Title: Re: What would you consider a lot of miles on an atv Post by: KAW3604x4 on March 24, 2008, 05:27:23 PM I have almost 1700 miles on my Eiger and my 360 Prairie has 1400 miles. Both are still going as strong as the day I got em. I did just replace the front bearings and brakes on the Eiger. Other than just maintenance, I have done nothing to these bikes.

Replaced brake pads a few times, rear shocks, 3 CVT belts, voltage regulator, steering bushing, tires and the plastics show the mileage. Never opened carb, either.
Title: Re: What would you consider a lot of miles on an atv Post by: Chillinthemost on March 24, 2008, 08:46:55 PM Its not the mileage to be concerned with. Its the previous owners maintenance and riding habits. You could destroy a new bike in 50 miles if you like to sink them in water, or I have seen engines ruined very quickly because the owner didnt know that foam filters MUST be oiled. A bike with water and sand in the motor and differentials will not last very long.

20-25 hrs-or 150-200 mi.) I know that is to much,but cheap insurance. Only things that broke are operator error. Title: Re: What would you consider a lot of miles on an atv Post by: Cory1020 on March 24, 2008, 09:39:38 PM thats not too bad if taken care off
my 05 2x4 rancher had 9500 miles on it b4 the screen was broke from a rollover accident. Im guessing it had about 10k. only thing i changed was oils, 1 or 2 sets of brakes, and a few bearings. ran perfect after all those miles too. I always took care of it and kept up with maintnece my dads 05 rincon has 1400 miles and my rubi has 2400. all run perfect well the rubi has a messed up tranny due to common oil pump failure on the 01 and 02 rubicons..
