Th All Terrain Vehicle is long believed to be the wheel of choice for the rugged men who love the outdoors, But now, women and even children are now jumping to the ATV bandwagon for various reasons. Of course, the ATV is one ride that can give its rider a different kind of thrill no other vehicle can.

So, if youre one of the millions jumping into the ATV bandwagon and planning to buy your own all terrain bike, you need to know how to pick the best among the pack.

Admittedly, money will always be an issue and it is just logical that you settle for a used ATV. That said, used and reconditioned quad bikes does not equates to dilapidated vehicles. There are tons of used ATVs that work like a horse even if they have been previously owned. you just need to know what to look for.

If you really want to get your hands on a used but totally working ATV, you just need to follow these tips:

Check the whole bike for rusts. Sweep the vehicle with your eyes for those red things, especially on the shock mounts, intersections of framed components, the gas tank (inside and out), and the A-arm mounts. Rusts in these specific areas could men that the bike has been under severe amount of use. You might shell out a lot of money for repairs and repaint in the long run.

Check the wheels. Raise the ATV up and move the wheels in all directions. This will allow you to see if there are loose ball joints and worn-out wheel bearings.

Check the air box found under the seat. Take the lid off and see if the air box has dirt and water in it. If it has, you better turn the deal down because it can damage the ATV engine.

If you are looking at 4×4 ATVs, then you better check for the gear lube and CV joint boots. Chocolate brown gear lube and dilapidated joint boots are deal breakers. Unless you want to spend your cash for major repairs in the not so distant future, then look somewhere else.

Finally, look out for the small things such as engine oils, handle bars, the head and tail lights, engine brakes and shut off mechanism. These things should work well if you intend to buy the ATV.

If the parts are still in good working condition but are already too old, take note of them because they can be a reference point in negotiating the price of your soon-to-be ATV.
