    How many Km on your ATV/UTV?

    Hey folks, I'm looking at picking up a used Quad for hunting and general yard work on our property. Looking at used, and I'm kinda shying away at anything with over 4000k on it but I really have no idea what the shelf life of a good quad is. Given good regular maintenance and considering the bike hasn't been thrashed or sunk how many km is a quality quad good for ( narrowed the search to Honda, Yamaha, or Suzuki)? How many k do you have on your well maintained (or thrashed) machine? I know I have 130,000 on my street bike and don't even think twice about it as I know how it's been maintained. Thanks for the input.

    I would shy away from anything belt driven and anything thats not a Honda. Personal preference I know but theres a reason people associate the term reliable with Honda.

    2007 Arctic Cat H1 650, not a huge amount of K's (3000) but they haven't been easy ones. Only issues were not the fault of the machine. Opinions are like belly buttons, everyone's got one, do some research, decide what fits your needs and go get it.

    Thanks, this is the kinda stuff I'm looking for. Even if I found something up around 10,000k. The amount I will probably use it I would be hard pressed to put another 20,000 on in my lifetime.

    Not written in Stone. Support for the three Japanese bikes is closer and easier. I'm also looking for a 400-500 size machine. Most of the Can Ams I find are big bore machines. If a nice Outlander 400 dropped in my lap for a good price I would probably scoop it up. Look long enough and hard enough and you'll find horror stories regarding just about any make/model you choose. 140,000k is good info to stash away. Haven't had much at all to do with quads. Don't know whether they last 20,000 or 200,000. All in the maintenance I'm sure.
