Atv hours ?
« on: May 22, 2017, 07:42:45 PM »
My friends dad has a 2005 kawasaki brute force 750 4x4 in fair shape he said he would sell me for $1000 bucks . He has owned it since new . It has 847 hours on it , I'm not much of an atv guy . It seems to run and ride alright . But is 847 hours to much ? Should I stay away ? Any advice would be great . Thanks !

Those hours are very low. If he has taken care of it done the maintenance and not beaten the crap out of it then I would say you are getting a very fair deal.  This type of ATV is a work horse, unlike a banshee type which is meant to run at high RPM and race around.  I assume he was a mature rider and not beating the suspension and running at full throttle everywhere so if you treat it the same I would say take it.  If not send me some pics and I'll take it.   :chuckle:

Such a good engine v-twins!  Awesome deal.  Hours are a little high but not bad.  3500$+ machine at least.  Change the belt/fluids amigo!  Beast will be good to you. :tup:  You should probably send the seller a little more $ so as not to feel guilty.?
MAGA!  Again..

Run the numbers!

847 hours is a little over 35 days(24 hr) 106 days@8hrs 211days@4hrs 424 days@2hrs

2005 makes it 12 years old,  35+ days versus  4380 days :yike:

My hour meter goes up when I leave the key on. Keeps going up until the battery dies.

My folks sold their low hour atvs. They sat alot and as such developed some leaks. Check/change all the fluids and keep an eye on that.... It's a steal for sure.
