Polaris Xplorer 200
This is a typical 1999 2-stroke. It just wants to run. It was pretty simple. New spark plug, fresh fuel, and carb cleaning. Sold for 450% of what I had into it.
Polaris Sportsman 335
It was a late 90's ATV. 4-stroke. This one needed a battery and a carb cleaning + adjustment. Additionally, the shift lever was frozen. This turned out to be the "Gear Selection Body" This was disassembled, cleaned, refilled with grease, and assembled. The cause of the damage was probably pulling on the lever too hard. Sold for 300% of what I had into it.
Yamaha Blaster 200
This was an early 2000's 2 stoke. This one was bought without a top end. The previous owner had intended to replace the cylinder and lost interest after disassembly. Odds and ends were also missing, like a seat cover, and 1 break lever. A new top end was bought and installed. Proper break-in procedure was followed. All of this was fixed and sold for a 175% profit.
