would just like any feedback or thoughts regarding this atv’s problems as I don’t have a ton of knowledge or history with these.
For the smoke-(I did read into this a decent amount, assumed it needed new rings/pistons or top end rebuild)-it was a light blue, smoked in low gears and high gears if going slow. Smoked more in reverse…
Quote to "fix the smoke" issue-$800
2 gaskets, 2 seals, rings – .50 over, piston – .50 over
I was told the whole top end would be replaced, and that they would not be "over boring" the current top end…
The brakes were non existent, I knew that much…I was told that it needed new brake shoes – front & rear, pads, hand brake & foot brake cables, piston seal & piston (for brake?) and steering knuckle assembly-wheels.
The price to fix these issues was $779
I know Im the 3rd owner of this rancher, and the previous guy rode it every weekend on trails, and told me It was smoking a little, and the brakes were out…which is all true. I assume he stored it outside and rode it fairly hard as some of the plastic is faded and a couple of fasteners holding the fenders are gone, a few cracks in the plastic…
Somewhere in the above prices quoted, an oil change and fluid replacement, air filter replacement are included.
btw-its a TRX420FM – thanks!
