I've already gone down route of buying cheap solenoid. Yeah it failed me within a day. Can I count on the solenoids on Power Sports Nation website? If not then who should I go through foe cheapest and fastest route. (As well as no nock offs but that should go w/o saying) While I'm on subject. I need 12v 10ah battery. All sites thay come up when I search have the ranges of $30-$50. Partzilla has my battery marked at $88. Is it safe to buy the 30-50 buck one? I mean it'll be 12v and 10ah, idk what else could cause price change so much.


Oh and one more thing, I have a 2004 Recon

Can you trust PSN for used parts?? YES

For a battery you'll get a million different opinions... Personally I've been going with Throttlex AGM batteries... Great price, AGM is the way to go, and they're a USA company with real customer service.

PSN is a standup operation and you can go to walmart and buy a decent battery made by Johnson controls for about 40-50 bucks or so. I'd go that route rather than ordering one online 'cause most everything being sold online comes from china! Johnson controls makes decent batteries... plus if you have any problems with a new one you can just return it to any walmart store and get another. Can't do anything like that online without paying for return shipping on garbage you should know better than buying in the first place!

If you get something from PSN that doesn't work, or isn't as advertised, they immediately send out a replacement.

Thus far the only thing I've had that didn't work was brake lines from a 350 Rancher that had a clog. They just sent me another brake line.

Yep. They are kinda pricey on some stuff, so shop around (for example, small plastic bits like side covers are usually cheaper new from Honda East Toledo than PSN wants for used), but I've gotten some really good deals on solenoids, ignition switches (why pay $10 for a key when you can get a new switch with 2 keys for $7 shipped?), extra knuckles, etc.

I liked Partzilla except "some" of their prices are way too high and they always ship via a service where UPS delivers to your local post office. Not cool. For whatever reason my mailman would not deal with it and I had to go pick it up, AFTER tracking it down to find out where it was and how to get it. Rocky Mountain ATV seems good, and Ebay is also a good place for some good parts/low price. Beleive it or not I also found good deals on Amazon for some things.

I like PSN and rpm_atv on eBay for used parts. For new OEM, I go with Rocky Mountain since they have most parts in stock and ship same day. Partzilla is slower than a turtle when it comes to shipping. I can't stand slow or overpriced shipping. One of my pet peeves.

Partzilla delivered directly to my house?

I ordered a rear brake cable for a 250ex and an idle screw/cable for my 400ex, and both arrived on the same day right at my front door.

Was it a large part?

the postman would come up the driveway an deliver. he retired. the post women was afraid to do this. the driveway is 500' to 600' long, and ya cant see whats at the end, till ya get to the top. i made an arrangement with the next door neighbor to have my packages from the usps dropped off there. ya got to trust your neighbor though. //Ledfoot

No it was a box of a half dozen small parts. About 8"x14"x8" or so. I thinks its the USPS that was the issue. UPS and Fedex are fast, but USPS has a habit of giving us our neighbors mail, etc.
