Yeah, I saw your video form coral pink. It looked really cool. If you come to ride dunes in Colorado, make sure to bring dirt tires for trails. There are two major trails systems within 30 minutes of Walden.

Why did they rebuild the 700xx motor? Looks like those are the original tires, so I wouldn't think a rebuild would be needed that soon.
@mattsatvАй бұрын
The previous owner bought the engine blown up with the intention to rebuild it himself. He then lost interest and took it to the shop to have it built so we are not sure exactly why it was blown up. I’m guessing it had to do with low oil but I’m not sure.
@racequad9Ай бұрын
I've read the top end on the 700xx have a known issue. Surprisingly, they're not the most reliable quads Honda has come out with.
@mattsatvАй бұрын
That would make sense. When I was looking to buy one there where many 700xx with new top ends. I also talked to the shop that built the engine. The guys there said there was a problem with the piston.
