Stuff to look for on 2001 350 rancher 4x4

Find out if the oil drain plug has been stripped. If so, it is a huge problem to fix it correctly.

How was the bike used? Mudded, flooded, abused?
What are their maintenance practices? What oil and filters did they use? Have they serviced the axles?
What has been fixed on it? What needs to be fixed?
What do they like, and not like, about it? Their joys or frustrations may be helpful in determining the quality of the ATV.
Has it been wrecked?
Did everybody ride it, or primarily the seller? Nobody takes care of something like their own stuff; people tend to not take care when riding someone else's machine.

I imagine that you are asking about 2001/TRX350 specifics, but don't neglect the general questions. And, keep in the back of your mind that the seller is willing to trade down, to an older bike. Why? There may be no other reason than want, or there may be a very good reason...

It is completely stock never been snorkeled no ticks, knocks, smoke nothing. Runs perfect. It was an Es that was converted to foot shift though

He has a 54%gr and a 3 inch stretch for a Honda 300 that's why he wants to trade at least that's why he says

But my 300 has some frame rust and needs a steering column bushing

Thats a major one on these bikes... the threads are weak and so is the port...

I didn't trade he claimed bike wasn't snorkeled before yet is was obvious which made me think what else could he be hiding

I would keep the 300. 350 Rancher still has drum brakes, full time 4wd, so not really any upgrade.

300 values are all over the map. I picked up a running 4wd machine for $650 a while back for a friend, and I've seen people asking (and getting offers) at $2500 for pristine original bikes.

General rule of thumb around here has been $1000-1200 for a running, used 4wd 300. Not abused, but not in showroom condition either. Minor issues (brakes for sure) expected.

300's are in much more demand that 350's around here.

I'm just looking to get rid of it, it's time for change it's listed for 1,100 now
